I saw one at OEX, 99.99999999999999999999% positive it doesn't

I am going to go with no but that doesnt mean there arnt other ways of making it work through a scupper or something. I ran into the same issue while installing one on my Ride 115X yesterday but still got it to work.

looks pretty clean on the one you installed yesterday.. I guess i would have the issue with it hanging down when i beach or boat ramp launching and landing.. guess i will keep looking..

It fits....with a little modification. Just remove the tabs from the inside of the retaining plate and it will stay in place. I bought my PA14 from Fastlane and had Bailey do the install and it was a cinch. I've been using it on my PA14 for a few months and am really pleased with it. Screen is super bright in daylight and the downscan imaging is pretty impressive.

Thanks. Are the PA lowrance ready slots the same size as a 2014 Hobie Revo?

Very glad to see it fits. Thought for sure that the transducer would be too long but didnt have a PA to look at and check. Very nice.

Wow thats impressive.. so the transducer is just sitting on the plate? no screws holding it in place..

Pretty much....it's actually fairly secure just from the pressure of the plate. It hasn't moved since it was installed, though I'm sure you can probably secure it further with some type of marine compound if necessary.
