Got a new 'ICE HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G2' at Christmas this year. Loved using it on the ice but also would like to use it on my kayak. My old flasher was a Humminbird Ice35 and i had used it a couple times on my kayak. Just looped the transducer through the kayak handle and let it float out in front of the kayak. It worked ok..... as long as i was sitting completely still. Start paddling and the float leans over and you loose an accurate reading. I would like to get a better reading while in motion but keep the accuracy of the flasher so i can see real time vertical presentations in deeper water when i do sit still.
Is there some DIY holder i can make and just use the Ice Float transducer i have....... or do i just need to get a different transducer and mount to use for the kayak? I have looked up DIY Transducer Mounts, but all of them look like a completely different shape transducer than the cone looking transducer and float i have for the Helix Ice system. If i do need to get a new transducer, i have no clue what i need. Thanks for any help!
