  • Sonar pulses from a fishfinder will fire straight through a plastic or fiberglass kayak hull as long as there's no air between the transducer bottom and the kayak hull. I use a foam well like this but I just fill it with water instead. For those using glue, take care to avoid trapping bubbles in there.

  • I know that this is an old video.. but you DONT have to make a hole in the kayak? that would be great!!

  • ok..so the transducer goes right in the hull!?! the only thing you wont get is water temp but the rest will work, depth fish and drop offs and all?? if yes i will be getting a portable sonar

  • You can get foam at Michaels or craft store. Cut with drywall saw, works great.

  • GREAT IDEA! THANK YOU!

  • Capt.Dick

    I followed your instructions exactly the way you said and it works perfectly and it even picks up the water temperature.Thank You again for your expert advice:) 5-11-2011

  • Lexel is a super clear adhesive calk ,it takes 2-4 days to cure " Harden" and 1-2 weeks to completely cure and costs about 8 or 9 dollars a tube. True Value hardware store sells it or you can get it at a home depot or lowes. I hope what capt dick says is true because I did exactly what he said to do yesterday 4-11-2011 I'll keep you posted on the results.

  • From what I heard the transducer is supposed to be submerged into the

    water in order to pickup wave differences/vibrations. What is lexcell, probably your market I'm assuming.

  • @ouird

    Lexel

  • what is lexcell? (im unsure if i spelt it correctly)
