hello!

so i just picked up a older hummingbird model... and this will be my first time tinkering with a fish finder...

questions is... where do you mount your transducer on the kayak?

near the front or the rear? i'll be mounting it inside the hull since it seems relatively easy to do, but im not sure on the exact position relative to the kayak...

i see on hummingbirds manual it says to mount it to the rear of the boat... but... i fish forward on the kayak so would the front be better? if the rear no problem because there's a hatch there but closer to the front i dont have a hatch =/ any advice is appreciated. thanks
