Here's how I put my fish finder into the Bonafide dry pod. Like any DIY, I hit a few snags along the way, but I think I'm going to like it.

Enjoyed the video. Good install. The one thing I appreciated about the video was when you showed the transducer installed on the kayak after the putting together. Oftentimes vids will show the install but fall short of what the transducer looks like in the service mode. Good job.

It never goes perfectly. At least not for me. You did a great job. The coolest part about having a kayak is doing your own modifications that suit your needs just right. It's pretty awesome.

Did you ever have any issues with the transducer mount screws? Just put mine in and wondering if I should swap out for a nut/bolt or add a plastic backing plate for reinforcement.

Good stuff man that’s pretty much exactly what I did for mine too. I need to also get an extra dry pod for when I don’t feel like taking the fish finder.

I wish they weren't so expensive. Most of the time when I fish my local lake, I don't take the graph, and it will be nice to have that other pod to put crap in, and more importantly plug the hole.

Great video! I’m going to do the exact install so your video is perfect. Question: Why use the after-market mount for the unit rather than the factory mount?

Thanks! Only because it has a couple of pivot points, and I had it lying around.

What size drill bit for the transducer mount

I don't recall, but slightly smaller than the screws. I wanted them to go in tightly to keep water out.

Pretty cool but I would have put a rail on top of the pod so you can put your fish finder on a Scotty mount

So it's removable? I have an extra dry pod with nothing mounted, for times when I don't want the fish finder.

@@RhinoVenturesOutdoors lol. Ok ok. Lol. It's cool. But with a Scotty mount you can adjust the finder and you can remove just the finder when your not going to use it.. Lol. Your way is fine for you. It's ok.

Do you feel using the standard mount allowed the transducer to be low enough to get the proper side imaging?
@RhinoVenturesOutdoors
4 жыл бұрын
This unit doesn't have side imaging, only down imaging. It's low enough for that to work pretty well.

Excellent DIY video. Thanks. Question. Do you have any videos on pros or cons of having electronics on a kayak? Also, never ever used any kind of finder. Maybe a video suggestion for you if you don’t already have one....How to read and use the fish finder. Obviously just a suggestion. It’s your channel. Thanks for keeping vids coming! I don’t use social media or I’d share the heck out of you. Lol

Trust me, I am not good at reading the graph, could use some pointers myself. I would not be the guy to try and teach anything about tuning one. I like seeing the depth, bottom, temp, etc. One con is when I take it along, I spend too much time looking at it rather than fishing.
@williamhower3636

Ok no problem. I think I'll want one mainly for depth and temp too. I'm sure I can find something online, just wanted to check with you first.

Ehh... I’ll just stick to my transducer arm and gear track. I’d rather use that pod for storage.
