The store manager at west marine goes, just screw is on to the bottom of your kayak. I go not likely, some time it gets dragged over things and that would not be good for that transducer. He had tried to hook me up with the smaller transducer that would have been covered by the rebate, but after getting home and trying to install the transducer I found the connector was not the same and din't work. So I took it back, tried to just get the basic 7" but no store had one in stock, so I drove the get the only 5" any West Marine in the area had in stock. The smaller transducer is called "Down Scan" .
