sweet, thanks for the diy pics as well. i unfortunatly am still on a budget and bought a used FF from a good friend. i will test it out and get a feel for the FF this weekend and report back hopefully with some feesh as well. will be tagging along with another friend who's been yaking for a long time and has more experience. still just exploring the bay. but all this info is awesome to have for when i upgrade.

i also found the the middle of my kayak would have the best contact with the water at all times, so i mounted it slightly in front of the center hatch. if this doesnt work, i will be moving it to the rear of the kayak on the flat "rudder" thats build it because it's flat and easy to mount there due to hatch access and i believe any water would generally flow back there due to momentum to keep my ducer wet.

I put mine immediately ahead of the drive hole. To get the 'ducer out of water, I'd have to be going over Niagara. IIRC, it's only about $35 to buy one.

Oh, the epoxy in it CAN'T be exposed to UV since it's below deck.
