Iceman's portable Fish finder

That would work perfect, my other boats are Wildy's and they already have the slidetrax built in. I may have to go this route. Thanks for the info Andy

Clean setup! Beats mine. I currently use the wedge mount in the sail mast fitting for my FF, but my transducer is mounted on my rudder and battery box is in hull. Might try yours instead. Just not sure if all would fit on sail mast since I have a Hobie Oasis (tandem). Might get in the way of the person in front. Oh well, FF is the priority! Lol.

Where's your shop, Andy? Do you sell the Pelican box, too?

Hobie Oasis (tandem). Might get in the way of the person in front.

I tried using mine on the Oasis and it was not ideal with the space between the rear drive and the front seat.

Shop is in Sunset Beach and I do sell the 1120 Pelican cases.

Bummer. Still like the setup though. Might have to lean towards the Geartrac alternative. Just hesitant to drill holes. I'll try to pass by this week. Thanks again, Andy. My name's Troy, by the way.

Great idea. Definitely using your idea and will buy from your store. Thanks.

Will this work on a Hobie Revolution 13? Do you just stow it in the forward hatch during time in the surf line and then mount once past the wave?

Head unit question: What do you find most folks are using? I'm reading Lowrance and Hummingbird.

I'm leaning toward a FF/GPS combo but am in model-number hell. Are Lowrance 4 and 5 lines as high as you go for a yak? Are the 7s too big or overkill?

I can't answer the Revo 13 question, but I'll be putting mine below deck while launching in the surf on my T15.

I have used Lowrance and Humminbird, both are great in their own respects, it's really more of a personal preference as to controls and functionality. I like the Humminbird line because I think the controls are easier to work, but I know others that would say the same for the Lowrance. I think anything higher than the 5 on Lowrance is overkill for a Kayak. You can find some really nice FF/GPS units for really good prices. BPS has the 6 month pay options, even if they are not advertising it, you can call them and ask for it.
