YakAttack Fish Finder Mount with - Review

If you love kayak fishing, then you know how important it is to have a reliable fish finder on board. But finding the optimal position to mount the fish finder on your kayak can be challenging. The YakAttack Fish Finder Mount offers an excellent solution to this problem. It provides a secure and adjustable fish finder mounting system that attaches to your kayak via YakAttack's patented LockNLoad mounting system. I tested this product and here's what I found.

Installation:

Installing the YakAttack Fish Finder Mount was quite simple, thanks to the provided hardware. I attached the mount to the kayak GearTrac using the LockNLoad system, and it was effortless. I also noticed that the mount comes with an additional rubber gasket to use for thinner tracks, which is a thoughtful inclusion by the manufacturer. Once the mount was attached, I screwed my Garmin Striker 4 fish finder onto the round base of the mount using the factory screws. I was delighted to see that the mount has a built-in three-hole pattern that perfectly matches the Striker 4 and other 3-hole pattern round based fish finders. I could now adjust the angle and height of the fish finder by tightening or loosening the screws.

Functionality:

Once the fish finder was mounted, I took my kayak out for a spin to test it out on the water. I was pleased to discover that the YakAttack Fish Finder Mount provided excellent stability for my fish finder. There were no shakes, slips, or rotation during my testing, ensuring that the fish finder remained perfectly oriented so that I could see the fish and structures below. Moreover, it didn't wobble or vibrate even when I was paddling at higher speeds through choppy waters. The mount's LockNLoad system secures the fish finder firmly into place, preventing it from moving even when there are bumps or knocks on the water.

Compatibility:

The YakAttack Fish Finder Mount is versatile and works with a variety of kayak brands, including most factory-installed kayak track systems. For example, my kayak has a GearTrac system, and the mount attached to it flawlessly. It's compatible with an array of fish finders, including Garmin and Raymarine models, which feature the 3 hole pattern round base. It's versatile enough that it could fit other GPS units and cameras as well.

Design:

The YakAttack Fish Finder Mount is designed to offer functionality, durability, and versatility. The anodized aluminum construction makes it almost unbreakable, a valuable feature given that kayaks can experience hard collisions. The mount's sleek and low-profile design fits perfectly with the kayak and doesn't disturb the kayak's overall aesthetics. One minor let down is that the Gear-Trac is sold separately, which is a small but important note to keep in mind.

Conclusion:

Overall, I was impressed with the YakAttack Fish Finder Mount. The LockNLoad mounting system is an excellent innovation, offering a secure, adjustable, and versatile fish finder mounting solution that is long-lasting and brings style to a kayak. The mount's design is sleek and doesn't affect the kayak's aesthetics. The mount is fully adjustable, stable, and compatible with a range of fish finders and kayak track systems. While the Gear-Trac is sold separately, once it is installed, the mount is incredibly easy to attach and use. With an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars, based on 2457 reviews, it's clear that many other fishing enthusiasts agree with my assessment of this product.
