I recommended using the Electrical Putty installation rather than the wet mounts. Works great, and is not permanent.

for $1.50 at home depot you can pick this up and install it. Doesn't move when the Kayak is transported, gets excellent readings, and there's no marine goop involved.

New project for Maui, I just started getting a bad read bubbles on the goop mount, not bad for a few years...

that's pretty cool...I may try this method on my new pro angler

Just cut the hole!

Hahaha...that is by far the cleanest install.
Unfortunately that transducer won't work with my down imaging 597...SUCKS!

I may try the two methods combined....electrical terminal box...but sealed with duct seal rather than marine goop. I like the idea of my transducer being covered and protected by something because I store my paddle, net and gaff in the hull and I know it bangs around in there while transporting.

As soon as I get my fish finder I'm going to make a video of it from beginning to end with water video also. This is the cleanest way to install the transducer and it's not permanent.
