New FF mount for Slayer Propel

So I used to have my display and transducer mounted on the side of my kayak all in one unit.  I decided to make it more streamlined. 

After looking at a few hard to find pics on the internet I decided to mount to transducer on the splash guard which clears the kayak by about an inch when I lift the drive out of the water. The top of the propel drive has a drilled and tapped mounting hole in it from the factory which is a standard 1/4-20 size.  I just used a 1" stainless screw with a lock washer to attach my FF quick release mount.  Currently I have the wires zip tied to the drive but I will be replacing those with Velcro straps for quick removal of the transducer and head unit tonight.

I used the Hobie brand thru hull adapters which are pretty nice except they are really easy to strip out so be careful.

The first pic isn't my kayak but its how I originally had my FF mounted.

I like it! I have reconsidered shooting through the hull and will go back to my original plan of mounting on the splash guard. The only hang up I have is what to do with the extra transducer cable while still making it easy to remove the drive for transport if need be. I've seen folks coil it all up and stuff in a bag tied to the drive. I just don't want crap all over the place.

Use the Velcro for the wires and wing nuts on the actual transducer for quick removal then shove everything other than the head unit into the access hatch along with all the wires.

Or if you're up for it just cut the wires and splice quick connectors where the thru hull adapters come out. The only thing I don't like about that is its just one more connection to get corroded. 

Looking at a few other FF installs I kinda wish I would have installed the thru hull adapters on the square access plate....something to think about.

Kinda like the pic I attached...
