I’m looking for suggestions, and there’s very little in the archives on this topic. I’d like a finder that I could use on a kayak, or take with me in other situations. I don’t have one of those nice fishing kayaks that have a dedicated battery compartment and the ability to mount the transducer underneath.
The Humminbird 140C Fishin' Buddy 3.5-Inch Waterproof Fishfinder seems pretty neat because it will run on AA batteries (so no need for the bigger batter and case on the yak). I’m just wondering if I’d be able to mount it properly on the kayak. Might have to modify something, which I’m not so good at. J
Thanks,
Rex

If you don't want to drill into your boat to mount the transducer, I'd consider epoxying one of those RAM arm mounts to the side. I really am pleased with how well they've worked - I have 3 of them (fish finder monitor, fish finder transducer + arm, rod holder) mounted across an accessory bar at the front of mine. I'd also be concerned about the suction cup failing and losing the transducer.
I suspect its not helping me find fish because I don't really know how to use it all that well =). I feel like I get more false positives then anything else. However, it is really useful for reading bottom structure, depth, and temperature, which does in turn put me on more fish.
