Anyone got some shots of how and where you mounted your LSS-2 transducer? I have a hornet 4.35 with 40 yammy. Got the info re position in relation to mounting for overlaying etc just wondrring more about height on transom etc. any help appreciated.

Just follow the instructions to the letter, cant go wrong or here https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sourcei ... transducer

According to the installation instructions you what to mount the side scan transducer just above the bottom of the hull - and normal transducer just below. (Side scan is onky used at slow speed so it still in water, but a little more protected)

I get a great picture from this set up

They are one big mofo of a transducer aren't they.... I thought my Humminbird HDSI was a big one.

2D transducer to the outside of boat 1/8" to 1/4" below transom, sides can transducer inside of boat, level to transom(best used at 3-5mph so does not need to be below transom), put some distance between them so the wide angle side scan does not catch the 2D in its beam. 2D transducer, start with 1/8", leave screws semi-tight so it can be adjusted during test, angle foward a few degrees to stop air bubbles.

Awesome fellas thanks heaps, should be pretty straight forward by the looks of it. Its a massive ducer but worth having looking at the results it provides. Might have to much around a bit with the distance between the 2d as my transom mounting plate is only smalll. Will take my time with this install i think and make sure i do it right. Cheers for the tips Mako and nomad and for the pic jonr. Big help.

Mine works great at speed - down scan that is, as opposed to side scan. My 'traditional' sonar some times
gets all temperamental at speed and won't play the game, so I'm often running at speed with the down scan on ....

Same here, I get a great picture with downscan the whole way to 65 km/h but the broadband starts to bug out around 40 km/h.
