[@MYNAMEISNUMBER2]

[@manfredstrappen7491]

Finally a Salty Garmin install. Pretty much how I was going to mount mine. Nice to know it’s a clear path.

[@matthewb9107]

You just saved the day Nick!! I have a 120 with a Lowrance triple shot transducer and was running out of options for mounting. Putting order in now!! Keep up videos 🤙

[@jamessickle9688]

Please provide me a list of the seal system information and the ball to handrail setup pieces used

[@mlangfordoutdoor]

Thanks for the demo on that install

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@adamdowning3892]

Definitely going to be going the scalper hole mount route, great video thanks man 🤙🏼

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

It works well. Thanks for watching.

[@Danxiong]

Welcome back! Great vid as always!

[@normalman23]

Thank you.

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@jelly_fishing]

Nice install - nice walk through - nice use of the caulking gun

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

The caulking gun for the win!

[@dennisjagoda9375]

Is there a reason why the hole for the transducer cable was drilled on the port side and exited on the starboard side? Was something beneath the deck in the way?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

There was no particular reason. I’m not sure why I went that direction other than it’s where I was standing.

[@928johnralph]

Nick, one complaint. You actually need two sets of the Hobie three hole kit that you like to. It only comes with one hole cover

[@normalman23]

Yakattack's come with 2

[@charlesharris6404]

What kind of fasteners do they use on the cable? And how do they work the one that gowls into the rudder for steering

[@bpm2k]

Great vid Nick - do you know if there are any other transducers that can do side/downscan that will fit in that location for the Salty? Lowrance doesn't seem to.

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Im a big fan of Garmin. The Echomap 73SV series will fit on the Salty.

[@dylankelley2651]

You rock dude

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@jasonoldenburg9011]

Great video Nick, I see the value of having the screen closer to you, does it interfere with paddling in shallow water?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I like to mount it on the ram system so I can swivel it out of the way if needed - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqTbYXeae9qBadE

[@mrb401]

Hey Nick, which would be the correct scupper mount for a Helix 7 mega SI transducer? It would be going onto a Salty. Thanks

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

You would need the “Humminbird” version. Mention you need the salty topper in the note section at checkout and we will make sure you receive it.

[@morenothing4u]

Can you provide a link to your ball mount setup for the fish finder display? I plan on getting the 93SV.

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

This video has the information required (it’s for a 1” ball though you may want to pump up to a 1.5” ball setup for the 9” screen) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqTbYXeae9qBadE

[@morenothing4u]

@@NavarreKayakFishing Do you know what outrigger setup people have been using for the ball mount setup?

[@TimHaunFishing]

"small and less complicated means it has less ways to break" I wish more engineers understood this. Looking at you Volkswagen Auto Group XD

[@jameseason9949]

Nick, could you make a gear track that fits the Salty, going from the back screw to the middle one outside the tankwell in the back? Could be used to mount a flag, your anchor pin solution, etc. Would it be reliable cutting across that back corner?

[@Backlashed]

So Guess you need to use a thu hull with screws like Yak Attack since you cant reach the inside of the kayak, like you would need for a Hobie or Wilderness thu hull install

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Hobie makes a three way thru hull that works perfect and is the one I prefer.

[@timmoss7553]

Do you leash your monitor down or just rely on the inch/inch and half ball and cables?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I’ve never leashed it.

[@thegoose2708]

What size bit did you use for the pilot holes?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I don’t recall off hand. I would use something about half the size of the screw you are using.

[@Kayak_Googan]

Good Video! Where's the Dielectric grease?! =)

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

It’s been on those terminals for a long time. Zero chance I ever put a kayak in the water without it.

[@Kayak_Googan]

@@NavarreKayakFishing excellent advice. Wish I knew about it from day 1!

[@warefisher]

Thank you Nick! I have the same kayak and the same Garmin unit with the GT-51. I will watch this video many times and follow your advice and techniques. I have your scupper mount system but do I need to order a different one for the large transducer? I believe that’s what you indicated. I’ll probably mount on the port side hand grip as I’m a lefty caster and want to keep the starboard side free and clear. There’s no issue with the rudder steering control, right? I should be forward of that area? You keep all plastic cutouts and the drill shavings? Have you ever had to use them for repairs of any kind? Thanks again. Very timely for me.

[@manny4491]

Great Job! I live in New Orleans and I am planning on getting a Big Water for Lake Pontchartrain! The lake gets rough fast with waves 1 - 4 feet high "Close Together!" in fishable conditions! I weigh 250#. Do you think the Big Water is the way to go? Thanks!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Manny, the BigWater does fantastic in large waves and heavy chop. It will serve you well.

[@matswane]

Awesome video and product Nick. My order is in :) What transducer scupper hole item are you working with in this video? Is that part of the Scupper Transducer Mount - Garmin?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I did use the “Garmin” version of the scupper mount on the install. Thanks for watching and ordering. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@matswane]

@@NavarreKayakFishing thanks for replying. Lol. I think in the last month I pretty much bought 90% of your store items for Sportsman Salty. Great products thanks!

[@jacobwessel2897]

where is your transducer on the kayak?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Under the front in the transducer area.

[@jacobwessel2897]

@@NavarreKayakFishing that"s what i thought I just couldn't tell because it was a little dark

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I need to work on lighting the garage a bit better!

[@jedediyahaaronyisrael7118]

Does drilling a hole in the kayak void the warranty?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

It doesn’t void the warranty. If you drill a hole somewhere that causes an issue they won’t warranty it though.

[@jedediyahaaronyisrael7118]

@@NavarreKayakFishing Good to know. Thank you.

[@ThisTall]

My bar in striker Vivd 4cv says “12-20v”I would love to use one of my 12ah M18 tool batteries. Does anyone know if this is possible without harming the unit? Everyone on line seem to be using only 12v batteries.
