Lowrance Scupper mount - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

TEAMFISH · 06-19-2012, 05:11 AM

Any one try one of these yet? Thinking about giving it a shot on my OK Trident. My thru-hull is working pretty decent but always looking for the possibility of better results.

Nice, let me know. What kind of yak did you put it on? What kind of F/F?
Sorry for all the questions. I completely understand the concept but Lowrance states "fits most". I can see my lures drop at times and I only have a cheap little X4. Just shooting through the hull and not even wet. I can only imagine what I'll pick up with it directly in water.

Despire what it says on the packaging, they do not work with all the transducers. (50 vs. 83? I forget which one I've got but it's bigger and doesn't fit)

We have done a whole bunch of them on a pretty wide selection of boats. The best I have seen is on the Malibu 2012 Xfactor, tucks up really nice.

The Ultra 4.3/4.7 was nice too just kinda hard to reach for install.

YakMedic · 06-19-2012, 11:23 AM

I installed one on an xfactor, and a tarpon 160. It worked well on both boats, I'm just very rough on my gear and didn't want to worry about smashing the transducer all the time. I switched back to an in hull grease mount.

Thanks for the replies. JNAST13ST, still want to hear from you.
I guess I'll "pop" the goop bond (Uuuugh) and see how the ducer' fits in the area that Ocean Kayak so kindly engineered into thier yaks.

"I am looking at going through the scupper holes on my PA. I was looking at the Lowrance scupper mount. Until I noticed that all it is is a modified sprinkler head. I had several extra Toro sprinkler heads in my garage and they are the same. Just a little modification. So before you spend $54 dollars on the the lowrance mount. take a look at the $1.50 sprinkler. Fits right in the scupper whole."

If I even had a lowrance FF I would try it but I don't even have a FF yet

JNAST13ST · 06-19-2012, 04:25 PM

I finally got this back today from OEX, I had CJ install it cause didnt want to make any mistakes. it came out great still have not put it on the water but everything should be good. thanks CJ

mtnbykr2 · 06-19-2012, 04:51 PM

Nice yak porn right there....

TEAMFISH · 06-19-2012, 04:54 PM

Very clean. Thanks for posting pics.

JNAST13ST · 06-19-2012, 05:43 PM

Np, I thought the 4x would be small but it's perfect for her. Nice spot had to get the diamond mount for more space but it's worth every dollar I'll try to take pics this coming weekend in the bay

roadx · 06-19-2012, 05:55 PM

the old girls look'n sweeet. did you get a different cart? like the location of the sonar, i had it just a little forward of that.
might hit the bay (tidelands) with a bro, swell is picking up

JNAST13ST · 06-19-2012, 05:59 PM

This is what I wanted to get but dont have the patients to wait for 2 weeks . http://www.tallonsystems.com/view/ta..._for_lowrance/

Ddwineguy · 06-19-2012, 09:22 PM

Looks good. That cart looks familiar...

JNAST13ST · 06-20-2012, 05:35 AM

DarthFisherman · 06-21-2012, 09:31 AM
