Title: HB 385 temp reading
Post by: fishbone on January 18, 2011, 02:17:41 PM

I plan to install a 385 on my kayak. A HB transducer kit will be used to mount inside the hull on the bottom. My question is 'how can the water temp be measured through the hull'?

You won't have "water" temperature this way...but should be close.

I know that Humminbird sells an external Temp sensor: TG W
And from the Humminbird website, should be compatible with the 385

I have one on my 778c and it works perfect.

Oh, and for my setup on my kayak, I mount the transducer on the back as you would do on a transom, but with RAM Mounts parts. So I only left a small round attachment on the kayak and take off the transducer to use on my other boats.

So I have direct contact with water.

Send my your e-mail in PM and will send you a picture of my setup.
