Transducer Mount for Hobie - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

forefrazier · 02-13-2009, 11:34 AM

Here is a pic of my finder install:

I didn't want to drill any additional holes in the yak to run the wires through so I bought and extra screw in shock cord plug, drilled out the small hole to 5/8" so the transducer and power plugs would pass through. Still had a bit of space around the wiring so I installed a 3/8 I.D. rubber grommet as well. A tiny bit of goop to hold the grommet and just screw it in! Someone has probably already done this so I won't take credit for thinking of it but it made sense to me.

Fishfinder mounts to a Ram wedge mount and Ram Hummingbird specific mount.

Thats the way I mounted my FF on the Adventure.

On my Revo I use the Ram mini ball in the sail mast with a Ram Mount, and pass the FF wires through the front hatch (No Holes at all)

Looks clean.

--If you use a Glad Freezer Bag over the top of the FF and secure it with a rubber band you can launch into 4 footers and the FF will not get wet.
