    Great Video! Just wish you would have shown the mounting of the transducer.

    Bud I love the video and the detail of your methods only complaint is no PFD!! I know you probably can swim but safety 1st especially if your son is with you kids learn from example just don’t want anything to happen to you so we can keep enjoying these videos!

      THANKS for the reply! One question...I couldn't find the power meter you installed with the 12V and USB jacks. Not even sure what to call it and you said you got it on Amazon. What is it called and who makes it? I want one! THANKS again!

    Great video, TJ. Probably one of the better install vids I have seen. I'm upgrading to a new yak in the next month or so and will have to do an install on it. My old yak was rigged when I bought it (used) so I haven't done one yet. Bravo Zulu on a great step by step without over complicating it. Cheers.

    Thanks for describing how you mounted the transducer in one of your responses. I think I’m going for a Hook2 for my new sea ghost 130. I’ll have to check out your battery video.

  • @DocJay0406
    @DocJay0406 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thanks for the tutorial! Just wanted to know if you could post pics or a vid showing how you mounted the transducer. I have a Perception Outlaw and it has a pocket underneath the yak and I think it’s for the transducer.

  • @richardpeebles8492
    @richardpeebles8492 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I would love to see a follow-up video after you have used the Lowrance for a few months. What do you like? What do you wish was different or better? How well can you see the screen in bright sunlight? Great video, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    Just a few hopefully helpful comments for the grp the transducer screws are the same size as the one on the tie down beside the transducer hole. Also if you plug into your 5 way splitter and your gauges don't work or your hook doesn't work first check them directly hooked up to the battery if they work that way change the wires on one of them and try that seems the 5 way is not always correct some of the plugs are backwards. So adjust your plugins accordinly

      I love it! The Hook2 series is very easy to use and very customizable. I am not sponsored by them in any way at all. I just like the ease of use and how well dialed in I can get them. I just added the Hook2 12 to the bow of my bass boat. Great Finder!! Thanks for watching guys and I hope this helps! 🤙🏼🎣🇺🇸

  • @johnstrand2247
    @johnstrand2247 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have two of these hook2 on my Bass boat and an Elite Chirp on my Native kayak. The Elite is just as good. What I have found on the Hook2 is that a lot of the arches that folks claim are fish, might not be.
    The Hook transducer near the motor shows a whole lot more arches with the motor running. Lowrance claims motor interference yet I have a factory mounted system on a brand new Tournament Tracker boat, where Tracker mounts all of them for the least noise. If interference looks just like fish, I'd call that a design problem.

    Ran across you yesterday at the sister watershed to the one you're on in this vid...Hillabee Reservoir. Very impressed with your attitude. You and your crew are the real deals! Enjoyed meeting you. Unfortunately when I went to eat my luncheon ham biscuit it had icicles on it. I fled early and on the way out I saw ya'll out there paddling happily along shooting video near the dam. I would have waved but I think my hand was frostbitten. Ouch! Ha!
    God bless and keep up your GREAT work!

    • @KayakUSA1
      @KayakUSA1  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks so much for the kind words! It was very nice meeting you! We froze out there too lol, but we did catch a couple out by the damn. I'll definitely be going back to Hillabee very soon! I'm editing yesterday's video as we speak.
      Thanks again and God bless 👍🏼

    T.J., Thanks for a really great video; I also subscribed to your channel. I'm a life-long (71 years) Fisherman and Boater; I just got my 1st Kayak (Vibe Sea Ghost 110). I'm getting the same Lowrance Hook2 5 inch with GPS so this video helped a lot. I do have a question. Did your transducer mount right up to the pre-drilled holes in the transducer cavity (on the bottom of the boat) or did you have to get a separate mount for it and were you able to put the screen back on (the bottom of the Kayak) without a problem. Thanks for your time and effort in making this video and for your answers to my questions.

    • @KayakUSA1
      @KayakUSA1  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's awesome buddy! Congrats on the new Sea Ghost! Yes i was able to use the taped holes that are already under the screen, you will need to get you some screws that are the correct thread, i just happened to have 2 in my junk draw on my toolbox. Yes, the screen went back on with no issues and it works great! Thanks for watching my videos and for the support, make sure you subscribe, i plan to have several more kayak mod/DIY videos for my sea ghost. thanks again

  • @ryanrestle1
    @ryanrestle1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Quick question....I am going to power my finder through the cigarette lighter port.....where would I put the in line fuse????

    • @KayakUSA1
      @KayakUSA1  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ryan Liberty , Normally I would put the inline fuse on the actual fish finder wire but if you are only going to use the port for your finder, I would put it behind the port. That way it's a cleaner look and the fuse is a bit more water proof in the hull. Hope this helps 👍 Thanks for watching!

    Hi TJ, is your 5 way adapter just hanging off of your dry box or do you have it mounted some how?

    You're coming up on two years with the Hook2. How did it perform that first summer? Are you still using it? Would you still recommend this finder or recommend another? I'm Looking at fish finders for my kayak. Great vid.

      I still love it man! As a matter of fact I just put the Hook2 12 on my bass boat. The Hook2 series is so easy to use and you can really customize it. Definitely go with the Hook2, you will love it. Thanks for watching! 🤙🏼🎣🇺🇸

    Correct me if I'm wrong. You can by same model but with out the gps and sd card slot for like 230.00?

    • @KayakUSA1
      @KayakUSA1  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe they do sell one without gps, I’m not sure on the price though, sounds about right. But the gps comes in handy when you are floating a long creek and you need to know where the bridges and take spots are.🤙🏼

    Do you use an inline fuse or do you just use another 2 way adapter like shown in the battery box setup and hook it up to the 5 way?

    • @KayakUSA1
      @KayakUSA1  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I try to use an online fuse on each thing I have connected.🤙🏼

    Great video!! I just picked up my sea ghost 130 last weekend and can’t wait to get it on the water. I do have a question though, what do you do with your fish finder when transporting your kayak? Do you unplug your wiring and remove it? Thanks for your help! And keep them great videos coming.

    • @KayakUSA1
      @KayakUSA1  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      joe gonzales , Thanks Joe! Yes I just unplug my two wires from the back of the Lowrance and slide it right out of the gear track. I have a small padded box I transport the fish finder in. I also reach into the front hatch and pull the two wires that are going through the Hobie plug. Just pull them until they are against the boat, that way they are not flipping around outside the Yak when you are hauling it. 👍🏼

    Do you have the tranducer in the water pointed down or how'd you mount it?

    • @KayakUSA1
      @KayakUSA1  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s mounted in the transducer pocket built into the bottom of the Vibe 🤙🏼

    • @KayakUSA1
      @KayakUSA1  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks bud, No, They make a Hook2 5 "Splitshot" and a "Trippleshot" the Trippleshot also has side imagine but the transducer is very long so make sure it fits where you want to put it before you get it.🤙🏼

    Is your link for the mount including the whole ram mount which mounts into the trac system or just the ball?

  • @danmidkiff5416
    @danmidkiff5416 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When you installed the transducer in the space on the bottom of the boat, did you use the thick plastic cover (with holes through it) to hold the transducer in place? And, did it work well for you? Or, did it interfere with the operation?
    Thank you, Sir!

    • @KayakUSA1
      @KayakUSA1  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes , after you mount the transducer in the pocket you’ll put the plate back on. It doesn’t interfere at all. 👍🏼🎣
