Fish finder help

All I had to do to fit it(CHIRP transducer) in the Hobie/lowrance transducer mount was to cut the two mounting towers off the black bottom plate. After that the raymarine chirp transducer seemed like it was made to set in the hole with the cover fitting tightly down on it to keep it in place.

I just bough a dragonfly this week and havent finished installing it but if you are trying nit to drill into your kayak at all the base firs very nicely into the cup holders and will definetky stay put.

This has been a ton help.
Thank you all.
Is there a good reason to get a 50/200 transducer or is the 83/200 good for kayak fishing.
I see the 50/200 gets a better reading when going fast... I'm lucky if I'm doin 3!
I did look at the dragonfly and lowrance at west marine.
The worker at west marine could not stand the dragonfly?!
He is not a kayak fisherman though either.
I appreciate all the advice

I've read that the 50 is for deep water, offshore fishing, like over 600'. You'll be fine with the 83.
