Best way to mount transducer? Hull vs scupper? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I tried the electrical putty and it didn't work for me. I mounted it on the flat recessed area made for transducers, but for some reason it did not work. Formed the putty tight around and over transducer with it setting flush against kayak bottom. No reading after installed. Oh well, transducer arm with ram mount definately did the trick. Happy now.

If you plan on using down imaging, you may want to mount outside of yak.

I have a cheap Hummingbird portable, I just stick the suction cup to the transom. It works for me right now as I can move it to whatever I'm fishing from.
