The low spot in a PA is just at the front hatch. I place my transducer inside the hull, drop in a couple of handfuls of water...transducer mounted and works like a charm...Jim

Hey Ox,

Super high tech stuff so stay with me...when I bought this PA, it had the battery holder in place. I wedge my flip flop to hold the transducer down but that's not even necessary. It sits up right. All excess cable is zip tied and out of the way. I drop in a couple of handfuls of water to hydrate the space between hull and transducer. It works as well as any goop or putty and NEVER fails. Hope this helps. Jim

Jim, as much as I'd like to think this is some sort of joke I have a feeling that this is really how you mount your transducer. Those wiggly lines on your aren't fish, they're air bubbles.

JORGEE...I turn my gain up...I turn my gain down...I count the "bubbles" on the screen...I change colors on my screen...I play with myself out there in the dark...but when the fish cruise through on my FF, I take a picture, with or without the bubbles...and when the fishies bite, I don't look at the screen. Bottom left of the screen, three fishies cruising through. Jim

Question: Why don't you mount it in the transducer pod aka Lowrance ready location?

That is a feature hobie came up with just a few years ago. So it is probably a pre 2013 PA.
