How did it work? I am working on the contour for my wet mount tonight. Did the contour of the bottom allow for a good reading with your unit? |

So you want to make a wet mount but don't know if you should put water in it?

Come on!!! That's so....Two thousand and ten!!! I remember that box...looks like too much trouble to make and maintain...not sure if anybody uses transducer boxes like that anymore... Try the electrical putty method...seems like from what people say it works. You don't like that then just goop it. You don't like that drill a hole..You don't like that, then buy a kayak that's lowrance ready.

I used the electrical putty when I installed my HDS-5 transducer and so far its held up better than I expected. My kayak has traveled in heat upside down many times and the transducer has yet to fell off or get loose.

My transducer for FF
The fish finder I use is 12v. Most but not all AA are 1.5v so 8 AA worked great. This set up last me a couple of days on the water. I started using rechargeable batteries(make sure they are 1.5v) so it would be more cost effective and less damaging on the environment. You couldmuse this set up for any FF. Its a simple way to do it and have good results. PVC, mariners goop, sand paper and a rubber cap and screws. There are many like it but this one is mine. It works really well and just use a spong to soak up the water after your done. Good luck
