Thread: Da'ducer apparatus® 360 Install

​​I have been wanting the Humminbird 360 for at least a year. I fish a deep, fairly clear water lake, and had been thinking that there would be a benefit of not driving over brush piles to mark the pile with a buoy. As an added bonus I wouldn't be splashing marker buoys close to the pile. I could just use the 360 to find the brush pile and watch it on the FF while I fished it.

At first I wanted the Transom Mount 360, until I talked to a friend, RDJJ here on the forum, that had already been using the Bow 360. RDJJ had some good arguments for why I would want it (360) at the bow. That put a crimp in my plan, as I had it all figured out how to mount it on the transom!

I had seen and followed RNVINC's Da'ducer apparatus and knew that he was working on a mount for the 360.
Sent him a PM and he said he (RNVINC) needed a tester, if I was willing. Of course I was willing!!!

Received the Da'ducer apparatus® 360 in from USPS, it was packed really well, all of the parts came and were in the package, it was logical, and well thought out piece of equipment. Looked good also!!

RNVINC and I had talked about the quick disconnect mount for the Da'ducer apparatus®360 also and he had included it in the package. I figured if I needed to take it off it would be worth the money.

It took approximately 1 hour to mount the 360 with RNVINC's Da'ducer apparatus®360. 90% of that time was spent running new dedicated wires for the 360, installing the switch for the 360 and pulling the ethernet cable.

Another thing that I hadn't really thought of was that on the top of the Da'ducer apparatus®360 , is the perfect place to mount my GPS puck! So now my GPS is exactly over my transducer (360).

The Da'ducer apparatus®360 instructions were concise and easy to follow.

So far I have been really impressed with the 360, and the Da'ducer apparatus®360!! I have fished it about 12 times or so since installation.
Only regret is I wish I had done this 6 months ago.

Here is a link to the info on the Da'ducer apparatus,

Here are a few pics of my setup.
