Magnetic Transducer Mount for a Fish Finder

By Chris Henderson

I tried something new with a magnetic transducer mount. It worked awesome. People might find it useful. It allows you mount your transducer without drilling or having something annoying at your feet (the duct seal method).

Now I can move my fish finder from one kayak to another quickly, and without any problem.

Enjoy,

S4 kayak updates – rigging it for offshore fishing

By Terry Wilkison

Hawaii

The weather has been uncooperative for fishing lately so I’ve been working on some projects. Pretty happy with them and its nice that they don’t take long.

I’m off to the mainland for a month but excited to fish when I get back in late April.

I’m not a fan of cutting holes in a boat. I use 3M 5200 Marine Adhesive Sealant and roughen and clean the surfaces. It gives a good watertight bond for about a year, then I just redo it. I try to be mindful of stress points “hard edges” so to speak.

I’m going to glass over the mdf on the transom and braces at some point for extra protection, and I’ve placed a fish bag on order that should fit perfectly.
