The new Hobie 360 goes forward, backwards, sideways, any direction you want. It also has the flip up fins, so zero damage hitting underwater objects. I have a Hobie PA14, love it!!! I’ve caught everything from bass to marlin on the kayak. Do yourself a favor, get the PA 360 12 or 14. You will not regret it.
I’m willing to bet this is a battery connection/voltage issue rather than the fish finder. Most lithium batteries have a
“Smart board circuit” built in, make sure the
Battery is fully charged with a lithium approved charger. Otherwise it will cycle like that.
At 320 you need a Hobie PA 14 or and older Hobie outback, 2005 to 2010 would work fine.
The PA14 is rated 600 pounds, I’m 325 and fish my PA14 everywhere, lake, river and ocean. Totally stable, the other kayaks will not maintain the stability of the Hobie at 320 plus gear. I tried my son’s bona fide 117 and it was completely unstable at my weight, I also tried a big Jackson kayak, still unstable. The Hobie is solid and stable all the time. Don’t get fooled on the stability. It is critical for big guys!!
Use a 6-12 foot crankbait
DT-6 and DT-10 hot mustard color

Hobie 14PA
Absolutely it is useful , moving or sitting still,
It marks fish and structure on both sides of you. I fish a Hobie PA with side scan and it is very helpful. The new active image units from
Lowrance give great detail.
I kayak bass fishing regularly, it absolutely is
A better method than shore fishing. It opens
Up your ability to vertical drop shot on top of
Brush piles, work drop offs and ledges as well
As it’s great fun and exercise. There a kayak
