Best way to mount transducer? Hull vs scupper?
I have a cheap Lowarance X-4 ff, I also recently purchased the Lowarance scupper mount. But after installing, the transducer sticks out of scupper more than I anticipated. (I have an old cobra fish and dive I know it will be a problem during transport. So now I'm back to square one...
Any tips or insight will be much appreciated Thanks Guys, Gabe |

I too have a Cobra fish n dive. I have my transducer mounted inside the hull and it has worked great for me. I did not want to mount it through the scupper because it would stick out to far and might get damaged and I think that is what you are thinking as well.
By the way I have a humminbird 383c ff. |

Ok thanks for the input, exactly what i was thinking. I should've mounted inside hull to start with but my laziness took over.

I just installed my Lowrance on my kayak last night. Bought a transducer mount and ram ball for it off of Amazon for $45. Easy install and works great in water, also moves out of way easily when traveling, catching fish or removing kelp from it. I had tried the thru hull style first and it didn't work for me. I like the transducer arm mount because you can readily see it to ensure all is good with it

This question is asked often.
GO to Lowes, spend a couple $ on plumbers putty, mount the deucer in hull. Cheapest and easiest way. Good luck. J |
