Thanks octico, I've never heard of instamorph before, how did you melt it?

I use one of these on my outback.

I use a ram transducer arm. I was hesitant to go that route as there are a few downsides (risk of hang ups, drag, etc), but I haven't had issues with it yet. I lift it up out of the water when I'm in route to a fishing area then drop the transducer when I want to look around below the kayak. Ideally I'd prefer a molded in transducer pocket on the hull, but the ram mount is fairly practical.

I have a hummingbird fish finder and the suction cup mount is designed for that transducer, however I believe they sell universal ones that may work for your transducer.
The one I have is called:Humminbird 7400901 MHX XNPT Portable Mounting Hardware Kit

I also have a hummingbird suction cup mount but it won't work on my Malibu due to the texture of the hull. So I made a swing down arm to mount on the stern that will swing up out of the way if it hits anything. I'm going to try a scupper mount on my Garmin

I've got mine on a Mad Frog Gear TDA which attaches to a Yak Attack Gear Trac. Super easy mounting it in the morning, and you do get used to dodging the worst of the debris on top. Drag isn't as bad as you would think either.

When I got my Trident I tried in-hull with Duct Seal. It worked, but I really missed having accurate temps and the much better signal you get with having the transducer in the water.

The best part of kayak fishing these days is the amount of options we have. Wasn't like that when I started in 2001. Our options were limited and for the most part were being invented as we tried things.
