Installed a Native Watercraft anchor trolley last week. And had a couple free hours after work today. So I installed some YakAttack GearTrac and some Ram FF mounts.  I drilled holes a hair smaller than the diameter of the screws supplied with the geartrac. The trac seems to be rock solid and it should be water tight.  The ram transducer arm is a huge improvement from my inside the hulll mount I had in the old pescador. Now I can read that oh so important water temperature! More to come

I've got to do the same thing, yours looks great!
Do you think the transducer will affect your paddling and tracking?

Brady Pretty sure it is out of the way of my stroke and don't think it will effect the tracking. Will let you know after the NTKT Tourney

I was tempted to do that one instead of the liberator arm. It looks good!

Nice man. I'm about to install my FF thru-hull on my Pescador. Shoulda just bought your old boat! Even the same color! Haha. I'm not too worried about water temp. I mean, the temperature is the temperature, it's not like I can paddle a mile across the lake and get into different temperatures? I guess I'm not experienced enough at fishing to know how to utilize temperature readings to alter my fishing strategy.  Boat is looking good though buddy! One thing someone else pointed out on someone else's set-up is you might have to watch the transducer when moving something like a wind chute up to the front of the boat. Shouldn't be a big deal though.

Yeah Thats a good point. I have another geartrac rail i need to install on the other side. I will prob move the FF to that side.

Installed the 2nd gear trac and moved the FF over. Have the wires temporally going through the opening of the center hatch.
