    Default Installing LSS1 on my Crappie Jon


    I originally used a cut down Motorguide platform to mount the 200Khz skimmer and deployed the skimmer along with the MK. The PVC is 1 inch. I could not get both the 200khz and LSS1 transducer inside the PVC because of the size of the cables and cable connectors. I couldn't use larger PVC as it would not fit the clamp of the MG shaft. I pulled the LSS1 cable thru the center of the PVC and ran the skimmer cable outside (back) and covered it with Aluminum angle which stiffens the PVC and protects the cable. I put a piece of angle at the front of the PVC near the transducer to use as a chin guard. What a job figuring this stuff out. Trying to keep it looking neat.

    Note that them LSS1 transducer is 180* out of normal mounting, but the HDS allows you to flip image sides to accommodate this mounting arrangement.

    Nice looking set up CP. That looks like it did take some ciphering but it is slick.
