Oex mission beach question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'm sure that OEX can install it for you. Just be aware though, I've been having problems with my Lowrance Elite 4 HDI and have posted about over the last couple of weeks. I called the Lowrance customer service department on Monday and he told me that their transducers work the best if the it is actually submerged below the water line. He sent me a new transducer free of charge and said that I should consider using an arm attachment rather than a thru hull arrangement like I currently have.

Personally I feel that it should work just fine with the thru hull location as it worked great prior to the problems I've been experiencing over the last couple of weeks. I don't like the idea of an arm as it could get tangled on kelp and debris, and also produce drag. I'm thinking of having a scuppy installation though I don't know how well that would work either.
