Hey guys simple question here. Will the Lowrance elite 5 HDI unit work thru hull? I'm actually putting it on a hobie kayak which is already Lowrance ready with only a plastic plate that the transducer would have to read through. Thoughts?

Yes, if installed properly you don't need a puck to shoot through that, but you can exchange. Won't pick up temp, though! hobie Forum question

I didn't see how the piece of it worked until I did the search. I was thinking about only a hole in the bottom of the hill with a plastic insert, not something below the surface like a shelf. If the plastic piece is open to the water, my statement is withdrawn. Installation wouldn't even require silicon.

How will it have water contact thru hull? Or is there just a special plate on bottom to mount to?
