Utilizing the new Torqeedo Ultralight Kayak Mount here is images of Rick W’s upgrade install. Rick was previously using the Torqeeod Ultralight 403 Ball mount system. Since his 2014 Big Rig has the four molded in inserts at the stern designed to accept the Power Pole Micro anchoring system the installation was done with ease.

Rick’s Install Notes:

“Once I figured out how I wanted to secure, it was pretty straight forward. I used 1.5 inch screws in front holes and secured the level with locknut underneath. Sets correct heights and makes mount very stable. Second set of holes was 1.25 inch screws, no need for nut as the mount rests on the hull in very back. Perfect fit with single washer on top. As far as steering, I dropped the triangle a bit and let the connectors run under the mount. Seems to work perfect and stays clear of the mount, even with complete turn radius. I use foot turning, installed with initial setup a few years back. Tremendous improvement over the arm and am ready for the water.”

Nice work Rick! Looks Great!

The Jackson Big Rig FD/HD is a unique install as its transducer ready scupper is located in the center of the deck between the hull and the pod. At Delaware Paddlesports we used thru hullHobie Thru Hull 3 Way Plug Kit""“> Hobie Thru Hull 3 Way Plug Kit. Drilling through the deck is not always the best option but in this case the only option. These unique fittings are gasketed waterproof and are the cleanest way to install on the Big Rig HD FD.

Utilizing the Lowrance 000-10606-001 Kayak Scupper Mount for Skimmer Type Transducers you can avoid many issues with a cap and bungee system. This scupper mounting system can accept many other brand transducers also. Although it is set for older model transducers it can be modified to work with the latest skmmer transducers from Lowrance.

Also for the Lowrance display head unit I used a Hobie Thru Hull 3 Way Plug Kit. Water tight and clean!
