Hobie Lowrance ready problem - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The sand that would gather in there would be the fine silt that floats around in the shallows and eventually becomes enough to notice in the transducer housing. I think. Also has not happened to me yet so idk. But if my thinking is right, a netting around the opening wouldnt really help. Maybe having a bottle of water that you can pour into that scupper to help push it out?

Drill holes in the transducer plate to let the sand wash out maybe?

I noticed the same issue on my PA12 last month. I thought it was the dense kelp that tricks to FF in to thinking the bottle was much shallower.

I had the same issue the first few times I took out my PA. Don't drag it backwards in the sand, it will pack that sand in like no other. After rinsing out and not dragging the PA backwards in the sand, I haven't had the problem.
