Dude, go cheap. Get yourself the cuda for like around 100 bones. Squeeze a generous amount of Marine Goop on the bottom of the transducer, careful to squeez and pull the tube back so it won't overlap and make bubbles. Push it down inplace in the inside of the kayak and hold in place with duct tape. Keep checking to see if it slides. If it does just push it back inplace. I put a ziploc bag over my ff when launching just cause. But, I've gotten it wet, dropped it on the freeway, ect... and it still works fine. You don't need all the bells an whistles the expensive ones have. I plug my ff to my battery, drop it in a waterproof sack and throw it in my haul. You don't need the waterproof battery case, high end plugs, switches, ect.... That's how I've been running for years. I even use this setup on my longboard. But that's JMO
