Hello:
After a long interesting and informative discussion on my previous topic:
http://www.texaskayakfisherman.com/foru ... 3&t=150797
I decided to go the route of power, transducer and display next to each other approach. I also used a variety of Scotty mounts and accessories to make them removable, changeable and reachable. Take a look at my pics. Let me know what you all think. Wont be able to test it til next weekend. Will let you know how it goes...
Basically I created a custom dashboard in which I had already mounted my handheld GPS and flush rod holders. I added a standard scotty mount in the middle. Using extentions I brought the display forward, used another one to deploy the transducer (used a Madfrog TDA arm) and used the other side for my rod. I can also eliminate the extention arm and mount the display directly to the dashboard. Cables are wrapped on the extention and I can remove it all if need be. I bungee'd the power box to the scotty base. I also added the spring modification to the neck of the display as seen on this topic: http://www.texaskayakfisherman.com/foru ... y#p1527624
Good fishing....
