Wet , dry , you name . It has to be in water . Side imaging shoots a razor thin beam and it has to be free from any obstructions . I personally did not like hanging anything over kayak myself .That's when I glued it to bottom of revolution . There was a recessed spot on bottom that worked well. I had to be careful when loading and unloading kayak . It was not exactly level either , which is not recommended . At that point I had enough , and I grabbed a lowrance ready hobie . I have been using lowrance since then , and have not looked back . That unit is B A though. Blows away any of the seven or five series units. Good luck .
