Question for you hds 5(x) users. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'm using the 50/200 transom mount in my Hobie Revo with the HDS-5.... Its really big, I mounted mine with the transom mount brackets and zip ties around the sailing mast, facing backwards (won't fit any other way). I have tested it both ways forward and back, doesn't make a difference and I am just using a couple cups of water put in the hull to make it all work. For me its the best solution.

The shoot through hull I believe is a puck designed to use adhesive, probably smaller and easier if you want to goop/3M it.

I highly recommend a wet install though, it really does make a difference in resolution and detail. This could be done with either ducer. But the transom mount is pretty universal. You can wet install, goop it, put it over the side on a mount, or move it to a real boat.
