Cut the yellow end off and attach that to you finder cable. Real easy I got it done and I have no experience with electrical. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01337R4C8/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_i_B5T2BB9WCPV660HE17E6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbocco Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Good idea! 😏 And that by the way weights barely 1lb and can be attached easily to your kayak with 2 sided Velcro. That tiny battery runs my fishfinder for days without needing a charge. Amazon also has cheaper lithium batteries now. More traditional looking with typical 12v attachments so you don’t need to modify the cord. They cost a bit more and are a bit heavier but still reasonable.

genec Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Thanks to both of you. I have been looking at the lithium batteries on Amazon, and wondering if they were suitable. Had some lower back problems this past weekend, and am on muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories right now, but when this clears up will be going to the family farm to get my yak out of winter storage, then buying the sonar to get it equipped for the summer.

Tyler0420 Posted April 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Heading out now. Don’t know where I’ll end up but first stop is south shore Lake Ontario. Heard 3-4ft rollers so if that’s the case might fish Jordan for catts or head to dunnville for catts or the mouth of the river for whatever will bite.

You "may" be able to launch at the Cons.Park since they 'might' be open on such a fine day . I'm not sure what's going on at the Bailey bridge , last trip they had 21st Street closed down with local traffic only . You may be able to launch there ... The park officially opens next week .

Side note anyone good with boat motors, inherited an 3.0 cobra inboard outboard that doesn’t want to turn over. Not a mechanic by any means but I did try a few things and nothing doing. Might be going to scrap if I can’t figure it out without dumping a ton of money into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchie Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 First day on my boat yesterday was surprised at what I caught on Lake Erie, I would have thought I would have caught that trout on Lake Ontario more than Lake Erie, but it was alot of fun and a great fighter. caught on Leadcore 8 colours straight out the back, black and purple Ripplin Refin. 50 fow, straight out from Sugarloaf.

Tyler0420 Posted April 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Made it to 55fow out of Jordan. It’s hard to say 2km maybe. I was out 2.5 hours traveling 2-2.8mph and this was the circle I did. DNorton, Davidp16 and Bubba14 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the New York State record is from Lake Erie not Ontario as most would assume NiagaraRiverFisher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
