Fitting Garmin fishfinder

I got the garmin 140 fishfinder two years ago so when I say it has stud the test of time I’m not lying I found the 3.3” x 3.3” screen to be ample for my use and when you run it off a 12volt 4.2 ah battery I can use it for a good two days fishing . It also has a night light so you use it when you go out at night

as for fitting it to my kayak that was easy there were only one 24mm hole and three small holes for the backing plate
And a good lump of silicone to stick the transducer down to the hull

Put a good lump of silicone in the bottom of hull place the transducer in the silicone
And hold it there with some weight and leave to go off.

Place backing plate on your kayak where you want it fit it and mark the three holes to fit it down then make a 24mm hole just above the backing plate this is for the transducer plug to pass through them get your self a rubber grommet to seal around the wire after the plug has been pass through the hole the place the backing plate on and fix down job done
