Hobie Guardian Transducer Plate: Lowrance Totalscan Installation

[@johnmckroidskayakfishingad2006]

Nice Video, all ways good to watch several on the same subject to catch differences, such as adding dielectric grease to connections or showing the step of unscrewing the retractable portion of the guardian plate.

i guess it's kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to stream newly released series online ?

[@trevorlouis7041]

@Tristen Magnus Flixportal :P

[@tristenmagnus9534]

@Trevor Louis thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it!

[@trevorlouis7041]

@Tristen Magnus you are welcome :)

One important step not mentioned in the video - on my 2019 Outback, the retractable portion of the Guardian is fixed in place with six screws. Those need to be removed before you attach the Guardian to the underside of the hull.

LowCountry Yaker Kayak Fishing I was losing my mind for that! I watched another video to understand what to do

[@alexdominguez4871]

Thank you . I was also losing my mind . Lol

[@walker8989]

Thanks, I was watching this vid to see if you take out all six and he skipped it.

[@Aesop101]

Howie you're a LEGEND dude

[@mattorendorff8858]

Personal observations / modifications to the video. Would mount the battery holder higher up the made to keep the battery out of any water that might make its way in (would not want an expensive LiOn battery in salt water). Would also recommend securing the excess transducer cable rather than just letting it slip around inside the hull. Common practice is to zip tie it to the mast as well.

Love the guardian retractable transducer guard. Great video - such an easy install

[@manny4491]

I wish the transducer holes were pre-drilled in the Guardian Mount! I am lazy! LOL, Great Product!

[@vitaliyraytses]

How is the plastic adapter called?

[@bryanmiears6768]

On all the fish finders that have a side scan transducer, do they need to be mounted to the outside of the guardian? I have a Humminbird Helix 7 and ordered the Hobi transducer mounting kit already

[@Oldmangonefishing]

Cant wait to get my new to me 2019 outback. Can you add a berly pro cover for the transducer for extra protection?

[@idkwhattouseforname]

I misplaced my owners packet that has the gaurd for the transducer and the rubber adaptors. Do hobie dealers sell those parts?

[@HobieOfficial]

Hobie part # 72020216 Guardian Replacement Parts Kit is what you'll need to order!

[@jborselli15]

If you don’t have the plate to mark the holes to drill what’s the best way?

[@jeffbray2131]

Would like to know what/how Hobie recommends installing an anchor trolley on the 2019 Outback. Thanks

[@marm7335]

Was grounding the wire not required? I seen vids of guys not be able to use the touch screen until grounding is done....

[@HobieOfficial]

Plugging the transducer into the head unit and power cable to battery completes the grounding loop. You may have the grounding issue if only the head unit is plugged into power when out of the water. The issue is not present when the loop is completed, nor is it present in the water.

[@aysegulkuru2481]

Teşekkürler.

[@racrx7]

What about Garmin users. Will the Guardian system work Garmin side/vue, down/vue transducers?

[@HobieOfficial]

Yes it will. It is appropriately sized for just about anything on the market. Depending on the brand, installations can vary a bit.

[@racrx7]

Hobie thank you! Waiting on my dealer to get a blue 360 PA in 😍

[@patrickcieslak7858]

Hobie looking for some vids of 2019 pa12 please.

[@mouafishing559]

How would it work with other fish diner like Garmin and hummingbird?

[@fishonkayakadventure]

same as for the lowrance. if there are mounting holes in the transducer, you bolt it to the transducer plate. otherwise, you attach the part that holds the transducer to the plate and then the transducer to that.

[@jimbeauxjimenez1850]

Do all Lowrance (Hook 2 Triple shot transducer) carry a mounting plate for the guardian installation? 1:33

[@HobieOfficial]

The TripleShot transducer mounts differently than the TotalScan shown in this video. Mounting the TripleShot doesn't require drilling holes in the Guardian's mounting plate. You will install the scooped thru-plate (found in the small parts packet included with your kayak) to the front of your Guardian, and mount the TripleShot to the vertical post inside the Guardian. You will need to use the extension tabs, also included in the small parts packet with your kayak, for mounting to the post. Please reference the 'Fish Finder Option' section of your Owner's Manual.

[@jimbeauxjimenez1850]

Am i installing the scoop plate the same as in the video?

[@HobieOfficial]

Yodaddi Jim Yes, you'll install the scooped plate just as in the video - then your TripleShot will mount through the opening in the scoop and to the the post, using the two extension tabs + transducer mounting hardware that's included with your kayak. Drawings of the TripleShot installation are in your Outback manual (pg. 23-25).

[@HussainKovic]

Can i upgrade my hobie compass lowerance redy to hobie guardian ?

[@HobieOfficial]

No, the Lowrance ready is not interchangeable with Guardian. Guardian is much larger and requires a larger cavity than the Lowrance Ready. You do have options for installing larger side imaging transducers to the Lowrance Ready plate. Please reach out to your nearest dealer for more information. www.hobie.com/dealers

[@koolhandluke5892]

Just purchased a 2018pa I guess this is not available ☹️ didn’t know the 2019 had this option when I purchased at mariner sails

[@HobieOfficial]

New for 2019 on all Hobie Pro Angler Models and on the Outback is the Guardian system that adds a retractable transducer mount to help protect side scanning transducers. You do still have options for other model kayaks and anything prior, this video covers how to mount a side scanning transducer to a Hobie without the new Guardian: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mvqKGPr65gjNU

[@7stripesfishing830]

I can’t find the elite7ti with this part number-> 72020206, it shows a rod holder in hobie.com any chance of getting help? Thank you

[@HobieOfficial]

Since this video was published, Lowrance released the Elite Ti2. The Hobie part number for the Elite 7Ti2 is 72020218. If you are using the Parts & Accessories Search Tool on Hobie.com, you can always search by description as well.

[@7stripesfishing830]

Hobie would all the rest of the items will work with this new 7ti2? Meaning the list of accessories to make this work with my 2020 outback installation? Also can I use the lowrance hook 5 totalscan ???

[@HobieOfficial]

@@7stripesfishing830 All the parts will be the same with the Elite ti2. The Hook Reveal 5 will not work with a TotalScan. TripleShot is the side imaging transducer that is compatible with Hook series fish finders. We recommend stepping up to a 7" unit for use with side scan.

[@7stripesfishing830]

Hobie my question is what system should I use to make use of my outback transducer guard? I really like that future on this kayak

[@HobieOfficial]

@@7stripesfishing830 Here's my recommendation: -Lowrance Elite 7Ti2 with ActiveImaging 3-in-1 Transducer/72020218 -RAM Lowrance Base with 1.5" socket/72023054 -RAM Mounts 1.5" Track Ball/72023059 -Hobie Fishfinder Installation Kit with Lithium Pro Power/72020145 You will use these parts in combination with the parts that come with the kayak. Transducer mounting screws can be found in the Lowrance box.
