Ok my HDS 9 has arrived. I am hoping to get it mounted in the next few days. I have been attempting to read as many threads as possible to determine the best way for mounting the 10" long lss2 transducer.
This is going on a Ranger 185. I do have a jack plate. My first thoughts were to mount it on the bottom of the jack plate. Then I read several threads on another forum that says that creates interference. .??
I really don't want to drill into transom if I can avoid it.
The installation guide said to mount it outside or inside the jack plate with just two screws through the side! That makes me a little nervous and doesn't appear it would be too sturdy.
I would love to get a few opinions from you guys.
