transducer mounting help - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Since you've already used your transducer, the free exchange option from Humminbird is no longer an option. You can just buy their excellent flush-mount through hull xducer for about $35, though. That is what I used on my 'yak. Yes, you have to drill a two-inch hole in the hull. But with the rubber washers included and a bead of goop, it'll never leak.

I have the same fishfinder, and my setup is outstanding. Perfect readings of depth, structure, and fish. However, my replacement transducer doesn't have the temp sensor. I carry a simple digital thermometer that I drop into a scupper to make up for it.

Outside view, installed. Note that it protrudes from the hull only 0.20" and is flat.

Here's what it looks like from inside...
