You can make one from scratch but there are companies that are starting to manufacture these. We ended up purchasing one and it worked perfect. No interference what so ever. They run on different Freqs. I'll find the website we purchased the bracket from and post. Down imaging on the front of your boat is amazing. When we pulled up on a brush pile we could almost count how many fish were on it. We could also see how deep they were and how they related to the brush.

I'm interested to see how the Elite works. Do you know if it uses the same structure scan ducer as the HDS 8's and 10's. Does it require the LSS1 network component?
The HDS-5 downscan tranducer is much smaller than the sidescan tranducer not as wide or long. It doesnot require the LSS1 network
