How much does the 4' "L" da ducer stick weigh?
Also, could you give me the distance between the mounting holes in the quick disconnect mount?
Thanks

The da'ducer apparatus® L-model Basic 4' weighs right at 8lb...
Below is the Quick Attach Bracket for the 4' model...(the 3"x 7" plate I'm measuring in the pic is the plate that would mount to the boat)...

Thanks Rickie...
Rickie, do you have a picture of the da ducer in the stowed position on a boat?
Sorry to be so much trouble.
Looks like rickies got something he's hiding behide that blue tarp.Could it be a new invention????????Itnonono:dono:yikes:yikes
I was wondering the same thing. Sneaky little devil.
Kosmo, I think you may be onto something!
Will the da ducer work with my trolling motor in the stowed position? I really don't want to put it on the starboard side. It would replace the present stick.

Here's the folded height (stowed)...with the Quick Attach bracket...

It looks like the shaft of da'ducer apparatus® will fit under the Terrova shaft with both stowed...
If da'ducer apparatus® is under the Terrova like your xducer stick is now... I don't think da'ducer apparatus® could be deployed without unlatching the stowed Terrova 1st...and then picking the Terrova up enough to allow da'ducer apparatus® to deploy...
(da'ducer apparatus® deploys just like a regular "scissor type" trolling motor...Fortrex, Maxxum..etc)..

So whats behind tarp #1
I feel like hes ignoring us Kosmo.
You guys are sharp ....ain't ya...??Quote:

Rickie, Did you ever get the bow 360 adapted to work on your apparatus?
I've done some initial searches for tubing big enough to insert the bow 360 shaft into...but haven't found a good supplier for that yet...Quote:

What size you need? Did you try that online metals.?
I did look at that ...but they didn't list the size I needed in small enough guage...Quote:

I still have to adapt da'ducer apparatus® to fit the larger square tubing...Quote:

Rickie
Rickie, I am probably not going to be doing anything for a couple of months.
Right now I am still weighing my options.....and am a little conflicted about whether to go with the bow or transom mount after some of the things Kosmo has brought to light.
If you get one ready for testing, let me know.....thanks, Bob
I think that it would be nice if rickie could modified his da ducer thingy ,so a person could move it from the front to the back of the boat.that would be the ideal application for the 360,because there are times that it would work best on the bow and other times a transom mount would be best.Quote:

Yeah, maybe the quick disconnect for the apparatus could be set up at more than one location..........I was also trying to figure out if this was feasible for the transom 360.Quote:

Rickie
BobB can you expound on the difference in the offset between the transom and TM 360? I am planning on using Rickies apparatus and the TM 360 on it at the transom.
Unless it won't work that away.
Rickie I really like the way you have the base plates pinned, least it appears that way in the photo.
Redge, I was asking Kosmo that question......I thought I remembered something about the position offset working differently on the transom 360 than it does on the bow 360.....not sure if that is the case.
This is a good ideal Bob.the bow mounted 360,on the da ducer thingy,with a quick connect to move to either the front or rear of the boat.Quote:

Redge, you already catch more slabs than I do, so why are you worrying about an offset. You already have a 2:1 on me.
I believe that the offset feature would be an important option to considerQuote:

Redge, Yes I have an Off Set, but my GPS receiver is only 3' for my TM. You may not be aware but if you have the 360 hooked to an SI unit, you can use it for DI and SI. I have not set it up that way to see how good the images are. I would have to change setting every time I wanted to go back to my transom SI xducer ..... because as you know I only have one 998 on my boat and use a TS2 switch. But if a person had a bow and console unit that might be pretty cool. dj
Rickie, I assume that I need to still select the SI xducer after I replace it with the XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T ? I need the 2d for depth when the 360 is "ON" and it also has a slit screen 2d/360.
I have done a little more research about the offset with the 360.
With the bow 360, the offset is backwards......I guess assuming the 360 is on the front and you are fishing from the back.
This would be a problem if wanting to put the bow 360 at the back of the boat....and wanting to use the offset for correction.
The transom 360 offset is forward. Assuming the 360 is on the back and you are fishing from the front.
I guess the software engineers assumed we are always going to put the bow 360 on the bow and the transom 360 on the transom instead of just giving us a Forward or Backwards choice in the software.
I have requested a software change on a couple of other forums.
BobB, with the 360 TM on my 998c SI you are correct, it can only be set backwards. But when I read the manual all the "off set" is for is to correct the GPS receiver location error so it is easier to determined were the waypoint is actually at. If your GPS is at the rear of your boat and you mark a waypoint that is under the TM xducer, the waypoint is set where the GPS receiver is located, which could be 20' to the rear on a big bass boat. Is this not correct? On my boat the GPS is only 3' from the TM. dj
I don't have the 360 yet, but I think others are using the offset to offset to your fishing position, so what you see on the 360 represents the actual direction from you.
See some of the shots Kosmo has posted where the offset ring from his transom 360 shows the actual position of the bow of the boat....especially useful when vertical fishing or trying to determine where to cast to a target.
In your case, if the 360 and HS gps is at the bow and you are fishing at the bow, you already have the correct perspective.
Correct...still select "Hi Def SideScan" as the Transducer Select setting.....Quote:

So, there shouldn't be any different settings than if you were using a single HDSI xducer and the 360...
Rickie
BobB, Kosmo ..... must just be setting this 360 as if the GPS is at the bow no matter were it is located. The 360 TM on my 998 doesn't draw a circle, it has a line back the distant of the off set and a dot. If you look on page 33 of the 360 installation Guide you will see what I'm talking about.
