Lowrance Scupper mount
 
Any one try one of these yet? Thinking about giving it a shot on my OK Trident. My thru-hull is working pretty decent but always looking for the possibility of better results.

Nice, let me know. What kind of yak did you put it on? What kind of F/F?
Sorry for all the questions. I completely understand the concept but Lowrance states "fits most". I can see my lures drop at times and I only have a cheap little X4. Just shooting through the hull and not even wet. I can only imagine what I'll pick up with it directly in water.

Despire what it says on the packaging, they do not work with all the transducers. (50 vs. 83? I forget which one I've got but it's bigger and doesn't fit)

Siebler 06-19-2012 10:38 AM

We have done a whole bunch of them on a pretty wide selection of boats. The best I have seen is on the Malibu 2012 Xfactor, tucks up really nice.

The Ultra 4.3/4.7 was nice too just kinda hard to reach for install.

YakMedic 06-19-2012 11:23 AM

I installed one on an xfactor, and a tarpon 160. It worked well on both boats, I'm just very rough on my gear and didn't want to worry about smashing the transducer all the time. I switched back to an in hull grease mount.

Thanks for the replies. JNAST13ST, still want to hear from you.
I guess I'll "pop" the goop bond (Uuuugh) and see how the ducer' fits in the area that Ocean Kayak so kindly engineered into thier yaks.

"I am looking at going through the scupper holes on my PA. I was looking at the Lowrance scupper mount. Until I noticed that all it is is a modified sprinkler head. I had several extra Toro sprinkler heads in my garage and they are the same. Just a little modification. So before you spend $54 dollars on the the lowrance mount. take a look at the $1.50 sprinkler. Fits right in the scupper whole."

Now that is what you call a price saver!!!

Nice yak porn right there....:reel:

TEAMFISH 06-19-2012 04:54 PM

Very clean. Thanks for posting pics.

JNAST13ST 06-19-2012 05:43 PM

Np, I thought the 4x would be small but it's perfect for her. Nice spot had to get the diamond mount for more space but it's worth every dollar I'll try to take pics this coming weekend in the bay

roadx 06-19-2012 05:55 PM

the old girls look'n sweeet. did you get a different cart? like the location of the sonar, i had it just a little forward of that.
might hit the bay (tidelands) with a bro, swell is picking up

JNAST13ST 06-19-2012 05:59 PM

Ddwineguy 06-19-2012 09:22 PM

JNAST13ST 06-20-2012 05:35 AM

DarthFisherman 06-21-2012 09:31 AM
