Great Info. I used a razor knife and just cut the hole as big (rectangle, same place as yours) as I needed to fit the wire stub. Worked great. I also pushed mine up behind the nose piece very close and used a rectangular piece of flat aluminum and drilled a couple holes in that to use to put the first set of double screws from the front, I overlapped the plastic on both sides. It worked great. Rock solid. Thanks for the help!
Great video man. I bought my Hobie back in July. But couldn’t afford a fish finder. I very much planned on going with Lowrance because it is Hobie compatible I even bought a mount for the unit I wanted. Hook2 5 triple shot. My birthday is coming up in a 2 weeks and I go on vacation this next week so my wife and kids hooked me up with 400.00 in Bass pro shop gift cards early so I could use it on my vacation. The Lowrance unit I wanted was 429.. So when I got off work I checked the ad hoping it would be on sale. I saw the Garmin was on sale for 300 off. So I jumped on it. I’m about to go watch some more of your videos I hope to see your fish finder in action.
I have a 2019 hobie outback and I'm installing the same fishfinder on mine. I was just wondering where did you get that bumper piece for the transducer?
I'm looking to do the same on my outback with a 64cv. Did you use the RAM universal track ball mount for this? I'm having a hard time finding any info on which mount I need for a garmin echomap. Thanks.
