Finally finished rigging her up and now I just need to slime it up!



To mount my Lowrance mark 4, I went with the thru hull mount and used duct seal. I made a well for it to sit in, and will fill it with water before I push off so it will shoot through the hull. The mount used was an extra Scotty mount I had laying around




For the tracks I went with the gt90, and the rod holders were the railblaza rod holders. Pretty happy with how it turned out and I can't wait to put the rod holders to the test against some cats!

Why the well with the duct seal? The transducer will shoot through the duct seal.

That's how I saw it done on YouTube lol. And I've got more if I end up just having it shoot through it. I think it'd be more accurate if I made a well for it
