Mad Frog Liberator/Scotty vs. Ram - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I like that external transducer idea. Instead of having the battery in a dry bag, I'd just have a few plugs in different areas of my kayak for power and the battery/batteries inside the kayak. It would be cleaner.

The wedge is good for a set it and forget it set up. If you have a gps combo you would not want it that far forward as you have to scoot forward to reach buttons. My jacked shoulder had me looking to set up my rental Hobies to fish from and have been using this. I can easily put it in the Sport, Revo, Outback or Outfitter that I have. It is a homemade version of the TDA by MadFrog on a 12 volt portable that I made up.

Can you access the front hatch with that setup installed?

Iceman- Do you have issues with the Transducer getting stuck on kelp/debri often when the transducer is hanging off the side?

Has anyone tried a Humminbird "though-Hull" through a scupper or "Stick on" also feeding the wiring through a scupper?
