I use a dragonfly 7 -- love the picture and software usability, but relaibility issues keep me from recommending it. I am on my 4th unit in 15 months, so it is safe to say that I did not just have a lemon. Transducer set up in the lowrance ready scupper on the PA14 and like it there. Also have used the Lowrance LSS-2 and Raymarine CP-200 using a Ram arm over the side, and later out the scupper hole. I found the ram arm very unstable and not worth using. I later made an out the scupper hole rig that I put in place via the mirage drive opening once on the water. The scupper rig was more stable, but the drag on the kayak speed out-weighed the benefit for offshore with these early generation structure scan units. I still use it inshore when I am not planning a long transit. There are lots of good brands of fish finders, but I like the ones with Chirp technology over the ones that don't have it. Whatever fishfinder you end up buying, spend the extra bucks for the warranty. If you fish offshore you will be glad that you did.
