Will do, thanks for the links.

I need to rethink my battery ideas. I was thinking a 12 volt 9ah battery would work fine. I just read the Helix 10 G2N Mega draws 2.7 amps!

Thanks! ... I probably could DIY-it, but I think if I wait, Berley Pro will have a functional mount that will work (and will likely be a cleaner install). They have one for Lowrance's TotalScan transducer. Most folks give it (the mount) a favorable review. I was very close to purchasing one of Lowrance's Elite units and then Hummingbird released the Helix G2N's... As long as I'm behind the mirage drive (pedal drive), I shouldn't have to mount the transducer lower than the fins on the pedals right? Just lower than the hull?

I've been shopping for my first fish finder, ever. I finally decided on the Hummingbird Helix 10 Mega SI G2N. Berley Pro will have a mount at some point that will allow me to put the transducer in the Lowrance Ready cavity on the bottom of the kayak (Hobie Pro Angler 14). However, it isn't available at this time. I think my next best option will be to use an arm deployment off the side of the kayak for the transducer. Are there any special considerations when mounting this way or any reasons why I shouldn't use this method?

Wayne, in your opinion, does the Mega Imaging set Hummingbird's side scan above Lowrance's TotalScan? ... I know this is my first post, but I'm a LONG time lurker and I'm very close to purchasing a fish finder.
