Fair point.... 2016 Ride 135. No rudder, no in-scupper option for 'ducer (the Raymarine transducer is HUGE.)

Under water is your best option. Now I have a lowrance ready kayak but my next move on the tarpon would have been to install the ducer in a scupper hole closer to the front. That way it doesn't get damaged when I drag the kayak.

I see a bunch of people waste time on battery boxes. Imo they are not needed. Just clean an lube the plugs.
Hmmm, not sure why it would cause THAT much drag, but it makes sense.

The battery box is a must when you have a less-than sealed hull.
