Thank you for your time in making this video. That looks easy enough. I did not think the screen would interfere with the transducer signal but you have a great fix for that. Just leave the screen off. Thanks again and happy kayaking.
From what I can tell, (not having a lot of experience with peddle power) it feels sturdy and robust, maintenance seems to be simple and stait forward. basically wash out the drive after use, particularly if your in a sandy environment.
Thank you for the review on this kayak. I just bought the same one too about a week ago from Academy Sports. I have not had a chance to get it on the water yet but am looking forward to it. I am going to put a fish finder on mine too with a depth meter. Would you be willing to do a short video on how you put your transducer on the bottom of the kayak? How it's mounted? Thank you again for your time in making this review video.
Hi, Thanks for the comment, the Kayak has a plate on the bottom you remove to add the transducer, drop the transducer down the scubber whole that access the transducer mounting location, I wrapped up my extra wire and stuffed it in the scubber whole and ran the needed wire to the unit. I did find I had to leave the plate off the bottom of the boat so the sonar would work properly, when I left the plate on, the sonar would not provide correct information. I'm working with a new camera once I have it figure out I'll try and make a video of the process. Good luck!
I used your idea with the PVC pipes except I used 3" inside diameter. I cut up a pool noodle and used a short strip to fill the gap between the Spiderbeam and the 3" PVC pipe.
Hey Dave! Nice job! KE0TAQ here. I did the same thing with my spare tire! Only I use it to haul a couple of fishing poles or to display flags. Thanks for sharing!
