What's the catch with the new dragonfly 4? Does It come with a transducer?

Hefty price jump . Maybe I will trade over the water with Mo ?

[cell128]

I figure I could sell mine for around 1100-1300 and pick one up a few hundred more? I really don't wanna hang a pvc over the side for transducer. Any ideas how to stick it in the water any other way?

So I grabbed a 2014 model early in year . There is one other method that works well. Lowrance sells mount that slides through scupper hole in back of yak . Transducer will be in water exposed slightly under yak . Of course you will negate one of the best features of the hobies , which is the add on bait tank with rod holders .

Nice! I didn't know about this...will look for it. U have a link? I use the dog food bait tank so don't need scupper hole other than for cart

I found this one. Would it work? Lowrance 000-10606-001 Kayak Scupper Mount for "Skimmer" Type Transducers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0067MUZQY..._lCoNub0SSXGRD

if you dont want to run a transducer arm. there was a guy who ran the transducer through the seat scupper on an outback.

Definetely gonna try this out. Thanks guys

[cell128]

Got it installed just unsure if I should drill hole in that spot u marked with the tape. Looks good feels sturdy can't wait to get it on the water.... I don't hrik.I should have any trouble worst part might be loading on truck

Looks good. Cheaper than upgrading to lowrance ready. Will you cart still work? You should notice a major difference in picture.

I got this cart but never used the frame. Just stole the wheels from it and used them on my plug in frame. Gonna have to use the frame now. I built my own stabalizer bars but I f'd it all up I may have to buy a new frame lol. I might tell the company it bent maybe they will send me a new frame

Would you be able to use this:

Works great for sending wires through plastic while still maintaining water proof. Hole saw for the drilling.

Get the Hobie through hull wiring kit. You just need a 1" spade bit to install them. I am almost sure that they have them at OEX as well, just couldn't find a link to them on their website.

Nice. Looks like they sold out or current units.

Post a report once you take it out. This unit for the price is a great deal!!! Waiting for west marine to carry it come February or March according to rep

X2- let us know it is Tamddo . I've been wanting new electronics, and $300 is much more affordable than $500-650 or whatever the 5.7 and 7 inch are.
