@@PaulMalovFishing unfortunately I doubt I’ll get one let alone have one installed before bemm haha. I might have a sticky beak at yours afterwards though if I can though :)
How did you like the AT box mounted to the inside of the bucket? Did you leave it there or switch it over to a mounting plate on the sail mast after a while? I like the idea of mounting it to the bucket but have a plate on order.
Thanks Cheng! If you are in Australia please call Chris on Chris at Gfab Engineering - 0429 411 222 or find Gfab engineering on Instagram/Facebook and message there and say you saw the video and whether you need one for kayak or boat (length of pole). Thanks!
Finally the video I was afrer. 2 questions, 1-does it interfere with side scan transducer under the kayak? 2-what is that pole you are using? Thanks loads :)
Hey Sam, no interference with the side scan as you’re running AT on full screen not split screen - and from a physical perspective of the pole/bottom of the yak, no issues there either. The pole is from Gfab Engineering in Melbourne, Vic, Australia. Chris makes a very high quality product
Hi mate , can I ask what battery you used for running the live scope ? and would it have to be a separate battery to the sounds ? Any info would be great appreciated 👍
Hi mate, just running a 50AH FPV-Power lithium for both the head unit and the AT on the yak. Running a 75aH of the same for the AT and Live16 on the boat up the front
Hey Mate, I am considering doing this to my outback I have a FS9 I will be using. How did you find this unit with the AT? I see you have a HDS in some future videos.
Thanks mate! I’ve chosen to keep them attached on the kayak and one dedicated one for the boat as the pins and module are quite fine and fiddly and if you unplug/plug back in you risk damaging them.
@@PaulMalovFishing I brought the eco-worthy 12v50Ah, It's the cheapest lithium battery I could find in Belgium. Half the price of al the rest, I hope I'm not in for a surprise. :-)
By plugging the live scope into existing display unit, do you lose the original transducer or do you swap out cables or have both plugged into it and change the transducer type?
Hey there! You can have both plugged in and just select from the Home Screen what you’d like to view, no need to unplug anything! It’s all coming in via the Ethernet cable from the AT module into the Elite FS unit.
Hey Ian, thanks mate! We didn’t end up doing that on the kayak but on the boat, we do have an in line switch for the module box at the console. On the kayak, I hit stop sonar on the AT screen when the transducer is out of the water.
Hey James. I think there’s a small element of it on most live units that’s I’ve seen, not just this brand, you getting good clean power to the module box? Is it being shared with many other devices/systems on the boat?

@@PaulMalovFishing, I have the power ran through the Yakpower system. I have it ran on channel 2 so I am able to turn the power off on it if not using it.
Haven’t had an issue where it’s gone flat yet, from memory at least 9-10hrs at full brightness for a HDS9 Live and active target both running off the 50
Super clean Install and a quality finish, especially on a hobie where space is everything. Just don't crunch it at the poles 😝 well done lads 👏
Haha knowing my luck… 🤦🏼♂️
Thanks Paul I think this video may have just convinced me to pull the trigger on the active target lol
Hahah sorry (not sorry!) let’s see if it’s handy at Bemm!

Hey mate. Sorry for the late reply. Still have mine mounted in the tub in the front hatch and no issues.
Hello, great set up.. wher can I get a transducer pole mount like yours.

@@PaulMalovFishing great, many thanks. Need to find the pole in the UK then :)
Looks nice! Did you have to ground the sonar module? Thanks!
Hi mate. Sorry for the delayed response. No, no need to ground the module
@@PaulMalovFishing Good to know, thanks!

Nice work, is it easily removable to put on the boat, or do you need a second one?
Thanks mate! I’ve chosen to keep them attached on the kayak and one dedicated one for the boat as the pins and module are quite fine and fiddly and if you unplug/plug back in you risk damaging them.
Nice job,
What kind of battery do you use? Total Amp is 3,5, I guess?
Hi mate, I use a 50Ah Fpv-Power lithium. Yes draw is around 3.5ah
@@PaulMalovFishing Thks man!

Sick set up bro. It's nice to have a boat. But having a pa14 is already a boat that basically don't need gas!. And can go in circles haha
Thanks brother! Haha love that 360 circle work! Love the yak

What brand is the kayak ?
Hi there. This is a Hobie kayak
Hi Guys. Awesome setup. How do you turn the active target off while not using it on the water? Do you run the power through a manual in~line switch?
Hey Ian, thanks mate! We didn’t end up doing that on the kayak but on the boat, we do have an in line switch for the module box at the console.
On the kayak, I hit stop sonar on the AT screen when the transducer is out of the water.
I get bad feedback in mine, it's like a pulsating line in the screen. Anyone have an idea what is going on?

How long can you run the active target on that 50Ah FPV battery?
Haven’t had an issue where it’s gone flat yet, from memory at least 9-10hrs at full brightness for a HDS9 Live and active target both running off the 50
Can I buy one of these arms if I don't have Instagram or Facebook? Is there a website? Thanks!
Hi mate yes you can. If you’re in Australia give him a call - the number is in the description of this video
