Fish Finder Mounting

[BillzBaitz]

ok so I want to move my fish finder to where a sail would connect to my PA14.. i know a couple of guys have done it. Was wondering how? what mount did they use? IM thinking of getting an hbar for better bass fishing platform and my current loaction of my lorance will be in the way..

You're welcome. That's what I'm using on my revo for the hds5. Just noticed that it's in my avatar if that gives you any help with a visual. Not as close as I would like it but out of the way and easily visible.

Don't mean to thread jack but I have a revo 11 with HDS5 that I'm thinking install. Where did you put the battery? And did you drill any holes for the power line to ff?
I was going to make the portable ff like Iceman posted but the ff is too heavy to put on top of battery box. I rigged my other kayaks with extra power cable so I can use the same ff on all of them.
Thanks!

I coiled up the extra cable and zip tied it to the sail mast. The battery is in a cheap waterproof box bungied to the mast also. I run the cables to the unit out of the front hatch and just close the lid on top of them. I really didn't want to drill any holes if I didn't have to. I'm sure that it doesn't help the seal much but no water comes in under the lid.
