Mounting sounder in kayak

Ryan_H · #1 10-03-2015, 05:41 AM

Okay so basically I bought a Lowrance elite 4x chirp for my kayak. I have mounted the transducer and head unit and have an idea of how and where

to run cables after watching some videos. In the videos you drill an 1 inch hole to where ever you want to run the cables. And they have cable caps but I can not for the life of me find anywhere to buy these cable caps that mount into the hole. Does any have a better method or know where to find these.... Cheers

You can use these as deck gland covers. Just put some silicone in them and your away otherwise some closed cell foam and screw it down.

If your just generally fishing from your Yak I couldnt see much issue with water ingress through these with foam in them around the cables other than silicone.
