Thread: Structure Scan Question

You could mount both the LSS-1 and the HDS transducers with no problem. The LSS-2 could also be mounted on trolling motor. You would haft to build a bracket but it is no that big a problem. I built mine, but you could have one built by someone that does welding. I made mine out of aluminum, but could be made out of metal.

I didn't really want SI on my trolling motor but did want DI. So instead of buying a LSS-1 to go on my HDS-7 on the bow, I bought a Elite 5X-DSI for less money than a LSS-1 would cost. Now I get GPS/D-2 Sonar on my HDS-7, and the DI on my Elite 5X-DSI. This way there is no switching screens back and forth. I just flop the TM in the water, and I am reading 3 different screen, up and running full time. Here is the bracket I built.









You can see with this bracket, I just butted it up to the trolling motor skeg. But for a LSS-2, there would not be enough room the length of the transducer. So you would need to make the bottom plate longer, meaning you would haft to have a spit for the skeg to fit in, then off to one side of the skeg, mount the LSS-2. This will let you cheat forward with the LSS-2, and cover the distance you would need for the 8"-9" transducer.

Just because no one makes something that will allow you to do something, doesn't mean it can't be done. Just haft to do a little thinking outside the box. Most of the time you even end up with a better product than if you could or would have, if you bought it retail. I barrowed a friends Aluminum Welder, and built my bracket myself for a total of $2.29 for a few bolts. called around and could have had it built by a local welder for $60.00. All the brackets I saw on Web Sites that allowed you to put 2 tranducerson the trolling motor was over $100, IF they made something that fit your need.

Not Available if not the thing I like to hear. If I need something, I get to thinking about what it would take to make this happen. Usuaally in a day or two, Got It.


I owned a HB-1198 and HB-898 at first. Wasn't what I thought it should be, so sold them and bought Lowrance HDS-10 & HDS-7, and I have been happy ever since.
