Lowrance Structure Scan Transducer on Trolling Motor

[StumpHog]

Just wondering how this would work? When you move trolling motor to left or right could Side Scan show complete front to back of boat? After I saw the HDS7 Structure Scan in action I think this is the one I will purchase. Does anyone else have this unit with the transducer on the trolling motor and how well has it performed, Thanks

I have ran this way before. When you turn the trolling motor, the image displayed will turn also, but you won't really get a readable 360 degree image. The best reading will come when you have the trolling motor running straight and scan parallel to the direction you are moving. Down scan will be a nice addition also.

When you are running in a straight line, the performance will be the same as having it on the console.

Thanks for the insight MD, after you locate the target do you switch to down scan/sonar? Thanks again

I do. I mark a waypoint, then go check it out with down scan.
