Mounting Motionize sensor on Epic kayaks? was created by DrA5
I picked up a Motionize data acquisition unit. The sensor that is mounted on the surfski I am imagining would be best mounted on center. On Epic kayaks, there is a pointed "crown" midline in front of the cockpit. Any tips on how to mount the sensor on center? Shims? If so, what kind? Pics of how you did it? Plus, the OCD in me would want it mounted in the center of the boat, not to one side of the crown.

Hahaha, I completely understand the OCD part of you wanting it dead centre, but it's definitely not necessary, just like it's not necessary for the paddle sensor to be right in the centre of the paddle.

Just off centre of the foredeck will work just fine.

I mounted a portable Richter Scale in the front of my bucket. Things aren't looking to good for the east coast of the US.
