Finished Rigging My X-13

[red34]

The transducer finally came in yesterday. I am going to try a scupper mount for a few trips and see how much trouble it is avoiding damage to the transducer and see how much more detail I get. Anyway, here’s the install.



I left some slack in the cable so that I can bring the transducer into the kayak for any reason I may have to.



Here is is on the bottom. I don't have the nut tightened down completely. It doesn't fit exactly flush, but is tight to the bottom on 1 side and about 1/8th of an inch off the other. It sits up into the channel between the main keel and the side so that when it's on dry land it does not touch.



Its a pretty clean look with no holes drilled!

looks like a fish killing machine. I also have an x13. You mentioned being sent a plug for the front hatch scupper. Is it from Malibu and where did you find it? Thanks

It did come from Malibu, but I would look for something that stays in a little better. Water will seep in a little and it finally just came out on it's own. Its just a piece of foam like a pool noodle with a tiny piece of bungee through the center. I'm thinking of other ways to plug it.

Check this thread mid-way down on page 1....picture of my plug...go to home depot and pick one up for a $1 or so....mine is bone dry when I want it to be. Been working like that for over half a year now.
