Sidescan , hmmm is the perfect size for a kayak ? 7 inches to small for sidescan ?
Not at all, I use this on my Hobie pa12 and really like it. Just sent it to my buddy who just ordered it. I think this is the best bang for the buck kayak fish finder. To me a 9" is too big for a kayak, not to mention they drain way more battery.

I've got a 9" garmin with Livescope and am looking to upgrade to a 10 or 12 as soon as I can find one on slickdeals.

How safe is the transducer.... say you fall overboard and the transducer is on ? Can you hold the transducer with your hand around it in the water while active ? Can you use it as a hand held unit (not mounted) to just scan and point it at whatever under your kayak ? I'm kinda thinking of using one of these side scan sonar from the side of the docks just to see what is down there underwater.

The transducer is completely waterproof and even if there was a short in the wire you would only feel a tickle from how little electricity is used by these units.

Transducer is just fine. Make one of my fish finders portable back in the day. My transducer floats. Still use it for randome boats, float tube and kayaks
