The double up inside the crimp trick is something ive always done with small wiring like this. Glad to see you share this trick. Ill be adding dielectric grease inside my connections from here on out now too. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks, I’ve been waiting to see if you were going to use the side scanner you previously purchased for your other kayak. I will need to watch this again as soon as I purchase my hummingbird. Thanks for another great video.
Any chance of a video of the actual picture quality of your graph while on the water? Great video- subscribed. Still waiting for my outback- very popular I guess
Question , only because your near the concrete ships and I was wondering what would happen hit 2x4 , tree limbs etc . with that space between guard and the transducer
Great video! Just was wondering if the image either the side or down gets funky with that guard up in the front? I was thinking it might make a ripple/wave that might mess with it? I'm looking to get the Helix 7 Mega SI and was gonna do the same mount.
I'm looking at this same unit. I see you have upgraded but would you still recommend the helex 5 SI? It seems like a good size and price for a kayak for $499.
Great video, I just bought a Helix 7, getting ready to install it in my outback, do you recommend put an inline fuse to protect the fish-finder? I didn't notice if you had one on or not. Thanks
Wonder if berly pro makes a cover for this transducer ? Seems like you would want the transducer closer to that gaurd ? I fish inshore as well is my concerns
Did you ever make a Protector for the transducer ? I was looking to buy one from Berleypro but they don't make it for the Helix 5'' or 7'' ! Do you have a problem in shallow water? Was thinking of making one out of Kydex but don't know if it will work.
The side scan works efficiently with it mounted right there? I’ve seen other videos where they mount it a little lower but it’s more vulnerable that way imo.
Great tutorial. Crazy set up for that side scan. I think I'll stick with the regular down scan so it'll be protected in the Lowrance pocket in the hull. Having that transducer hanging below like that makes me a little nervous. Thanks, Mark in Oregon
I use the Nocqua 10 amp hr lithium packs. I have 4 of them wired together to power the unit. I got them form The GPS Store here in NC. They do mail orders and have good prices.
