The Kayak & Canoe Sounder & Transducer Mount has been developed for kayak anglers needing an easy way to install and remove fish finders or sounders. With this mount and the Native Watercraft Slayer 10 & 13 track system you can install and un-install your fishfinder/sounder in a matter of seconds, no messy adhesives or excessive drilling of fittings required. Suitable for all fishfinders including Lowrance, Humminbird, Raymarine & Garmin.

The transducer will be in the water giving 100% true reading rather than reading through the hull. if you need to get the transducer deeper in the water simply add an extension, if you entering shallow water the factory set friction joints will allow you to lift the transducer out of harm’s way.

The Kayak & Canoe Sounder & Transducer Mount can be completely removed with one click of the StarPort slide lock,  protecting your sounder when in transport, when using the kayak for other activities or when you need to transfer the sounder to another kayak or canoe.

The mounts needed

The following mounts are best suited and will require no drilling into your kayak or canoe. The added benefit to this system is the whole thing can be moved to either side of the kayak easily.

03-4046-11-StarPort-HD-TQ-angle-150px-150x1421-150x142 (1) SP-HD-TRACMOUNT-KIT-150 03-4014-XX_150-150x1421-150x142 STARPORT-TRACMOUNT-KIT-150-150x142

For the Sounder head unit mounted to the Rotating platform you will need a StarPort HD & StarPort HD TracMount kit. This is a completely tool less option, easily position the mount in the track. For the Transducer mount you will need a SidePort & StarPort TracMount Pack. Again easily fitted and positioned anywhere in the track.

If you find the transducer needs more length to get deeper in the water, in particular if you’re using side imaging and need to shoot clear of the hull you can simply add extensions as required. Look at any of these options for extensions. Small increments use the Swivel Port, for longer increments use either the fixed StarPort Extender or Adjustable StarPort extender.
