How to Install Helix 5 and Transducer Mounting Plate - Jon Boat DIY

John installs a transducer mounting plate and a Humminbird Helix 5 onto his 1979 14’ aluminum Mirrocraft boat.
This video demonstrates how to DIY install a transducer mounting plate to avoid drilling multiple holes in the back of a boat. John installs the plate and seals it with silicone.

Once the transducer mounting plate is in place, John demonstrates how to install and set up a Humminbird Helix 5 onto his Jon Boat.

This was our first time installing a Fish Finder like this, so let us know in the comments if you’d do anything differently!
