Disappointing Kayak Transducer Mount

As a passionate fisherman, I was excited to try out this mounting solution. However, electronics should be waterproof or resistant, and this is not the case with this product. As a result of using this product, I found that my transducer got damaged on my first fishing trip. The mount didn't live up to my expectations and failed to provide the protection my electronics equipment needed.

Pros
  • Easy to install with basic kayak tools.
Cons
  • Not waterproof resulting in damaged electronics.

Not compatible with fish finders and depth finders

The mounting plate is square and the kayak has a radius. Therefore, the stove does not fit in the space provided for it. I had to cut the corners of the panel to fit it. This is a fundamental design flaw that any junior engineer would notice.

Pros
  • Compatible with Perception Kayak models: Pescador Pro 100 and 120, Pilot 120, Outlaw 11.5, Crank 10
Cons
  • Some disadvantages
