I recently purchased a Hook2 5” and I’m looking for the best way to install FF and battery. Is the hobie install kit the way to go? Is the rear hatch a better option? If rear option, what did you use to hold battery? I want it to mount onto my H rail. Besides a 1” ram ball, what else will I need? Thanks in advance! |

Sounds like you have a Pro Angler...The Hobie install kits are definitely the way to go and include everything you need to wire up and power a fish finder and mount your battery. You will need a couple additional components for mounting the head unit (see below). As far as battery placement, there's a couple options: either mount the battery holder to the sail mast receiver or rest the battery holder in the lip of an 8" round hatch. On the Pro Angler I recommend mounting to the sail mast. We offer the Lowrance Ready installation kits with both a lithium battery and a sealed gel cell battery. Here's what you'll need to wire up and mount the whole system: 72020070 Lowrance Ready Fish Finder Install kit w/gel cell OR 72020145 Lowrance Ready Install kit w/ lithium 72023053 RAM Lowrance Base 1" 84620101 H-Rail RAM Ball 1" 72020207 Lowrance Ready TotalScan Mounting Plate *If you plan to mount a 7" or larger screen, I'd recommend going with a 1.5" H-Rail RAM ball (part 84620151) and 1.5" Lowrance Base (part 72023054) |

Thank you for the detailed response! Yes, it is a PA14. What’s the main differences between the lithium battery and sealed gel battery? |
