Mount and battery for fish finder - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I recently purchased a lowrance elite 7 ti2 and I was wondering what would be my best options for a mount and battery for it. I am on a hobie outback 2019. Thanks

I got the ram ball setup for mine. I fished from 6 am - 9 pm on a 10ah Nocqua and still had juice left with the Elite 7 Ti2. I would probably do the wilderness systems 15Ah battery pack if I were to do it again. More amp hours and usb ports at around the same price point.

Hello, I purchased a Dakota Lithium 12v 23ah battery for my Lowrance elite ti2 fish finder and other accessories 4 months ago and love it. It also has 11 years warranty. It fits under my Hobie pro angler 14 seats. I also have my Lowrance fish finder mounted on the ball. The battery is a little pricey

$ 250.00 but that would be the same price for one of the Hobie batteries.

Hope this helps

Go big with the battery when running a 7" so you don't get disappointed. The Elite 7" has a draw rate of .09 amp which is no where near as much as the Live unit. But a 15 amp battery could leave you high and dry, especially in an emergency situation. Bioeeno Power has great customer service, warranty and price will be similar as the above mentioned. I am currently running the 20 amp. It was about 250$ with shipping and tax.
Stick with the Hobie H-rail F/F mount and a 4" extension and you should be good with mounting. Make sure you stick with the 1.5' ball. Anthing else and you will be wasting time.
