Ok, I was dying to get a new down imaging unit and put it on the kayak...but I didnt want to run wires through the hull or put goop or glue inside the kayak and wanted a TRUELY portable rig. Hence this was the end product.
Pelican style case with 12v lead acid and a cigarette lighter adapter to charge/power whatever (overkill I know but I figured why not).
Here it is open and you can see the excess wire bundles with velcro and the batter held in place with velcro.
The mount for the yak is just a velcro strap through the scupper...simple ain't it?
No job is complete without something from harbor freight! And for the days the the old jon boat gets taken out.
Everything is truely portable and can go from boat to boat and yak to yak. It works amazingly well. Could even carry it and walk the docks with the transducer on a pvc rod if you wanted to. Anyhow, thought I would share.
