The old Eagle fishfinder in the kayak is finally going to be replaced with an newer model. I started to get bad water temperature readings; -4\u00b0F and the sonar was way off, so I knew something was wrong. Because of the poor readings, I was guessing that the transducer or the transducer wiring was bad. Since I had to replace all the wiring, I might as well spend a hundred bucks and get a whole new unit. I ripped out the old transducer and wiring, sure enough, it looks like the wire to the transducer has gone bad.<\/p>\n

I got a new fishfinder; a Lowrance Elite-3x<\/a>. I don’t believe in expensive fishfinders on a kayak and the Elite-3x fits the bill, it’s about $100. I’m a little worried about Lowrance customer service, they don’t respond to customer inquires or emails. Hope nothing goes wrong with the fishfinder. With customer service concerns, no way would I buy a $500 GPS\/Sonar from them, $100 is all I’m willing to risk.<\/p>\n

Everything is installed and we are waiting for adhesive to cure before we can get the kayak in the water to test the installation. We used Lexel<\/a> to glue the transducer to the hull of the kayak, it takes at least a week to cure properly. We are updating the Fishfinder Installation page<\/a> on the watermanatwork.com<\/strong> website<\/a> with new photos and information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
