I am glad Matt was able to hook many of you up. 

Any divers have questions please hit me up as I have been using it on most dives and have learned a lot on its use and how not to keep shocking myself.

Thanks guys for all of your support and patience! I have a pic with them all going out.  Suzie really killed it getting them all registered and out to everyone in 2 hours!

I still have 2 extra I ordered just in case. Let me know if anyone else decides they want one!

how are you guys going to set up the SS on your yaks?  do you submerge the entire unit, or just the whip portion?  over the side, or down the scupper?

I have tried hooking to handle and hanging tail over.  Easier to turn on and off but I zap myself often.  I usually do this when diving and going from one location to another.  If I am mostly kayaking or trolling I put in scupper hole and just leave it on.

For a 2015 Hobie, Attach it behind the seat and drop tail over the side.  Putting the tail inside the scupper hole will mess up the transducer signal.
I use a Dragonfly 7 Chirp.

Good point ... does it mess with the signal & how close to a transducer can it be?  Might have to expense one to Lowrance for product testing  :smt002 :smt003

mine velcro wraps around my forward seat straps on my right hip and i made a small rope with clasp to act as back up connector---turn on and off easy and 90 percent off the tail is in the water---there is a small section  where the tail leaves the unit itself that does not transmit anyways so i really ony loose an inch of submersion....l

just played with it today. Attached to seat straps, but when left loose tail did not submerge enough (green light blinking). I routed tail through the anchor trolley's ring and voila.
