Transducer mounting question
 

Is it OK to Marine Goop my transducer off center, because of the vee bottom right thru the hull on the inside of the kayak. My 4.7 had a special scupper hole.
This is a Humminbird 3D Wide View going on the Pro 2.
It's a SHS-7W so it's a little bigger than some.
They transome mount them on boats but shouldn't I mount it up front so I'm seeing what's just in front?

Her's a couple pics of the 4.7.
Battery is now in hull.

Thanks,Paul

It depends on the image quality you want. I prefer the puck be in contact with the water, but an in-hull wet mount is the next best thing.

Nice set up Paul. Get that baby waxed up.

I got the low down from Bill at West marine, no goop, could have air bubbles,
he gave me "G-Flex", 2 part epoxy, says it will work great for kayaks. Will make a dam and mount in the center under rear seat, still room to put rods and gear.

He said he used to have a 3D, costs almost 500 in it's day, Only problem was didn't work well above 5 knots, BUT would be PERFECT for a yak.

Gonna bounce ball the inshore, past the estuary mouth with the tandem today.
Work on FF tonight, Perch fishing Sun-1st lite.(gonna win next months derby
for sure!!!)

Matt the 4.7's all you....be sure to call me....bring your seat and if you have a
small 7Amp FF battery bring it. I bungee it to a tray that mounts in hull on both
but I switch back and forth with my 1 battery. I have an extra 2 piece paddle
if you don't want to bring yours.

See ya' in a couple weeks...........Paul in Carp

Gettin ready for the Derby? I hope you land a slab and impress the kids.

"Look here guys....your daddy won the Best fisherman award with this 11 inch perch!"

Will call you closer to the date. Matt

Post up photos of your trips.
