Nice shots Kosmo. Are they from a tm mounted transducer?
Great pict guys. I learn from from picts like this than any tutorial out there.
I am redoing my boat and can't wait til I put the transducer on my trolling motor for my 998. Keep the Picts coming!
im glad that you asked about were my transducer was mounted.after i posted i saw were you were talking about trolling motor mount.no mine is transom mount,but i dont think that that really matters with the humminbird because of the scroll speed adjustment.i dont no about the lowrance but the 998 pritty easy to adapt to different speeds.one more thing that needs to be adressed is possible rf noise if your transducer is mounted to trolling motor.i no that i hear a lot post about humminbird and rf but not to lowrance but i see the rf in your pictures above every time your using the trolling motor and ive seen this from other lowrance users who post.im not tring to nock any brand or anybody just wanting to give a fair comparison of the to and to let people no that theres always a possiblity that they will have to deal with rf.Quote:

I had a hb 747c that was unusable with the us2, with the skimmer it worked great. I agree both HB and Lowrance have some great products.
Haven't got out for a while because of work. Best I have from the TM. Glad you asked though. The Quality speaks for itself.
