Reply With QuoteI have mine mounted maybe two feet from my Humminbird right to the boat (no pole). It been there several years with no issues. LCR works fine as does the GPS part of the unit. But maybe there is something different about Lowrance. Not for sure.

antenna help
Hey guys,
I am mounting an external Lowrance antenna and was wanting some advice from my c.c fellow fishers. Lowrance told me to mount antenna at least 3 feet away from finder or it could damage the finder. I have always had the antenna next to finder, but am redoing my boat. My questions are:
1) Where did you mount your antenna?
2) How did you mount it (on pole mount somewhere, on side of something, custom mount ...)?
Just hunting for best place and how.
thanks

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

I want mine mounted as close to the transducer as I can get it. Especially on an SI unit. If your transducer's on the stern & your antenna's at mid-ship on a 20' boat, you have created a 10' error right off the bat.
My 997 antenna is right over my transducer.
