Yep it does work great you will never get a better more accurate reading of the water, Depth Etc,Etc Than Deploying a Transducer directly into the water beneath your Kayak, But like Mtnbykr Said it gets caught on the Kelp and not only that but Paddeling is made harder on that side & having something dragging through the water makes your Yak turn and slows you down like having a Livewell with the Pump on the side.

I can see how it would gather kelp, eel grass, plastic bags, etc., but I don't think it will cause much drag. Bait tubes are much larger and are hardly noticeable.

An over the side mount should be within easy reach and retractable so you can pull it up before paddling through kelp.
