Installing HDS 5 into Hobie Outback - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

nickc5 · 03-03-2015, 01:00 PM

Picked up the HDS 5. Any ideas on how to mount it on the Lowrance ready outback? I've messed around with it a bit, but I'm trying figuring out the most secure way possible. Going to Home Depot later today. Any ideas would be appreciated !

It should fit in the lowrance ready deal. Located on the bottom of the kayak.

Nick - did your transducer for hds-5 fit in the Lowerance Ready slot?

Ram mount also the best way to mount the unit easy on and off. Secure hold.

Mine had to be modified to fit the Lowance Ready Mount.

Thanks.. I'm hearing/seeing different responses on the web.

I modified it using several washers, nuts, bolts and what not to make it secure. Thanks guys

I used the scotty universal fish finder mount. Being able to take it on and off is a piece of cake
