Hobie Cat Forums

I already have an Elite5 DSI that I have mounted on my PA12. My idea is just to get another set of wires/transducer and install it on my 2012 TI.

My question is, I really like the thruhull grommet kit that came with my PA12. I wanted to install them just in front of the rear aka crossbar. I cannot use the through deck cable seal from west because the Lowrance lock cap is 3/4" wide.

Does anyone have any other experience with this? Can I just order a couple of these and install them on my TI? How would I go about getting them?

Thanks!

Jay

Jay--did you ever figure this out? I have to do a proper through deck fitting for my AI. I have been lazy and just snaking the cord through my forward hatch. Yesterday I was halibut fishing in some challenging conditions and ended up with a gallon or 2 of water in the hull so it's past time I did a proper install.

Jeez, sorry I missed this tsquared. Was at a fishing tournament in the louisiana swamp all weekend with the TI and 1 ama/aka/haka kit. Worked better than expected in skinny water.

I did get this sorted. I ended up shooting the tranducer through the hull and it still gives me accurate water temps and the same gorgeous DSI images I was getting in the PA.

Your local dealer can get the Hobie thru-hull plugs and a set of rubber plug inserts. Fair price also for how clean they are. I think I paid <$20 for 2 plugs and a rubber kit. Part #'s below:

THRU HULL PLUG - Hobie # 86505611
RUBBER ADAPTER PLUGS - Hobie # 86505701

You can have a look at them here. http://sunjammers.com/kayak-gear/kayak-parts/hobie/mirage-pro-angleer-12/lowrance-ready.html

I can snap a few pics of my install if you'd like.

Thanks Jay--I should be good with what you've given me.
Tight lines,

Sorry to drag up an old thread but looking for ideas for my Adventure. I was under the impression that the dsi transducer had to be in the water?
