I think the kayak shops have scupper mount adapters for the Lowrance line of transducers also if you are worried about where to mount them.

GPS is a must. Ask most of the guys that don't have it and most if not all will tell you they regret not paying the extra $$ for the GPS feature.

Myself and my son both have this unit on our yaks. Mine is a through hull mount and my sons is mounted outside on the bottom of the hull. We have compared side by side and we don't notice any difference other than temperature. Mine shows a two degree difference at times. Slight movement keeps an accurate reading.

What a relief I just bought this FF before reading that must be on the water all the time.. I´ll give a try first thru-the-hull hope it works fine like yours.

Dirty Curti, How do you installed yours?.. epoxic, marine goop?
