Thread: HDS9

There are thousands of transducers mounted to jack plates. The only issues I've seen with mounting the td on the jack plate is that you need a holeshot plate to cover the bottom of the jack plate and you may need to trim the motor up to help with interference form the skeg. The holeshot will prevent the side scan signal from bouncing around in the jack plate.

Cray, just take the photo with your IPad and access the site through tap talk. When you make a post, there's a plus circle to the left of the text block. Press the plus and at the bottom you'll see a diagram of a camera, another of a print and a bird for twitter. Just press the print diagram and it will prompt you to select a picture from you album. Select the picture, it will load an attach to your text. Just hit reply to post. Hope this helped.

Thanks Brad, that helps. I'll get it figured out and my apologies to crappie&shroms for hijacking your thread.

Have you thought about mounting the LSS-2 transducer on the hull step? In the picture it looks like there's plenty of room.

Google "stern mate" and "stern saver". No holes in your glass, I used the stern saver on a tin boat to mount a LSS1 on the step and it's been there for almost 2 yrs.

Cray. Don't worry about hijacking my thread. I won't lose any sleep over it. LOL.
Brad I just mounted the transducer like you did. I like that. It's still protected and away from the motor. I went ahead and drilled 3 holes in the transom, coated the screws with marine sealer and ran them in. No more than my boat is in the water if they did leak I would never know it anyhow.
Hopefully if all goes well I will be at KY lake 3rd week of October. That may possibly be the first time I get to try out the HDS 9. I am hoping to get down to lake Shellbyville for a quick trip just to check and see if everything works on it.
Thanks everyone for your inputs.
I will have many more questions to come.

Thanks Cane Pole.
There is not much on here that gets me worked up. Definitely not somebody asking a question on one of my post. Thats what most of you guys and gals are on here for. To help others. Lord knows I have received tons of valuable info from this forum. Just wish I had more to give back. Its hard to give fishing reports and advice when you DON'T get to fish much. have a good day Catch ya all later.

Good deal, I'll think you'll be satisfied with the location.

Ok. HELP!
I got the hds 9 installed. Haven't had a chance to get it in water to check everything out. I was playing around with the insight map that came with it. It's ok but would like a better one.
What is the difference between the insight HD, the insight Pro or the insight V14? Any pros or cons on these. What's everyone using. I will predominantly use it on Ky lake or lake shelbyville.
