dsafety...........i keep looking over your wet mount install and second guessing my future attempt at rigging my hummingbird. as of right now i have the hummingbird kit (sitting on the shelf) that craddles the tranny in marine grease. i pick up my yak next weekend and wonder......what will i do. i see the ease of moving the unit to other kayaks (i will only have one option there though) but if the sonar readings are better in water than grease well.....(would the grease make the hummingbird kit a wet mount?) i wonder how well the grease will do upside down if i ever have to store or transport that way.

are you still havin good results from the wet mount?

sorry to bring all this back up - just curious to learn more from your experience. any advice of things you would keep the same/change would be sweet!
