Transducers - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hypoxic1 · 02-22-2010, 08:41 PM

Im setting up my lowrance hds 5 with the transducer placed inside a pelican box that has had the bottom side removed. We found that the box needed a slot cut in the top to allow for the transducer wire to run with no pressure. A hobie rudder post and cotter pin holds the transducer at the correct angle. fill with water, and presto.
Then when finished the transducer is removed from the box easily so no wires and waterproof connections need to be opened to completely remove the unit from the kayak.
this pelican box is clear so its easy to see the water.
