^^ Hahaha
What mount do you have it on? You might be able to get an extension like a Scotty 254M or Railblaza Fixed Extender or Adjustable Extender R-Lock. That or shove a drink bottle behind it.

I actually have the same setup with my Garmin Echomap, but elected to not use at area to mount my FF because I like using a ram mount and it already had a track mount Just to the right side on the rail of the kayak.
I also got way more used to having my FF within arm's reach on my outback, and at a much better angle for the sun and my shadow. I just use that hatch to store my mask/snorkel and weight belt when I dive ![]() I'd recommend something akin to a kickstand, maybe a hinged item you could screw into the cover? |

It won't corrode so bad if you dielectric grease the connection and never unplug it lol. It's the exposure to air and corrosive materials that gets you!

wedge a pool noodle behind it. And dielectric grease, corrosionX or consistent spraying with wd40 will work

Thanks for all the replies! As it turns out, a Gatorade bottle worked perfectly.
I love a low tech solution. |

X2 Dielectric Grease generously applied every use on all fittings keeps my ff running. Buy the automotive sized tube online for a fraction of the cost of the small tubes sold in marine stores.
