Thread: Any suggestions on transducer placement issue

Well, I will have to say it was a very chilly ride for sure. We ran down to the dam and back right about the time it started to rain. I am still losing bottom depth readings at speeds over 30 mph but that happened to me with the other boat too. I will just use the other graph that is mounted in the dash now for higher speed readings. But I did get much better down imaging results with it mounted to the outside hull. Thanks for the responses and the help. Much better now.

Whatcha think for a cheapie graph with almost the same stuff as a HDS 7???? I like it wish I would have went ahead and bought two now like the wife told me to do. But I was skepticle with how well it would work with the price.....I say go for it if your looking at them.

The DI looks the same there as my HDS. Throw the costs into it and what each person can utilize out of the 2 Ida prolly been better off with somthing like that TBH!!!! Lol Either one id be happy with!! But its sure nice that it werked this time around!!!!

Jon you know what a tight wad I am. I am always trying to savea buck if possible. I have been in a few boats now with the HDS and SS and I honestly am happy. I could not figure out all the options anyways to run the HDS so why spend the extra money lol.

Hey Lee, I know you will work through the placement of the ducer. I, like I'm sure many other members are looking at the Elite 7 as an upgrade and would like some feedback on this unit. Let us know what your thoughts are about it. Good luck....

Xactly my point!! They didnt have that unit when i purchased my units last year. Well they had DI units but not like that!! Does that unit have GPS?? The pics of Spoonbills are flippin unbelievable!! I tried to snap some pics of it but the way the sunlight was it wouldnt werk out. It shows the bills and the forked tails, simply amazing!!! I am very happy with the HDS now if it would just teach me how to use it lmao!!!!

Not my pic but a buddies but looks just like mine. Hope this picture thing werks!!

I will report more once I get to use it out actually fishing here.

Jon, yes it has GPS and it has internal down imaging inside the unit so there is only 1 transducer. I liked that rather than having the long skinny one that you have to try and protect someplace.

Wow so everything except SS kewl. Yea that big Tducer kinda stinks but its somewhat protected on my tank by the rear pod! I hope lol
