Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 Fishing Kayak | Fish Finder Installation

The new Mirage Passport 12 has a built-in transducer mount on the underside of the hull, making it easy for fish finder installations. This detailed video walks through the installation of a skimmer style transducer using the factory-installed transducer mounting plate.
All fish finder installations on this kayak require a Fish Finder Fit kit for Passport 12 (PN 72026217) and a Hobie Fish Finder Power kit (PN 72020145 Lithium Power kit, PN 72020070 Lead Acid Power Kit)
Lowrance TotalScan installation requires Passport 12 SideScan Plate Kit (PN 77800048).
Lowrance TripleShot installation requires Passport 12 TripleShot Mount Kit (PN 72026219).

That music brought a tear to my eye.

I don’t own a hobie, but watched this either way. 😅

[@qwasuae]

So do I.

[@Garcia_Familia_Adventures]

@@qwasuae I own one now. 🤣🤙🏼

[@garybeckwith9045]

I would be nice if you did this install with the stock hull minus the hatches you installed. I'm not going that dedicated.

[@Mikelodeon72]

Where can I find the wiring kit only. Have my battery already

[@gregmerrill8644]

Does the same video & step by steps apply to a fish finder install for the Mirage 10.5?

[@stevee1361]

Is there a video for the passport 12 r? The hole for the transducer is different.

[@sickvick8236]

Is there a certain cover plate for a mirage passport 12.0 I am trying to install a Garman stryker vivid SV transducer and it doesn’t seem to fit

[@ginesdemula631]

Any coming video explaining how is best to install the Hobie anchor trolley system on this kayak? Thanks in advance..

Where do I find the metal adapter plate for the tripple shot

Sonho de muito caiaqueiro no Brasil um caiaque desse porte

[@thatshowyoutravel]

are these Hobie fishfinder installation kit universal? or is there a specific type for a hobie mirage passport?

[@DRILLINGZ45]

I’m using a Lowrance Hook 2-4x what kit do I need to get

[@antoniocarlosdeazevedo7651]

👏👏👏

[@dimitriosroutsis601]

Is the performance of the transducer affected due to the plastic cover? If yes, what is the expected drop in performance?

[@HobieOfficial]

We worked with Lowrance in designing the plates for our kayaks, very little is lost from the signal while the transducer is protected agains scapes on the ground. In the past we would glue the transducers to the inside of the hull and have them fire through the hull but the plate is much better and an easier installation.

[@dimitriosroutsis601]

@@HobieOfficial Thank you very much for the quick response. My transducer (GT20 Garmin) also supports the cleaview functionality (photographic image). Would that functionality work with the standard plate or should I use another plate?

@@marcelosilva-od3jz I mounted it at the side of my kayak using an arm mount transducer. I didn't install it in Hobie's hall.

[@Camane53]

@ about 3:30, when you're making the side hole for the transducer cables, the label states a 325lbs. This is a passport 10.5' not a 12'. My question is why?

[@HobieOfficial]

Good catch! This video was filmed using a pre-production Passport 12.0. Sometimes we use stickers we have on hand to mock up the placement of production stickers. The weight capacity of the Mirage Passport 12.0 is in fact 400 LBS / 181.44 KG. The weight capacity of the Passport 10.5 is 325 LBS / 147.42 KG

Is there a transducer plate for a Garmin Vivid striker transducer for my Mirage passport 12.0

[@Krozin]

ever get this figured out? i'm looking to get striker 4 CV in mine.

[@Drumguy48]

@@Krozin check out Navarre Kayak fishing they have a adapter for Garmin transducers.

[@Maineriverandtide]

Have to modify the plate

[@ginesdemula631]

Hi, I am the owner of a new Passport 12.0, and would like to know where to get that fishfinder extension pad to install the transducer with a Garmin model, the dual beam one. I can not find that part anywhere. Thanks in advance!

[@HobieOfficial]

Here's the kit that includes all the fish finder thru-hull fittings and extension tabs: 72026217 FISHFINDER FIT KIT PASSPORT 12

[@jacksonking7759]

Can this work for the humming bird helix 5?

[@christopherhobby8391]

I have a humminbird Piranhamax 4. I’m sure it will, everybody has there other brand name fish-finder’s. Doesn’t have to be Lowrance. Just get that Passport 12 fish finder kit.
