What are the failure modes and failure rates you see or expect to see on fishfinders used on kayaks?
I'm at 60 trips, ~350 hours on the water with my Elite 5-Ti in just over 4 years with no issues from the FF or transducers. I guess I fit into your bluemoon / weekend warrior category. Had my battery terminals oxidize quickly which lead to poor connections as my only major issue. I typically launch with the FF in my dry bag and connect on the water once through the surf. Keep the connector on the transducer side lubed with dielectric grease and capped for the launch.
Thanks,
