I haven't checked it yet, but I'm hoping to mount it centered on the transom under the motor mount.  The new transducer will go in the standard location on the right, which will be higher than the HDsi transducer - so no interference.

In that configuration, the HDsi transducer will be set up to run at slow speed only - off plane.  No cavitation to deal with. 

That's where a lot of guys are mounting them on their bass boats.  They're even mounting them on the bottom of their jack plates.  It's nice and protected there too.

Yes, I got it the other day, I've been reading the book that came with it. I don't know if I even understand some of it but I'm getting there. I'm going to mount the transducer tomorrow and get everything wired up so my wife can take me out in the boat so I can learn how to use it seeing that I won't be able to fish for a couple of months while I'm recuperating from the shoulder surgery scheduled for the 21st.

Well Fedx pulled in the driveway this evening and my mind started jumping....i hope that splitter cable is in there...lol. All i got was the transducer!  :2cry: Still waiting for now. May is a long ways off too.

Way to go Fishhook . Hope you enjoy it

I got mine mounted and went to Salt Fork Lake on Sat looking around trying to get the hang of it, then went to Dillon Lake on Sun and got a good look at all those high humps just under the surface and the creek channels. I really like it so far but I had surgery last mon so it'll be a couple of months before I can get on the river with it looking for big flatheads under those old barges.

Got mine too!

Gotta get to work now...

Good news and bad news....

My high speed readings with the new transducer are awesome!! And I'm getting both side views.

The bad news?  I screwed up my HDSi transducer.

I tried to squeeze it in just under the motor mount and just above the bilge plug where it would have a good view of both sides and would be somewhat protected.  My boat is too low on the trailer so I can't trim the motor all the way down unless it's in the water, so I made some measurements to place the transducer so the cavitation plates on the motor wouldn't hit it.  It needed to fit nicely in between both plates - which it did - but I didn't take the cable into consideration.  The upper plate hit the rubber boot on the transducer cable and tore it up.  The transducer was still working when I pulled the boat out so, hopefully, I can goop it up with some sealant and keep water out of the transducer.  Expecting failure, I went ahead and ordered a new one today.  $167 at Beach audio by the way...

Here is the new transducer location..





Here is the torn up transducer...



And here is the awesome new dual beam addon.  You can see where the HDSi was located which didn't give me good left side readings and worked badly at high speeds for the 2D downlooking readings.
