Structure Scan transducer
Submitted by LandyAndy on Sat, 2013-11-09 18:01
Been doing a bit more on my HDS9 install,finally got the Aimar 1kw transducer installed today.
The LSS-2 Structure scan transducer is next.
Anybody got one of these???
I will be mounting it close to the Aimar,but lower as all the good oil suggests.My issue is the thing will be having a jolly good look at the leg of the outboard,unless its trimmed a fair way up.
Just spent the last hour trolling the net,it seems its the norm with these things,just lift the motor to allow a clear view to the left as its only a low speed transducer anyhow.
I have no flat spot under the hull so it can only be transom mounted.
Would appreciate any input from those who have the structure scan and how you find it.
Thanks Guys.

No real other option
I have this with the HDS, most use I have had so far is down scan. This has been good.
The images from the down scan have been good to qualify fish from structure.
Early days for me on this also, got to dedicate the time to learning it...
The map overlay is also something I need to take time to use.
Sorry not much more to offer.
The beam angle for side scan may or may not remove the issue you are concerned about re the outboard leg.

Transducers
Ive got a HDS7 and a furuno 627, I run the transducers next to eachother on the same side of the boat. Havent had any issues. I use the Furuno a lot more, it never lies, awesome unit.
