Kayak fish finder.

[Sandhillcrab]

I wanna put a fish finder in my FeelFree moken 12.5, you guys would know a lot more about good depth/fish finders. Is there any good ones on the market for under 300 that you would recommend? And ware is a good stop to put it?

The best spot is to get the Uni Bar and have it right in front of you which I'm probably gonna do on my Lure 11.5. You can also mount it on the left or right track with a Uni Track accessory mounting plate. I would recommend Ram Mount for the particular  FF you will get, that way you can articulate it in what ever position you want, and you can pair it with the Ram transducer arm or Railblaza transducer arm. Now for a FF look into the Humminbird Helix 5 series. I have the Humminbird Helix 5 SI unit, that's out of your price range, but the price drops with lesser features. Hope this helps.

Can't help on the kayak rigging other than if you can do thru hull i would do that as it is easier to use and no worries about the whole arm deal off the side.  I had a arm on one of my older kayaks and i hated it.

As far as FF goes, i will also recommend the Helix units.  I have a 5 SI which is out of your price range but the models without SI are in your range.  The ease of use is a definite plus for me as is the screen size.

I own a Lure 11.5 and have a Lowrance Elite 4-HDI mounted on it. I use a scupper mount for the transducer, running the cable into the hull through a 1 1/8" automotive grommet. The display sits on a rail accessory mount. I had a battery in a small Pelican case with a waterproof disconnect, kept in the front hatch.  The battery quit after a year, so now I use a battery from my Milwaukee 12V power tools, which lasts a couple of all-day trips.

Hope this helps.

Pretty much what dogbone said.

On my lure 11.5 i have a lowrance elite 3 with lowrance scupper hole mount.  I then have display mounted on left track with wires running behind foot rest and into center console compartment where I store the 12v battery. 
No drilling...just plug and play
