New Electronics - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Milad Marrone · 02-21-2018, 05:17 PM

Just got a fish finder and battery for my Kraken. Got tired of blindly fishing and decided that the Dragonfly 7 Pro would be the best investment. I purchased a BerleyPro sun visor which is great for those sunny days. Also gonna test out the new 10 Ah Nocqua Pro Power Kit. I’ll post another picture of the gear when I get it mounted on my boat.

I REALLY like my 7 Pro. I also added the visor as this is a beast to keep the sun off.

The only suggestion I'll make is to be 100% sure where you want to install it. This isnt a small/narrow unit, so it very easily can get in the way. I'm happy where mine is (left gunwale) but if I try to paddle too aggressively, I have a tendency to hit the top corner of the Berley...

I was thinking of putting it on my center hatch and using a RAM plate for a base. The transducer doesn’t fit the bottom of my boat though so that’s great. Apparently if I email Raymarine they’ll send me one that fits.

Been looking at that battery from a Robert Field suggestion. Let us know if you get a full day from it. I have an Elite 7ti that kills my small battery in about 4 hours.

The battery takes 9-12 hours to charge so it better last me a whole day XD

D7 uses 10 watts at full brightness so you should be getting around 10 hours of usage on that battery.
