Fishfinder will not "shoot" through hull

if temp is importent to you shoot through is not the way to go.[/QUOTE]

My FF temp is spot on with the wet mount. I'm sure it depends on how much water/contact the wet mount has.

That will $145.00 for the BWE Information fee....
Tax is included of course...

We accept beer, fish in trade and always cash...

Your right the temp of the water that's inside the 5" pvc inside the hull of the kayak couldn't dif-fer from that of the surface temp.

The heat loss through the polyethylene hull is why it works. The PVC and cap just keep the water in place. We have compared it to a in the water mount and it read the same.

take a look at this link. this is what i did for my wet mount. i used a container that i had bought lunch meat in from target and just cut out the bottom.
this has worked great for me. it holds the water tight with the lid and also the temp reading has been fairly accurate.
make sure to use a piece of foam to keep the transponder in place in the container. if you don't the transponder moves around and the reading will be off. i made this mistake so learn from me.

Snap lock containers work great as well and you can screw the unit into the lid to hold it in place.

If you are really brave you could take this approach

nice! it has been a few years now, so how is it holding up? have you had to do any touch ups since then?
have you also been reluctant to upgrade your sonar unit or would you do it again?
just curious, thanks.
