North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Gday all i was told at the boat shop today to mount the transducer for the lss1 unit atleast 8 inches form the hds units transducer or on the other side of the motor , just wondering what everyones done because in the install manual they say no further than a foot from hds transducer????

Hi

I have mine of the other side but its got something to do with overlays. both tranducers side by side you can do some overlay thing. When mine was fitted the deal told me about it but the mounting plate was already there so they are about 1m apart.

cheers mate i think ill put them together if i can, from reading instructions i think the overlay it for comparing normal sounder downscan image with lss1 downscan image.

Mine are 1/2" apart.. Overlay is spot on..

Mine are 50mm apart and like 2Rods the overlay is spot on

cheers guys will fit tomorrow

Ditto to what everyone else said.. Mine are right next to each other and work great.

Yep same here on the same plate.

cheers guys i bought an adjustable plate to fit both to, just have to wait till trailers finished to fit the transducer and hit the water

Would any of you that have already fitted it care to throw a pic of them on the thread. It would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to get my side scan soon.

Cheers

No overlay just side/down scan

All fitted and workin took it out friday night and spent more time lookin at the sounder than where i was going or fishing, ive only got it on the hds5 and its just fine if its the only screen up at the time, however i may get another unit to run the gps on. Can anyone tell me if you can take screen shots with the 5 or not? I ran side scan on the pallette it started with and around 70 on the contrast and found this to be prefect. Anyone got anymore hints? Searched the site but didnt find to much..
Cheers Bisho

Few shots i took over the weekend at peter faust dam at prossy.

Cheers Bisho

Hi Bisho ,not sure if this will help probably to late

Thanks Jim. The overlay feature you're referring to is to just overlay the 2D and structure scan. It isn't to run them as split screen, correct? So as long as I could still run split screen, one 2d and one structure, and have the ability to plot waypoints on the sonar definitely don't see a need to overlay the two images.

Your assumptions are correct.
