" Tom, I mounted mine in roughly the same place. I drilled a small hole through the hull behind my mount and installed a screw together waterproof connector from an electrical store. The one I used was a bit on the bigger side but unscrews to…"

Mike Zilkowsky replied to Bill Sikora's discussion One Hole Paddle Keeper Install!
"Looks good. I am not a huge fan of the paddle keepers as they are not overly friendly to a one hand operation. I installed a Scotty Paddle Clip on both sides of my boat just below the keepers. I can now lock them into place or have them ready for…"

Mike Zilkowsky replied to Tavin Holman's discussion Tarpon 100
"I have no idea what the other bungee is for as well. I have the Trapon 120 and it still confuses me to this day. Ashley is right about securing the seat to the eyelets, but actual use baffles me. Works great for holding a roll to support your knees…"

"I have an Eagle and mounted my transducer through hull as well. I actually mounted mine in a sealed box full of water to get a more accurate temperature. But I know first hand that Marine Goop, Vaseline and marine grease all work. The Hummingbird…"
