- Want to learn how to install and power a fish finder in your kayak?
Then check out this video where Tony from Salt Strong walks you through the steps to set up, install, and power a depth finding/fish finder in most kayaks.
If you are wondering why an inshore kayak angler would need a fish finder in a kayak, here are a few reasons:
1) You can find underwater structure with a fish finder
2) You can mark your spots so you can go back to the exact spot in the future
3) You can find your way back to the ramp or launch site in case you tend to explore like I do...
So I encourage you to give it a try. You can find fish finders pretty cheap these days and as you'll see in the video, it's not too hard to install and power up.
Any questions about fish / depth finders in a kayak?

man my left ear loves this video
Just Some Salty Boi I was wondering what was wrong with my pods..
Hahaha this made me laugh tooo fucking hard
Thank you. A clear instructive video.
Glad you found this helpful!
I just got a fishing kayak, your video was helpful, Thanks!
Nice video man. Really helped me out a lot. Thank you
Glad it helped
Thanks Tony. You are a life saver. I've been perplexed on the wire management and those wire caps look like the fix to my issue. I have a similar setup with the Lowrance Elite4 and a Duracell battery. I'm in a Ride115 so my battery mounting is a bit different. Good info there!
Mike Council no problem! Those caps were a great find to run the wires.
Great video mate, nice and simple yet incredibly helpful
You pronounce "hull" and "hole" the exact same way. I was so funny when you were saying, "Drill a hole in the hull and run the wire from one hole, through the hull into the other hole."
Nice setup for your fish finder I’m going to use the same layout as you
Great video mate! I loved that sounder it was awesome when I had it.
Very informative, does the transducer tend to drag on beaches etc?
Great details Thanks for sharing 👍🏻🎣
Fantastic set up with your fish finder. Do you find that your transducer, being lower than the hull of your yak, gets damaged from rubbing across sand etc?
Great video thanks for the tips.
Informative Video Tony, Thanks!! Question - Do you leave your transducer on the kayak during transport and launching or do you remove and re-install ? Thanks!
I know this is a old video but IF you still watch it Where did you get what you are calling Wire Caps? Can you maybe do some remake and include links to what you have used. It would be a great help to many of us who are watching your video.
Great question! Make sure to ask this over on the actual blog or in the community where the coaches spend their time. The blog can be found here: www.saltstrong.com/fishing-tip/kayak-fish-finder/
Thanks, very helpful vid
Good info. Thanks Tony.
No problem!
Question would you run lights off the same battery or would you go separate
Can I just use a suction cup for the transducer outside? I'm told to have it half in half out for no bubbles. Your thoughts ?

have you guy ever made a video on how to make a anchor pole ??
Tony, great video I just got a hook 4 for Christmas and also fish mosquito lagoon, did you have to update the maps on the sd card or just purchase new ones. Thanks again for the videos I've enjoyed Salt Strong and will look into joining the insiders club. Thanks
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Where did you buy the wire caps?
Did you ever figure that out? If you did can you please let me know
@saltstrong can you do a video on how you have the settings set for salt water. I’m having a issue getting my settings set correctly.
Great info. Thanks! Your transducer looks like it protrudes slightly below the kayak. Have you had any problems hitting it on anything or when launching or recovering your kayak? Thanks again!
Average Everyday Fisherman Show no problem! I bump it every now and then but it only takes a few bumps before you start to remember. Kinda like if you have a cut on your finger. If you hit it a few times you'll make sure not to do it again haha.
Tony Acevedo Ha! Very true. Thanks again!! --Brent
Hey bud....just recently got this same unit...ive got it all mounted ready to install my battery....but my unit didnt come with any connectors just the open wires....where do i get the connectors from?
Chris1223 go to your local hardware store. Female connectors.
Got a big fish 103 got a new fishfinder to snow not sure which connect you to put on the data transfer cables the brown and blue that are extra for data information?

Have the same Kayak. Where you installed the fish finder, how do you push the buttons to control finder, ? I know from the seat it's pretty far away. can you reach the finder ?

Can I take the fish finder off if I need to transport kayak I have to transport kayak upside down on top on truck because the bottom of kayak is not flat
How do you drain the water out now?

It’s hull not hole. But looks good.
Install fish finder for GPS? You can use your phone for that
D S some places ur cellphone won’t get signal.
My phone isn’t going to show me where the fish are.
In other words, pay someone who knows what they are doing to install it so you don't screw up your kayak...
