Default kayak fishfinder

mounted my new fishfinder in my kayak. it's humminbird 798ci si. it has 2d sonar, chartplotter and side image/down image on 5" screen. 3 presets for favorite screen configurations, carousel menu for the rest. $750 for the FF, 170 for the gold chart.

i mounted the xducer inside the hull. i dammed off a little area in the bow with plexiglas (held in place by electrical duct seal), filled with water and the x-ducer sits in the puddle.

i did a little testing and it seems to be working ok. i have range set on 68' but it can go out to 150 ea side.
