Total Scan Kayak Mount

[XF15-Loader]

Looking for suggestions/opinions on the best track mounted arm for the Total Scan transducer. 

 

Or, I've also seen the Berley Pro cover.  Does anyone have any experience with the Berley Pro on anything besides a Hobie?

 

And..go! 

 

Thanks,

Get a Switchblade and be done with it.

@J Francho Nice!  Looks like the ducer mounts right up.  

 

Obviously you have some knowledge on the topic.  So, let me ask you a question...when you're pulling in to land, do you lift the arm?  

 

I'm only asking because I can't visualize how far forward the ducer will be.  It seems like if it's out of my paddle stroke it will be pretty far forward and I'm not sure I can reach it.  

 

Thanks,

I have the previous gen Yakattack arm.  Yes, I do lift it when launching and pulling out.  It's close enough to reach easily, but isn't in the way of my paddle stroke.

 

You can see it here, still deployed.

Nice rig!!  Thanks for the info.  Now I might have to do a little very late fall fishing...lol.

 

Thanks again!!
