Title: Chaeki Fish Finder setup
Post by: chaeki on April 17, 2015, 08:33:35 PM

I'm a newbie to kayak fishing, but do enjoy learning things and figuring things out. 

I ordered a bunch of parts as I was traveling for work and spent some time before traveling working on other parts of the yak.  Due to that I have no video or ton of pictures as it was spread out.

1) transom mount, since I had a protected space and a side scanner, I decided the outside approach

2) battery holder in plano box, waterproof onoff switch, inline 3amp fuse, and noodle padding

3) ram mount to hummingbird fishfinder that was on sale

4) velcro strap in hull to secure case

All in all it seemed decent, will need to learn how to use it and test it tomorrow with Ethan.

How nice!  The Plano box fits nicely in the front hatch.  I like your setup Chaeki.  Thanks for sharing.
