[cool][#0000bf]Not all V-tubes are built the same. My Super Fat Cat definitely has a back rest that is TOO LOW. I modified it by making a PVC frame to stick down on either side of the back rest, with a cross bar at the height of my upper back. Gets the job done, but the manufacturers need to address that issue.[/#0000bf]

[#0000bf]You can mount a fish finder on any model tube or toon. If you go over to the picture board, there are quite a few pics and ideas to work with. The main thing is to secure the display safely and conveniently on top. You can use PVC contraptions, strap mounts, velcro or whatever works.[/#0000bf]
[#0000bf][/#0000bf]
[#0000bf]Same for the batteries. The SLA batteries we use are sealed and will not suffer from a little moisture. However, you do not want to immerse them while hooked up to your sonar. Conductivity of water, shorting out and all that. Stow them in the back of a pocket. No need to worry about keeping them upright, like with an acid filled battery with caps.[/#0000bf]

[#0000bf]Keep looking through some of the past posts included in the Best of the Best and on the picture board. You should get a better feel for how simple it is and then develop a basic game plan. We will be happy to help you get it together.[/#0000bf]
