Wade I have a HDS 5 installed in my Trident 15 and love it i have used it 3 times i just got kayak last month and am amazed ,it is user friendly , picture on screen is awsome, GPS is easy to use, 1 day in mission bay it was 89 degrees bright sun and screen looks like a TV bright. I also have a buddy that has the exact same unit in a Pro Angler and he is amazed too.

I was read somewhere that the unit draws .33 of a amp if memory servs right.

Tight lines !! Bob..............

Sorry Wade no pics BUT i mounted HDS under the fishfinder shield and mounted the transducer in the scupper on the bottom that OK inset for Humminbird transducer was a piece of cake then wedged a 12V 7ah batt in a waterproof bag under the foot rests behind the scupper tube and zip tied it in place. Works Great

Wait until the first time you use it YOU will be Amazed !!

Which Hds5 did you get ?

I got the HDS5 Base Combo model Because I am going to put in the Navionics Ocean Platnium Chip , its on my Xmas list IF you got the HDS5 Nautic Combo it has Xcellent Maping of our coast GOOD call either way.

Well I got my Bait tank Done with rod holders AND the Kayak kart is now done. So im almost ready for LJ Tight Lines and Watch out for Whales and Pesky Seals !!!!

Bob, sorry to be off topic but do you have any photo's of your Kayak Kart? I am looking for ideas. Thanks....

Sorry no pics of Kayak Cart but i made it out of 1 1/2 sch 40 pvc, 6 tees and 2 caps, 1 36" piece of all thread 1/2" , and 2 Power Wheels that a really nice Guy from BWE sold me ( They WORKED Perfect BTW )

It is very lite, about 21" wide at top that kayak sits on which fit into the like tri hull areas of the bottom. 1 strap and i'm rollin....

Also the wheel spread is about 26" on the inside and if you add the tire width which is 7 3/4 that is how wide it is , Very stable

OH YES for the axel i Glued 2 tees apart about 20" then glued on the 2 caps , then i drilled the holes in the caps to 1/2 " slid in axel 2 Nylock nuts and axel is solid put on Power Wheels then 2 Nylock nuts DONE
Rolls Great Painted it, strapped it to Kayak and Proceded to Baja around my property works great and with wide tires i think it will go through deep sand easily

Hope this helps i'm not that computer literate to post pics mabee some day Bob..............................
