I tried it Saturday afternoon up at Spencer. Very few people fishing there but then again it was middle of day. The wind was light and manageable. Fishede brush between 18 and 23 ft. Caught one keeper and lost one keeper on the way to the surface, then a dink. All on one pile around 19ft on minnows. It was slow but weather was nice.

Has anybody installed a Lowrance HDS 5? I would like to put this in the dash on my 2005 Triton Fish & ski, not sure but I think it will fit. I currently have a smaller lowrance with a thru hull transducer, any issue with just using that transducer instead of installing the one that came with the HDS-5?

You should post this in the electronics forum. You'll get plenty of help there. If the connections on the ducer are the same, it might work. Did you purchase the LSS-1 unit for getting the SI and DI to work? If so, I don't know if there is a through hull for that transducer. You'll have to mount it outside the hull on the transom or trolling motor depending on where you want it. The guys in the electronics forum will help. Good luck!
