New and need advice - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hi eric,
I have tried three different ways. First was gooped to the hull. When that seal eventually failed I made a wet well I would fill with water. And when that one eventually sprung a leak, I thought I've give electrical putty a try. The putty worked the best by far, producing the best signal returns. I can easily see my iron on the sounder. I've tested it out past the LJ canyon and get a solid bottom echo at 1000' which is where my sounder maxes out. You can give putty a try and if it doesn't work for you, it's easy to remove it, a lot easier than trying to scrape up cured goop.

I've never tried an outside mount so I can't offer an opinion on that mounting method. ~~~Pete~~~
