Jim Day? Jim, didn't you weld a custom bait tank for a FnD?
Though I wouldn't recommend a custom thru hull xducer to most, I believe Jim is one of the few that can pull it off. That is a unique design and should be fine. I believe the off the shlef products work well also, but leave too much material below the hull. The one point of concern is the bond between the poly and the 5200. Jim has practically eliminated that with the big screwws and added for some movement with the padding. I've never liked shoot-thru setups and have been running thru the scrupper with the Extreme and Trident. Good on you Jim. Art |

I gooped my transducer in the hull only to find out it didnt work when i got out on the water do to air bubbles i assume. i asked another yaker on the water how he rigged his. He just had his transducer in a bag of water in the hull. He gave me a extra bag and so i pulled mine out of the goop and put it in the bag with some water and it worked perfect. its a quick and easy way to do it. your setup looks pretty legit tho. thanks for showing it. its awsome the way this sport keeps advancing.

Yeah I'm the guy... You have a good memory
Here's some photos of that one. I still have that one and use it on my FND but it was too big and heavy for the x-13. Essentially the new tank has all the features of the larger tank but weighs less and fits the X-13 much better scale wise. You can see the similarities: Thank all you guys for the responses. Great site. Jim |
