Rigging 2017 xfactor questions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks for the inspiration, I have a 2016 Malibu X Factor and the Lowrance ready spot is big enough but the stainless steel bracket I have isn't wide enough for the transducer, so I bought the smaller transducer that fit the bracket. It works but I remember it reading even better when I had it on a previous kayak with the larger transducer. Just need to get some aluminum sheet metal. When I choose to use it, I have more experience using the HDS5 gen 2 than my Lowrance Elite 7TI and love using it still.
