I am buying another kayak (Hobie outback) and plan on getting another fish finder for the 2nd kayak. I am looking at the humminbird 597ci HD combo with down imaging. Is there a better fish finder for under $600?

Can a transom mount shoot through a kayak if I install it inside?

I found them for $579.95 shipped.


Thanks,

Keith

Good news, I went through with it and got that 587 ci DI combo gps unit! I looked at the one from the site mentioned below and it had the 3.5 inch screen, which is what my FF has now and I think its a tad small.

Bad news, I think the only love I will get for the next month or so will be from Palmala and here 5 sisters ....

Well I ended up getting the 788 HD DI Combo. I really wanted to put the transducer inside the kayak but the quality was crap. I tried it in three different places and non of them work well at all. So I mounted it on a mad frog gear arm to deploy it into the water. Here is a picture of the test run since I mounted on the outside.
