It’s the Swiss army knives of portable power bank devices. It can power and charge all of your devices, start your car, and even save your life in the outdoors!Please note that this model can be used for both Petrol and Diesel engines.

Included with the unit
HISTORY of Jetski Fish Finders.
Firstly when I say Fish Finder I actually mean Fish Finder / Sonar GPS Chart Plotter, or whatever you may call your particular Marine Electronics device. A "Fish Finder" as we will call it from now is probably not on the list of a "Must Haves" when you first purchase your Jetski or at least you are probably thinking that you have to purchase the lowest cost you can get away with as it probably will not make much difference anyway. You could not be further from the truth! From my own personal experience once you have a fish finder and it is taken away it will be like driving a car down a dark road with no lights. Yes its that important to me. Actually more important to me is the Chart Plotter as you can always ask a mate to supply you some GPS marks. The different types of fish you target may demand a better quality, or different type of fish finder, but more of that later.
When purchasing a new Fish Finder beyond 2025 these are a few of the questions to ask yourself......
Screen size. Is it important? Yes it definitely is important. The bigger the better, however a 7 inch is perfect. A 5 inch unit was OK until the new landscape format units came out and now 7 inch is the one to go for as long as your budget allows. A few guys have fitted 9 inch units and they are amazing, however you must reinforce the mounting point on your Jetski.
Do you need a Map Card? Units now come with a basic GPS to get you to your favourite fishing spot and back again. For some people that's OK. The benefit of course is that you do not have a door to open to access a memory card which could take in water. We do of course have a Fish Finder Cover to solve that issue Check them out here..... Flexible Covers If you do choose not to have a Map Card to be honest you would be missing out on so much! No transferring of Waypoints quickly. No back up of your Waypoints & Trails. No Map detail like 1 ft contours. NO area maps to find reefs and drop offs quickly.
Should I buy a Map Card...Yes that's my answer. Its like buying a TV with no programs and making your own content. No thanks I want to fish! The newer cards now have 1ft contours that gives you incredible reef details so you can do more fishing. Give me a shout if you want to know more about Map Cards.
Which Transducer will you use as they are not compatible with all units. Please contact me for further advice on Transducers WhatsApp Mick 072 938 1769 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Where will you mount the unit? Gone are the days where you could bolt your Head Unit onto the front hood. It just doesn't work and your unit will not last for very long due to the vibration and bouncing about. We make Custom Mounts from Stainless Steel and also supply RAM mounts
Lowrance offer a range of three choices of Fish Finders I would recommend for Jetski Fishing
Lowrance Eagle Fish Finders (Good)
Firstly the newer Eagle Range Lowrance Eagle Fish Finders which are available in 4, 5, 7, and 9 inch versions. To be honest I would not recommend the 4 inch version for a Jetski at all! For the budget conscious buyers and anyone who just wants the basics and would rather be fishing than playing with electronics this is the range I would recommend. Simple to use and nice bright colour screens they are a great entry to mid level unit. You can purchase from our online shop here Lowrance Eagle Fish Finders or WhatsApp Mick on 072 938 1769
Lowrance Elite FS (Better)
The next level of Fish Finder GPS combination unit from the Lowrance range I would recommend is the Elite FS Range. Especially the 7-inch version which is the ideal size for a Fishing Jetski. The Elite FS range fpr Jetski Fishing is available in 7 inch and 9 inch. You can purchase from our online shop here Lowrance Elite FS Fish Finders or WhatsApp Mick on 072 938 1769
Lowrance HDS Pro (Best)
Finally, the creme de la creme of Fish Finders the HDS Pro range. HDS PRO RANGE Although not available in a 7 inch model anymore the option available is a 9 inch model. Plenty of guys now have 9 inch units due to the clarity of the screens. As we are not getting any younger it becomes harder to see the tiny writing on screens! If that's you a 9 inch unit is what I would recommend. That's what I have and if its affordable to you I would suggest you get a 7-inch HDS Live. The display is amazing bright and clear. Two card slots which is invaluable if you want to map your on contours with your unit. You can purchase from our online shop here HDS PRO RANGE or WhatsApp Mick on 072 938 1769
INSTALLATION
There are basically two ways to mount a Transducer onto a Jetski. Internally and externally. Prior to 2014 the installation of choice was to mount an Airmar P79 inside the hull. This type of transducer is filled with antifreeze or light oil and worked extremely well if fitted correctly! The benefit of fitting an in-hull transducer is that when beaching and trailering / de trailering the transducer is protected. The downside is that you need to fit an external temperature transmitter. With the arrival of HDI and Chirp technology it has become essential to mount your Transducer externally. We custom make Fish Finder Mounting Brackets for all models. 2019 seen the arrival of Side Scan and huge Transducers which now gives us the capability of 120 metres side view from your vessel. In reality I have found that 30 to 40 metres side view in the Ocean is perfect on a very calm day! These new Transducers are definitely a challenge on a Jetski as beaching and de trailering can be a problem, so great care must be taken. I would definitely say use a Beach Roller. In my opinion however the benefits outweigh the negatives.

TRANSDUCERS
If you would like the best Transducer for normal Broadband Sonar you can't beat a 83/ 200 if you fish in less than 60 metres of water or a 50/200 if you fish deeper. CHIRP Transducers are a good option. If you want Side Scan go for a Lowrance 3 in 1 Transducer but be warned they are huge! Here are some of the Transducers available. Transducers If you do not see yours listed or need help just contact me. Mick.
MOUNTING THE HEAD UNITS
Mounting the Head Unit of your Fish Finder can be a challenge on your Jetski so we either use a custom-made Stainless Steel Mounting or a Ram Mounting. We also supply custom made Flexible Covers for all units to protect your Fish Finder in the surf zone and rough weather. They can be purchased here Jetski Clear Flexible Fish Finder Protective Covers
Remember as you add Marine Electronics, Pumps etc. it is extremely important that you add a Dual Battery setup to your Jetski. Here is the Jetski Dual Battery parts Link to Dual Battery Kits If you would like installation help or us to fit your Dual Battery give me a shout. WhatsApp Mick on 072 938 1769

From 2017 You now require a separate Buoyancy Certificate for your Tubbys, Jetwings, Pontoons, Side Pods, etc. and endorsed by SAMSA. The Tubby manufacturer must show SAMSA that if flooded the vessel will not sink, and the Tubbys / Jetwings / Pods etc. are also capable of being flooded. One of the options a manufacturer has is to do a Jetski 'Drop Test' This requires that a Jetski (not yours!) just a similar one must be dropped into sea water from a height of 2 metres. I witnessed one of these tests with Monty who manufactured the Jetwings. It is not for the faint hearted! Anyway you just need to contact the manufacturer for a copy of the certificate and attach it to your original buoyancy certificate.
In South Africa a Buoyancy Certificate is required for your Jetski before you can pass a COF (Certificate Of Fitness). Manufacturers issue a vessel wide Buoyancy Certificate when the vessel is new which is applicable to all models however your unique HIN (Hull Identification Number) is printed or written onto the buoyancy certificate. Contact us if you have lost or require a new Buoyancy Certificate and we will obtain one for you. Some are charged most there is no charge Yamaha and Sea doo are available. NOTE If you have any alterations do to your Jetski which affects the integrity of the hull you may need an Independant SAMSA appointed surveyor to issue a new Buoyancy Certificate. UPDATE There was a SAMSA (South African Marine Safety Association) Marine Notice (MN18 of 2015) which now means that if you fit Tubbys, Jetwings, Fast Pods, Pontoons etc. You will need the manufacturers approval (ie Yamaha or Sea doo etc) and the Pod manufacturer ie Racetech, Jetwings, Fast Power Sports, Hooked Up Motorsports. The Marine Notice was issued in late 2015 causing confusion and immediate cancellation of SAMSA appointed agents issuing buoyancy certificates. HOWEVER common sense prevailed as December is the busiest time of the year to issue certificates and the examiners are issuing COFs with the old original buoyancy certificate until further notice. All notices can be viewed here SAMSA Marine Notices

Solas Impeller Supply & Installation Service
If you would like to improve the performance of your Fishing Jetski or recreational Jetski one of the best improvements you can make is to install a Solas Impeller. If you are confident to do the job we can supply standard size Solas Impellers and removal / installation tools for Sea Doo Yamaha and even the odd Honda and Kawasaki Jetskis. Alternatively we can install the Solas Impeller for you. View the range of Solas Jetski Impellers here Buy Solas Impellers and also our range of Wear Rings here Wear Rings Yamaha & Sea Doo Jetskis
There are various types of Solas Impellers available, however the most popular is an Impeller which gives you improved acceleration and bottom end torque when you first press the accelerator. This is great for a Fishing Jetski as you need extra power when in the surf zone and when you have a passenger. Not to mention all the extra weight of Jetwings or Tubbys and all the extra fishing tackle!

The Link 9 marine VHF radio combines reliable performance with critical safety features for complete communication anywhere on the water.
Whether fixed-mounted or handheld, VHF radios are one of the most important communication and safety devices for anglers and boaters. From simple boat-to-boat or boat-to-shore communications to calling out or responding to on-the-water emergencies, VHF radios deliver peace of mind while on the water.
Lowrance’s rugged, waterproof VHF marine radios meet international compliance standards and are relied on by both commercial and recreational anglers and boaters. Many of the easy-to-use models are Class D, DSC Approved with the single-button distress call and instant vessel identification.
*** Spare batteries and antenna available ***
GPS 4-Ways
With the integrated GPS receiver the Link-9 has four ways to ensure you have a GPS fix in the event of an emergency – built-in antenna, SMA connector for GPS-500 antenna, NMEA 0183 for chartplotter GPS and NMEA 2000® for network antenna connection.
Built-in AIS
A dual-channel AIS receiver monitors the position of nearby AIS-equipped vessels, helping you to avoid collisions in crowded harbours and waterways. AIS information can be viewed on the Link-9’s built-in screen, or overlaid on your chart or radar screen through a compatible multifunction display.
Remote Mountable Fist Mic
The Link-9’s removable fist mic can be connected to the front or rear of the radio – optional extension cable allows the radio and mic to be mounted separately. This offers a simple and cost-effective solution for any mounting location, with no cable clutter.
Easier Front-Mount Installation
Link-9 features easily removable top and bottom bezels which reveal mounting holes allowing the same style of mounting from the front that is featured on Lowrance MFDs.
Navigation Mode
Press the NAV button on the Link-9 to turn it into a navigational instrument displaying your Speed and Course. Link-9 also contains a Man Overboard (MOB) function, hold down the NAV/MOB button to drop a waypoint on your current location and the Link-9 will enter MOB mode to show you how far away you are and where you need to steer to get back to the person in the water. The MOB waypoint is also transmitted over NMEA 2000 to the rest of your network.

MotoBatt Fat Boy Charger deal for Jetskis
See the Video here https://youtu.be/2b6ySzB2AH8
PDC Fat Boy 12V 2.0A Lithium and Lead Acid Charger Includes BMW Canbus Connector Sleek New Design with Easy to read Charge Level Indicators
Application: Suitable for LiFePO4, AGM, GEL, and Standard Flooded Types. "Smart" microprocessor selects correct chemistry when battery is connected. Plug and Play, no thinking, PDCFB does it for you! Latest technology optimized for Motobatt Batteries. Qualification Stage checks the battery is over 2V for safety reasons, then transitions to Rescue" Phase where an arsenal of 5 different recovery modes can be utilised to revive heavily Sulphated or deeply discharged batteries. Generally at this stage unusually high voltage is seen early in the charge cycle, once the rescue phase is done the battery is ready for Soft Start Phase When the charger detects a low initial state of charge, voltage and current are delivered at a specific rate to assist the battery recovery before entering Pulse charging mode. Pulse Phase provides a high frequency pulse charge to help the newly recovering battery to accept charge as it enters recondition mode. Recondition Phase continues to work the battery at a slightly higher voltage and amperage to re-activate the battery plates for improved depth of charge. Now that the battery has been eased back to life……. Bulk charge phase can begin giving constant current to the battery up to about 80% of its capacity. Absorption Phase begins with constant voltage being supplied while current is reduced. This occurs according to the batteries ability to accept charge up to 100%. Check Phase is now activated to monitor the batteries ability to hold the charge properly, if not it will cycle back through the entire process for 24 hours or more until it determines the battery cannot be recovered. For revived batteries it then enters Maintenance Phase where the battery can stay indefinitely connected to the charger. As the battery drops voltage while unused, the unit will activate when needed to ensure a full state of readiness. Keeping your batteries properly maintained with dramatically Extend working Life.
