Permanent Wet Transducer Installation - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

grey zone · 01-20-2010, 01:38 PM

I use a similar system that is a little more simple and works well. I have a small hard plastic box that is directly gooped to the inside of the kayak. The box is big enough for the transducer to sit in and the sides are 3" high. The bottom of the box was not removed so leaks are not a problem. I place the transducer in the box and add 1-2" of water and its good to go. I do not use a lid and water splashing out has never been a problem. You do not need much water. The depth finder I use is a Garmin and the picture is great.
