In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

I've done a few dozen of these boards and one thing I noticed that may impact the quality of your readings at high speeds (particularly when mounting a larger SI transducer) is turbulence. The bottom of the board should be in line with the hull. Leaving it up a little above may be OK for some transducers, but that "step up" will create turbulence - so if you line up the bottom of the board with the hull, then run a bead of silicone between the two to make it smooth - your results will be best. Also - I personally don't mind 2 holes through the board into the hull (with silicone in the holes prior to sinking screws of course) - it seems more solid compared to any adhesive. After all - it's only 2 holes and that's it forever. You can still move your transducer, upgrade it or whatever as you are screwing into the board and never again into the hull. Finally - the leading edge of the transducer should be 1/16th or so LOWER than the hull then the back tipped down ever so slightly - this seems to provide the best results for many transducers. Good video - keep up the good work.

[@jeffenglishsetter8339]

Quick tip for ensuring level...pick two rivets on the port and starboard that are the same distance from the bottom on each side. Tape a line across the top of them...now use that as your reference for level. That combo square is assuming everything on that trailer is square. Load up cockeyed and so will your square.

[@befrankpls]

Hello from Goa India. Sorry to say, that I lost my transducer after a period of 4 months glued to my fibre glass boat. I believe that due to ageing and vibration the wood left the body of the transom. The transducer would have dangled and saved, had I screwed on all the wire clip, instead of gluing them too.the wire harness got pulled into the propellor. In my opinion once bitten twice shy, I will see that I will use screws and bolts provided by hummingbird. Please note that I did not glue the previous lost transducer on seeing your video, ( I had already lost it past 4 year ago)so no ill feelings to this video uploader

[@davidferrari4264]

Nice upgrade! went without a trolling motor for a few years myself ,wanted to advance my trolling skills anyway ,it did not disappoint

[@Bait2Bend]

Awesome boat and upgrade! Have a blast with the family. Congrats.

[@tommyliu4683]

I sold my kayak for the same reason.. Bought and restoring a 14' Scout CC. I'm super excited to get it on the water.

[@Charactermatters650]

Enjoy your vids - on this one though - go to cabella’s - stern saver on sale 30 bucks (including epoxy and everything you need) - mini stern saver 20 bucks - again everything you need - it is polyethelene to aluminum or fiberglass I believe - no drilling as well - I am guessing marine epoxy

[@benniemccoy1086]

How has that transducer mount help up??

[@jrgenrasmussen8840]

Good tip. I used tec 7 or No more nails water proof and a circle of that plastic 😀 tree years ago it still works fine

[@equinoxfishingteam5837]

Great video!!!! The only recommendation, I have is; try to keep the transducer cable 90* degrees straight, but I really learn a great idea from you Dude... Great concept...

[@ES-zx6zj]

DO NOT DO THIS! Watch his "NO DRILL TRANSDUCER MOUNT - THE RIGHT WAY!" video (on this channel)..

[@pppaulie73]

Not saying the transducer shouldn't be level, but once you are in the boat the weight distribution will not be equal, especially if you fish by yourself a lot like me. When you're at the console the boat will lean slightly right. Then factor in how the weight in your boat is distributed, if the water has any ripple or even 1 foot waves and you see my point. I'm not singling your video, all the videos I see on this say to level it. Of course I'm going to level mine just out of principle, but I'm not sure just how critical this is even if you were a few degrees off level. Maybe some others can comment. Good video.

[@steveking8548]

I remember crossing the line and drilling into my boat the first time. After enough drilling in enough boats, I finally got over it and don't hesitate to drill when necessary now. I would be more worried about all paint that would be torn off when removing the plate than having 2 or 3 little holes from a transducer.

[@fishhunt9874]

To figure out where to mount the transducer take your boat out for a run. Have someone else steer the boat as you look over the transom. Look at where your transom meets the water and look for the cleanest lane. Mark the cleanest lane with a sharpie then mount your transducer there, no guessing.

[@J.WannaFish]

How's the transducer mount held up after a few months now?

[@HecklerusPrime]

Not well. Check out his follow-up video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6LXd5quqLedmdU

Not the 3M stuff, but the other Silicon, always make sure it's rated as NEUTRAL curing, otherwise it will eat your alloy out.

[@garrettmendes1118]

Wonder if it be better to take peice of steel run down the back with L bend at top so you can bolt it to bump rail and gives you place to secure your wire and if you get creative you could make your rod adjustable

[@gewglesux]

Blades on the prop move Counter clockwise right?

[@dougshaffer715]

That 3M 5200 is never coming off!! good stuff

[@Cerus98]

Off the boat probably not. But it won’t stick to starboard. Nothing sticks to it. Best way to adhere it is to make some beveled holes in the back. So the hole is wider the deeper it goes and wedges it on.

[@MrErikwade]

Cerus98 exactly what I’m thinking... it won’t last...starboard likes nothing....it may hold for a while or it may not....

[@Cerus98]

MrErikwade - Yep. Would rather put a couple holes to hold it on. If you think you might have trouble getting the position perfect or want to upgrade a glued and screwed piece of starboard is great. Too many people are squeamish about putting holes in their boat.

[@rafg2857]

3m 5200 is no shit goo stuff. Word of advice if you use this technique, use the 5200 to dress past divets from prior installations. this will avold air pockets and a swollen transom down the road. Good Job!

[@BornAgainCynic0086]

The 1 thing I have never seen is how deep in the water must the transducer be? Must it hang below the line of the hull?

[@jbgray1960]

Im not using a gas motor just a trolling motor. There's a 116 acre lake where I live. So I'll be using your video. Thnx !!

[@1OFGODSOWN]

I can see the transducer getting pulled out of that material when you hit an object under the water.Mine gets tilted up quite often from hitting objects and it is mounted to my boat.Then you will be looking for a way to remove that piece of stuff and getting all of that glue off before drilling holes and mounting it properly. Just my honest opinion.

[@mauricebrown9094]

Just watched your Everett spoon video, Just what I have been looking for, for taking overseas. When will you be getting the packs back in stock ?? Love the spoon colors. Thank you ..

[@landoncrafton8548]

Just watched your video. Will this work on a fiber glass hull boat?

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

Landon Crafton yes it will

[@johnbrown4448]

Polycraft plastic ?

[@pimpshack81]

So your boat is aluminum Right?? The 5200 is stuck and no issues? I’m about to install a depth finder on mine but I want to really know it’s going to hold

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

pimpshack81 yes it’s aluminum. I can shake my hole boat if I grab that block I glued on... it’s not comin off lol

[@pimpshack81]

Sweet .. thank you sir.. keep those vids coming 🤘🤘

[@paperchazin]

5200 works but it is not an adhesive it is a great sealant with good adhesive properties, your best bet it to use marine epoxy.

[@donaldbusby2665]

@@paperchazin look on line they have a magnetic one to hold the transducer now drilling just stick and go!

[@Cerus98]

5200 will not stick to starboard (HDPE). The only thing holding that on is the caulking. Nothing sticks to starboard. Best way to adhere it is either with screws or by making some beveled holes in the back. Wider the deeper they go which essentially wedges or locks it in place.

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

Cerus98 idk.. seems to work fine. I shook the whole boat by grabbing the board before calling around it.

[@Cerus98]

Maine Trout Whisperer - It’ll hold for a while but will eventually fail and let go.

[@pimpshack81]

Man I don’t know what I did wrong but after 7 days of 5200 on my transom it was still soft... soft enough I just twisted the block off and scraped the rest off with a putty knife ... I used Locktite marine and 24 hours later installed my transducer ... I wasted money on 5200.... not sure what the issue was but it’s installed now🤨🤨😀

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

pimpshack81 that’s weird. After I installed this.. the next day it was dry. I could shake the whole boat with the block.

[@pimpshack81]

Maine Trout Whisperer I think the difference was I bought the caulk tube and it was a 7 day cure time... event though I let it sit for 7 days I think the fast cure is a better Adhesive ... I even roughed it up with sandpaper and it was just a tacky gooey blob... but I have it mounted and can’t wait to go out and test it... first time ever using a fish/depth finder... any suggestions ?

[@jeffenglishsetter8339]

@@pimpshack81 you must have gotten a bad batch. I've never had an issue with 5200. Prep the surface with an alcohol pad and never an issue.

[@pimpshack81]

Jeff Trek I did that. Also scuffed the area up with sand paper.. I bought the 7 day cure time in a caulk tube.. it sat for 7 days and was still just like it came out of the tube... so I took it off and used the lock tight marine epoxy .. that worked great

How has this held up? No worries about it coming off?

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

Jeff Yund so far so good, but I’ll know better after this season

[@Mikeyfix]

I would like to run my fish finder on my ski doo ( ice fishing) just for the GPS maps, what do I do with the transducer unplug it or leave it plugged in

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

Unplug it

[@Mikeyfix]

Thanx for replying. If I put a transducer on my trolling motor I have to shut off the head when it's up and out off the water

[@plukowski]

Noticed your 40 hp Yamaha, I going to re power my 16 footer and was thinking a 40HP because of price. I don't need speed but don't want to dog it either how does the 40HP push you boat? Thanks

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

Goes great. Will top about a little over 30mph

[@prepostmansms9356]

I tried this but I may have gotten the wrong 5200. It was the slow cure 7 day variety. Waited 7 days and it was still wet enough to slide right off. Now I am frustrated 😞

[@marknunez2351]

how is the adhesive holding up? I'm thinking about doing the same.

What if you WANT to take it off?

[@whittaker691]

Steve King haha

[@1961fireguy]

You could shorten those bunk boards so they don't extend beyond the back of the boat. They don't need to be that long.

[@richardmajewski4104]

You would have more of the boat hull on the bunks if they were positioned further towards the front. Where that bunk board goes past the boat would seem like a nice location for the transducer.

[@totalannihilation9065]

Is it safe to leave the transducer outdoors when not in use?

[@ChrisBeardsley]

Yes. I live in the North East US, boat stored outdoors all seasons including winter

[@bayardtaylor2990]

What was that plastic board called

[@cliftonquinn]

Starboard

Maine Trout Whisperer not really a canoe guy so I will take your experience with them on a river setting as equal to or better than the kayak. Just bummed you won’t be giving anymore kayak tips, they have been useful! Will continue to watch the vids though. Enjoy the trout tips as well.

[@davidkoba]

5200 doesn't bond to plastics well, you would need more of a silicone for that. Also even that would pull away after a while.

First time pulling boat onto trailer - broken transducer. Bad spot for it

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

Jay Wack it’s been great so far.. it doesn’t stick down enough to catch the bunk.

[@1998conquest21]

When we developed the Stern Saver product, I tested 5200 on one of our prototypes and it fell off almost immediately, and before any other adhesive we tested. And that was used on our blocks with the threaded pockets in the back, not smooth StarBoard. 5200 will not reliably hold your transducer to your hull. That's why we ended up going with the highest grade marine epoxy available instead. This is the reason our mounting system is the only one trusted by the vast majority of boat owners out there, and why it's the only one large retailers trust.

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

Scott Johnson thanks for the info. But I would like folks to know Ive had this on my boat since this video with no issues.

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

Scott Johnson what is the product called? I can try to recommend if for folks here??

[@williamriley2528]

Transducer as shown is too high relative to the bottom of the boat...

too low would create a rooster tail spray you want it skipping the water line doesn,'t need to be even in the water its not a side scan...looks great.
