Lowrance Hook2 tripleshot kayak mounting?

Hey everyone! I recently purchased a Wilderness Systems Atak 140 kayak and was wondering if I could mount a Lowrance tripleshot on it. Any help would be appreciated because I'm clueless.

I'm sure you can figure out a way to do it. You might need an arm mount over the side or you can make  DIY scupper mount. The problem with the side scan transducer is it must be mounted below the entire hull of the kayak. The transducer is a full 12" (long and skinny) which is another obstacle.

After looking around the web it looks like the FlexPod is good for transducers up to 6" long. The tripleshot transducer will not work with the FlexPod.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Do you know of any brands with that 6" length? I don't know how I would find that out.

Looks like the Humminbird Helix series with SI will work for the wilderness FlexPod. The side imaging may not be perfect unless you do some further modifications to get the transducer to sit lower in the water.

 

Here is a video of a humminbird helix with side imaging mounted on a wilderness FlexPod.
