What am I Missing Hummingbird 161? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

2 Batteries seems to be the ticket. After being out on the water like I was yesterday I learned that you for sure need one to power the FF and one for the bait tank. Had I used one battery for both I would have lost both before the end of the day.

Thanks for the replies, it took me 4 hours to finish setting up everything with 2 batteries. I tested everything out and everything turns on.

I ended putting the transducer under the a piece of foam that supports my x-factor seat. I figured since its the lowest part of the kayak, i would just put some water in there and it "should" read fine.

we will see...

I really had a hard time trying to find a good place to set the transducer on the x-factor.

I tested the transducer under the foam bad under the seat and with about 2 cups of water it worked GREAT!!!! just FYI
