i believe the humminbird HD DI works good as a shoot-through, but the SI transducer needs an unoibstructed image so it must be in the water...you are talking about the humminbird right? |

I have a Humminbird 798si (side imaging) fish finder installed on my PA using Madfrog's sideboards and transducer deployment arm. When I launch I snap my mirage drive in then swing the TDA over the side near and off I go. The only issue I have had is forgetting to pull of the arm when I head towards the beach. Its very resilient but you don't want to ground it on a concrete boat ramp with the arm down. http://www.madfroggear.com/specialtyboa ... oards.html It doesn't show the deployment arm on the site but the side boards are pre-drilled for the the arm and I really like the extra mounting space I get with the new side boards. |

Yes it is a hummingbird my last kayak ocean trident the transducer was mounted threw the scupper would the view still be obstructed for the down/side scan |

I have the 598ci HD DI Combo. I was thinking of hanging my ducer off the back. I am going to take a thin piece of aluminum and install it under the stern rail and bolt the ducer to it. My friend has a similar setup on his Ride 135 and has no issues. https://picasaweb.google.com/1034393126 ... 0564926594 |

I think the DI has to be in the water based on my calls to Humminbird. Have you tried this? I have it through hull on my Tarpon right not and it isn't working that good. |

If that does not work, I am going to install a 4in Gear Trac on the Stren Rail and try that. I am trying not to drill anything because I am hoping Humminbird will come out with a scupper mount transducer for DI like the Lowrance. |

I did a through hull mount (temporary) on my pro angler last weekend. Hooked up a 597hd di combo and got very good imaging. I am going to side mount this weekend and see if there is any measurable difference. |

They are $25.00 and postage is $8.00 standard mail. www.slhobie.com.au |

It looks like a nice way to route the wire but wouldn't that allow water to enter the kayak? |

These guys say that it will not leak. The said put some silicon on it and that it actually rides higher out of the water than you would think. I have one headed my way. I will post a full review when I get it all hooked up after the holidays. |

They mentioned something like them being nylon? |
