best spot is inside man. any reason you dont want to do that?

i agree with inside. plus any waves are going to distort the reading on the screen as the yak bounces from the wave

i would end up tearing it off with it mounted on the back of the kayak loading or beach landing.

The thing i liked about my x factor was i never had to worrry about snagging or rubbing my line on my rudder.

I can not find a good place to mount it inside. The x-factor is all wrinkly inside the hull. I would have to mold something to the shape of the hull and this way it is just much easier i thought.

I always transport my kayaks up side down and store them upside down and i am tired of the the transducter comming off.

I considered mounting mine in the hull at the rear but I didn't like the idea of seeing what I just cruised over as opposed to seeing what I'm about to cruise over.
