Thread: Da Ducer on 1648 G3 from podunkideas.com

Thanks Chuck ...

Don't forget ... You can mount an external GPS antenna directly to the VHMW top cap of da ducer apparatus® ...

Let me know if you have questions ...

Good looking brackets on those seats also ...

Rickie

You might also think about mounting the HDI on da ducer apparatus® ...

And there is no interference if running the both depth finders at the same time in shallow water say to 40' deep at the most? I was just going to run the Hook 5 HDI for navigation no better the maps are for Indiana Lakes and run the side scan and down scan off the Elite 7. But,,now you got me thinking of moving the Hook 5 transducer off the trolling motor for sure. I upgraded all 3 depth finders as Lowrance has a patch to their software upgrade for rectifying the lag in their built in gps's and wanted to see how good the upgrade was before springing for a external gps.

Another question,,,how do you squeeze all the attachment heads of the wires into the square channel with transducer wires already inside? Is there a way to take the ends apart or maybe file down the outsides down aliitle? The ends that attach the transducers to the unit is what I am asking?

Run different frequencies on each xducer ...

awesome on the diff. frequencies. How did you get all your wires into the square channel. Is there a way to take the end caps off where they screw tight on the back of the depth finders?

Rickie..looking at the OP's first pic w/daducer deployed raises a question for me. If you have sv/si on the apparatus does physical interference/blockage from TM become a consideration? If so how do you correct for that? Realize too that the ducer only has to be in the water, not as deep as TM, but wondered about blocking si sigs such as on the transom with the gas motor. TY
