One of the great benefits of quickly progressing fish finder and GPS technology is that it is creating more compact and powerful displays that can be used on all sizes of boats, kayaks or PWCs. The need for a large fish finder head units is now an option instead of a necessity. And, selecting the right fish finder mount for your kayak has many great options as well.
The options for compact fish finding technology are quickly growing. Larger household names like Lowrance and Raymarine are now offering WiFi capabilities built in to their head units and smaller companies such as Vexilar and Fish Hunter have come out with compact fish finders that offer similar features. As a way of making the fish finders even more compact, some manufacturers are choosing to do away with the display and utilize tablets or cell phones as the display screen.
Waterproof and secure mounts are all the more crucial when mounting those phones and tablets. One of the best way to keep your new, multi-function fish finder screen safe and secure is the RAM® X-Grip™.
