I cannot take credit for the fish finder mount. I got the idea from some posts that I saw a few months ago and refined it a bit. Basically, you just attach some platform that is large enough to mount the fish finder to some 1/2" PVC pipe and stick the mount in the Hobie sail hole. Electrical tape makes the pipe fit snugly. I used a bunch of reducer fittings to make the platform and then glued a rubber pad to the fittings. The fish finder is attached to the rubber by screws. It works great.

The unit is out of the way, easy to see and easily removable. Batteries are inside the kayak and cables are run through the hull. Some people have drilled holes in the kayak for the cables. I just run mine under the front hatch lid. The setup is not completely waterproof but then neither is the hatch without the cables.
