    Default LSS2 placement


    I could have sworn I posted this but I must not have hit the send button so I'll try again. Based on your comments, I placed the LSS2 transducer as close to the centerline as possible without interfering with the outboard motor. I am curious as to whether the transducer will pick up interference from the foot of the motor since it is below and to one side of it. I am sure several of you have similar mountings so have you had a problem with the DF pinging the foot of the motor????

    Yes it will. I trim my motor up to get rid of most of it.

    You could see a lot of turbulence (interference ?) from the prop while easing along. If your boat has a stepped transom you could mount the LSS2 under the step, provide some protection and move it away a bit from the LU. I have a LSS1 on my boat and get some prop wash showing up on my set up at the very top of the screen.

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    Lower unit interference and prop wash.



    The white line to the left of center is the lower unit.

    I get prop wash and some lower unit showing on my left side. Not as bad in deeper water as it shows up close to the center line. Like others, I trim the motor while fishing.
