Is it easy to remove from boat? Does it come with quick disconnects from power and transducer?

Yes it is easy to remove the unit bu unplugging wires on back of unit. The wiring to the transducers and battery stay in the boat. I use in kayak and mounted the unit on a base I can remove and put in car when not in use.

No. You can remove the head but you must manually remove connection. Also hard to see in bright sun.

Yep, the unit lifts out of it's base ......slick! Hope you have better luck with this than I did. Never did get it to work for more than a few mins. Returned it.

I take mine off every time I put the boat up. Yes, they're easy to install and take off. Just use an allen wrench to make sure they're tight, so they don't move around when boating or trailering. Just loosen and unplug. I store them in the original box.

I think you could unplug the electrical connections in a couple minutes. The power/ground/power-on-signal wires are all on one plug. The speaker inputs are an easy connection also. How you temporarily mount this unit in your trunk may be the hardest thing to disconnect.

yes, you need a power source from somewhere. you should be able to find a hot under the console from another item on the terminal block, depending on boat accessories.

Yes, very easy to remove. It just sits on top (or inside the drain), it isn't installed, so you can just pick it up when you don't want to use it.

Yes, the base stays attached to the boat. To remove the holder you pull it up, turn it to a notch in the base, and it comes out.

The transducer does not have to be permanently fixed to the transom. We have attached the transducer to a 1" x 4" x 6' plank and clamped it to the railing on an hose boat, it works just fine. Be sure to submurge past the pontoons or boat bottom. You will not get a good reading otherwise.

Very simple to remove. Unplug the power cable, depress the locking button and pull out to the side. Very well engineered - easy and secure.

No , the transducer comes with the unit , it does have a suction cup on transducer so he can put it anywhere on the boat , i think he will like it .

No, there is no built-in quick connect/disconnect per se. However, it is just 1 nut that needs to be removed and it disconnects easily. It takes about a minute or two to disconnect.

It is a couple plug ins that you disconnect. Most equipment is attached to carriage.

Once you get it installed, If its in the way, its easy to take it off the boat by just undoing the two wing nuts. I put one of these on my Bass boat and sometimes I don't need it, so I just take it off as it only takes seconds to remove. The initial install of the bimini isn't hard, but takes some time, but once thats done, removing it and putting it back is very simple, or you can buy some braces that will hold it up at an angle that will allow you to open hatches etc without it being in the way. I really like having it and am glad I bought it.

Yes. However, check the pivot bolt/nut before you install it on your boat. I received a defective nylock type nut that seized on the bolt. I did not cross thread it....it simply seized on the bolt and could not be removed no matter how much I cranked on it with a wrench. I had to hack saw the mount off my boat. In summary: test the bolt/nut first to ensure it doesn't seize before you mount the transducer.

Yes. It is can always stay connected so when you bring your boat in you just plug it in. If you don't keep the battery in the boat, then you can take the wires off and on as needed.

Yes it has quick disconnects on the suction and discharge valves. Very minimal water spilled during maintenance.

I don't recall one and don't remember using it for that purpose. I left the unit in my boat over a hundred miles away and I am unable to check it out at the moment. Sorry.

It takes a bit of pressure to lock it into the wave so removing it takes the same amount of effort when pressing the release lever and trying to remove it. I have not had any issues at all with it on my wave.
