No I ordered the Hook1 Stickers with some other stuff I ordered at www.kayakfisginggear.com , They did throw in a couple extra though. Hook1 sells the STS and mariner-kayaks sells it as well. Just playing with it in the garage it helps with noise allot, and feels good on your feet!

Your Ride looks awesome! I picked up my camo 135 today.
I went with one of the Liberator arms over the Ram arm. How flexible is it? I was under the impression you had to loosen a screw to raise the transducer up.
Also, are you mounting your Lowrance to the Ram ball, directly on the track? I only ask because I'm trying to decide how I want to rig mine. I also got one the plug things, I think it will be very convenient, once I get up the nerve to drill that hole.

Jrob78 I am going to mount the FF directly to the 1.5" ram ball directly to the track. I think i will be able to move it around better that way. Honestly I am not impressed with the ram transducer mount. Right off the bat the transducer bracket brakes while assembling it, second i thought the arm was flexible as well. Its not, all it is, is a aluminum bar with two brackets on it and some wire loom to make it look pretty. I have a new transducer bracket on the way but i am kinda wishing i would have went the Liberator arm my self.

Cool, I think that's probably what I'm going to do too. Mike at Mariner suggested I mount the Liberator arm to the 1.5" ball post and then screw the ball on top of it. The ball will hold the arm in place and then I can mount my Ram mount to the ball. That way everything is together, as one piece. I will try it that way and if I don't like it, I will probably go the cutting board route and make a base to mount everything to.

I like that idea. If all else fails i will just get the liberator arm and do something similar.
Thanks everyone one! I love the color of the boat! I will get a few more pics up when I get the anchor trolley installed. I bought a basic trolley and I am starting to wish I would have went with the Hobie kit instead. I may end up going that route but I want to get it on the water and double check were the water line is with the boat loaded.
Txwhitacre- Thanks for the great videos you do! That is were i got the idea for the power plug for the FF.
