Having difficulties mounting your transducer on your kayak?
Is it just us or has kayak fishing really grown more in popularity these days? And for very good reasons.. Kayak fishing is less expensive than the motorized counterparts.
Also, fishing on a kayak allows you to fish in shallow waters and get to those hard to reach locations. This does not however excuse you from using a fish finder; as a matter of fact you increase your chances of finding a fish with a good fish finder and transducer.
When mounting a transducer on a kayak, you need to make sure that it’s mounted properly in order to get accurate results.
There are different ways of installing a transducer on your kayak. There are some kayaks that have a scupper recess designed to cater to various transducer models.
However, we’ve also found out that some kayaks also have a separate transducer kit for specific transducer models.
These mounting kits will sit inside the recess for the transducer to work. If you’re not quite sure, best to check the manufacturer of your kayak if they produce such kits for your specific transducer models.
And when following instruction manuals don’t work, you can turn to popular Kayak Fishing forums! One of our faves would have to be KayakFishingNZ.co.nz (kudos by the way on the new look!). Here you can ask for help from other kayak fishermen and get in the know on the latest on kayak fishing.
