Video: Fish Finder Install | Kayak Fishing Machine http://kayakfishingmachine.com/video-fish-finder-install/#comment-24 kevin smith Sun, 09 Sep 2007 22:39:47 +0000 http://kayakfishingmachine.com/video-fish-finder-install/#comment-24 I mounted my transducer on a pole that can be raised out of water for landing, etc and thus is also removable with the unit. A side advantage one can play with aiming the sonic signals direction. Some what out in front is good, you see what u are comming up to not what you have passed over. Then used a battery pack from a 12v power tool -anyone will give more than enough power for weeks of fishing without recharging. Made plug-in to fishfinder power line. I put it in a ziplock bag on the water, as salt( where I fish) and batteries do not get along well. I have used RC - planes/boats etc 12v power supplies, much smaller footprint and much lighter. That time I velcroed the battery to the back of the unit. Just does not last as long. But still many days of fishing between having to recharge. A very compact removable unit. best, Kevin I mounted my transducer on a pole that can be raised out of water for landing, etc and thus is also removable with the unit.
