[/quote] If you're going to go the route of getting the cheap ones from China, provided you have spares you could just grab one of the unused shells and fill it with marine goop (leaving room fo the mating pins) then plug that in when you're transporting. This should work pretty much the same as the...

Hi guys, regarding waterproof connectors etc. At the moment, I car-top my kayak hull side up on my roof racks. About 200ml of water gets into my hull after I go for a paddle. If was to leave some cabling that had waterproof connectors such as this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/5-Set-2-Cord-Automotive-...

Anyone got a link to the deep cycle one?

That 12Mah SLA should last me 9 hours. I'm interested to see how much a deep cycle would also.

Not keen on LiPO atm.. just want this sounder to work.

I tried blue block batteries but completely nuffed it up and wasted like $60

Can anyone recommend a battery for elite ti 5s. I want it to last like 5 hours or so. I have an elite ti 7 and have had success with the 18ah SLA battery sold by Jaycar. It's the same brand as the 9ah one sold by Hobie and roughly the same price (though you'll need to add the connector yourself and...

Hey guys! I have had my Elite Ti5 sounder for months now.. and I have tried to wire it up using blue block batteries. I've had it working a few times, but it keeps dying and super frustrating! SO.. I am wondering if anyone out there can give me a hand wiring it. I am in Glen Waverley, and happy to d...

Thanks Shane. If I bought that battery, how long do you think it will last on my Elite Ti 5? This is some of its power info: Power Consumption: 12 W (0.9 A @ 13 vDC) Power Supply (Supply Voltage): 12 vDC (10-17 vDC min-max) Also, does it use the same connecting plug as the blue battery block cable? ...

I'd say the issue is that your blue block li-ion is actually only delivering around 2400mAh. I've got similar and have tested and from memory that's about what it delivers. I would treat all ebay claims of mAh with a grain of salt. Yoyu have a coupld of alternatives: 1. Use multiple smaller batteri...

Hi guys, Havent had a chance to redo the wiring just yet, but I am curious to see whats going on. I have a 4800mah Li On Battery. The sounder (Lowrance Elite Ti 5) is 12 watts.. and with a 12volt battery, therefore is drawing 1 ah an hour. So, technically my battery should last 4.8 hours? Is my math...

It's usually a fulty connection somewhere that does that. Check through everything, use a voltmeter and move cables around until you find what turns it off. Is it possible that the battery is too weak? As I have switched the battery in and off and it restarts sometimes. Also I'd I change battery it...
