Ok so I have a lowrance hds5x and I got it right around Xmas just the unit itself. I went out today and got a transom mount transducer for it part number hst wsbl 106 72 I was just curious if that will allow the structure scan to work as well with that transducer.
No you will need a LSS 2 box and transducer. About $400
The LSS 1 will work as well
are you serious lol 400 just for transducer to make the structure scan work thats crazzzy
i won the fish finder on this website and now to make all functions work i will have to spend 400 on a transducer.
its not a side scan
Actually, you need the LSS 1 or 2 transducer AND the structure scan black box and Ethernet cable for structure scan to function. The LSS 1 might be cheaper, and depending on length of Ethernet cable needed, a new 15' cable is ~$50.Quote:

But it also brings me to my next question. Is it really worth me spending the 400 to use the structure scan. Or would it be cheaper to just go buy a Down imaging unit
You can find complete structure scan deals out there for less than $400, just have to look and possibly wait for a deal to pop up. they are out there, just got to look.
