Thread: Well....I installed the new Lowrance Structure Scan last nite.

Doubt it, but haven't heard if the Big Ducer has the same problems with bottom lock like the H'bird. Bet it does, so having the skimmer as well might not be a bad idea. Then again, I dunno if Low has the ability to switch. Prolly does though. Used to have to have an A/B switch. Prolly still do. Dont think there's 2 ports for 2 transducers, but maybe the structure scan black box has 2 ports. ?

Wannabe...

Oh boy....wait till Maj sees this and finds out about structure scan. :rolleyes:

Structure Scan black box has 1 port for sonar, nema connections to the HDS unit which leaves the sonar port on the unit open to keep the skimmer.

with a ducer bracket, just give me a shout

Yeah, that'd work too I spose. Prolly will lock the bottom better at speed due to size anyhow. Haven't priced just the ducer yet, but I'll bet it's up there. For that reason, I'd prolly want it mounted to where it's out of the water while on plane anyway....especially if I already had a spare ducer.

The instilation manual gives several options for mounting it. Jack plate mount and the like.

Been studying long and hard about that. Will be adding a 999 to my 788 in the near future.

so far so good with my structure scan, it showed fish the other day off to the side of me went back to the spot and BAM caught one.
