fish finders

still unsure of how to do things inside the yak, or how to seal the hole i have to drill for the wires?

Get your stuff together and lay it out on your yak and you'll figure it out.

The hole to run the wire can go under the base mount, and you can seal it with silicone.  OR you might be able to run the wire under a hatch temporarily until you decide.

There's a bunch of pics of rigged fishfinders here and elsewhere...  Everyone does it a little differently.

yeah i just found a thread with some pro looking setups man!!

WOW!

I have a byunch of RC cars that i race, GEEK i know!! But i have some trick lipo batteried that last FOREVER, i want to try to use those!

Just an FYI for anyone else who might read this.

If you buy a Humminbird FF you can send the transducer to them and they will replace it with the thru-hull transducer for free.

WHAT????? ah man!!!!

i got a fish finder for sale here!!!!!!!

Yeah, if I had a T13, I'd definitely do the scupper transducer.  There aren't many things I'm jealous of OK about, but the scupper transducer and rod pod are 2 things I admire.

I got a charger from a friend and made my own packs from 10 AA's and heat shrink tubing... and then did the Loc N Loc container thing per SBD's "New School power Supply" artcle.

Makes charging and swapping batteries a snap...  and it's so lightweight as to be unnoticeable.

So u will be a pro @ this by the time i get mine and will have to share proprietary info...

man, i dont know... im bummed i didnt get the hummingbird now that i heard you can get the free thru hull transducer..... oh well, no sweat, it will work fin, just be more work!

As for being a pro at "pimping my kayak" oh man, not sure about that, so far my rigging all works just fine, but I sped threw it all, has a ghetto homemade flavor to it.... ill get the finder installed, but it surely wont be like the pro's yaks on here.... BUT, if it works, im happy!

  Thats what counts!!!

I had bad luck with the goop and ended up doing the noodle/water thing, works perfect for me.

Well I just went a little nuts...and ordered the 350 s/map gps and bat + charger, also a grip of swim baits...and an all important net...from Cabela's but DAMN i didn't get a CAMERA ...that's NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
