Jeff the yakpower 5 button panel with the extension cable will fit on the powerlink plate and still remain watertight if you are careful. I did it on mine and it works. Also highly recommend the Railblaza hexx live 30 pole for mounting the livescope transducer. The color even matches the gator green.
I love wiring boats, I still wire all my Motorcycles, ATVs and hotrods. I am not a huge fan of the crimps I always try to solder every connection then use shrink tubing is a must if its in the elements.
Couple of things. Nice job on the install very clean. I use the same transducer mount on my pdl120. I use alot of the yakhobby products. Curious why you didnt get the extension cable for the control panel for the yakpower. I dont blame you for not wanting to drill a 2" hole in the kayak. I made a mount for mine using 1" ram ball mounts. I can send you a picture of it if you like. Always enjoy install videos. 👍🏻👍🏻
I have the boondox bridge as well, and I think one thing I would've liked for them to have done is make the top and the bottom fully slotted. The bottom has two slots, one on each side, that has their allen bolts that go through. I think it would've been nice to have a full slot or, a t-bolt to go through so you could use a spin nut. I used the Yakattack Loc N Load setup with the Yakattack 90 degree Mighty Mount Vertical adapter. That way I can completely take the bridge off if I want to easily with a flip of the LocNLoads. Nice work btw, thanks for sharing. I really want the Garmin to replace my Lowrance Hook 9. I'd like a pair of them but I don't think I need one until I get into tournament fishing. That'll be after I get my Titan X.
I stopped using the RAM ball mounts as they would not hold securely enough for my liking. I transitioned to the Yakattack finder mount as it has teeth that sticks. My RAM ball mount would move too often in rough water and I got tired of tightening it down all the time!
Thank you for doing this video. I sure like the narrowness of that Boonedox bar. I went with the 26” Captains Bridge on my Titan X. It’s a bit thick, but is sturdy. I can still raise my pedal drive and open the front hatch. I ordered the same Yakhobby transducer parts last night. Have you had any side scanning issues with the transducer tucked up so high?
Just a heads up Garmin doesnt recommend using zip ties on their cables. It can get over tightened and pinch inner wires. Other than that nice setup. Is there a reason you didn't end up using the native's captains bridge?
Like you said can always relocate the 5 button switch later, when adding like nav or deck lights. I think it turned out great I'd be happy with it for sure.
