Got the new FF....now what

[YakDout]

I have a revolution 13' and installed an elite 5 hdi myself last year sometime. It took sometime to get it the way I wanted it, but I like how it turned out. These are the 3 mounts that I've tried on my kayak and of course the last one worked the best

1. Through-hull
Pros: you won't lose the transducer, easier wiring
Cons: you will lose definition on your screen, no temp reading

2. Scupper mount
Pros: temp reading, and great definition
Cons: can come off if you like to drag you kayak around, your bait tank will not drain right without customization

3. Over the side arm (my current mount)
Pros: temp reading, great definition, won't come off,
Cons: drag, depending on where you mount, can interfere with turbo fins.

4. The lowrance ready bay (which you don't have, but obviously a great improvement in the newer boats)

So I'm finally satisfied with the ram ball transducer mount I have, and below are some pics. The cables of my ducer were pretty thick, so the wirecap needed some filing. I love the location of my FF as well as the ram arm.
