Heres the bait tank http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/showthread.php?t=16465&highlight=bait+tank
And theres lots of types of fishfinder mounts but the best is a wet mount like this

Theres other ways if you search it up.

If you have a Lowrance unit OEX has the scupper transducer which is what I'm having Andy @ SSB mount on my new HOBIE. The temp reading should be more accurate than the through the hull wet mount.

use your 12v battery for your fish finder and a bucket bait tank rather than the 6v battery on the tank. where are you located? I'm in vista and I can give you some help if you want

go Amish. buy the french drain tubing 2.5 ft long section. Drill more holes. cap each end w/ green drain screens. Catch bait. Put bait in the tube. Toss the tube in the water. what else do you need?

No batteries to charge or space constraints.

I saw your kayak... You should call it YAKENSTEIN!!! It's awesome... No need to rinse the fish blood off of that one. :D
