The Lowrance StructureScan HD Transom-Mount Transducer 10802-001 is a separate add-on module that works with Lowrance HDS Gen2 and HDS systems - in conjunction with the new StructureScan HD Sonar Imaging System. It features a low profile, low-drag design with built-in water temp sensor, and plugs directly into your Ethernet port. It also comes equipped with a stainless-steel mounting bracket with a kick-up feature for mounting on the transom.
This helps keep the transducer safe from unnecessary damage by allowing it to fold or kick up when it comes in contact with underwater obstacles. Damage the bracket, and you can simply replace it (not the transducer) inexpensively. The Lowrance StructureScan HD Transom-Mount Transducer can also be mounted on the transom step or jackplate. New and improved - Lowrance StructureScan Sonar Imaging HD is the next generation of Lowrance's revolutionary StructureScan. Delivering greater resolution and a wider range for enhanced underwater viewing, StructureScan HD provides three different views of the same underwater object -left, right (SideScan), and DownScan imaging for the highest level of viewing detail ever achieved.
Romborama the bloody beetroots rar. Super convenient display options also allow you to enjoy full, detailed, panoramic underwater displays for a complete view of structure and fish, with greater detail and wider coverage. The Lowrance StructureScan HD Transom-Mount Transducer 10802-001 includes: -StructureScan Transducer (20ft cable attached) -Mounting Bracket -Mounting Hardware - Please Note: This model is not available for order outside of the United States.
July 13, 2010 Humminbird sidescan versus Lowrance side scan, which is better? That’s a question a friend asked me today, and it’s one I hear over and over regarding sidescanning fishfinders. Unless you plan to drop 10 grand on a searchlight transducer, these two are pretty much the only game in town. So, which should you choose? First off, you can read my reviews from long-term testing of the lowrance on BoaterMouth.
So far, you can find posts on initial use mounting the structure scan transducer and how I found it after a couple of months of use More reviews are to follow, and when I’m done with the Lowrance I’ll review the HumminBird, too. Both Lowrance and Humminbird will probably be ticked at me for saying it, but when it comes to side-scanning performance, so far as I can tell, there’s not a heck of a lot of difference between the two.
That said, IMHO Lowrance screens tend to have better displays – but they cost more, too, giving Humminbird a leg up when it comes to the cost comparison. In either case, I think anglers will be darn happy to be able to see off to the sides of their boat–it’s a pretty cool advantage, and at times, can lead to spectacular catches. With both systems, the best feature (again, IMHO) is the ability to place the cursor on structure you see off to the side, then change over to the chartplotter screen, and navigate directly to it. So, which one should you get? If you already have an HDS unit on your boat, the obvious choice is also the right one.
But if you want a lower cost alternative and you don’t have an HDS already on the dash, it makes sense to consider the Humminbird. (A quick cost comparison: for the HDS 8 you’ll spend around $1,700, plus $600 for the LSS1 side scanner. The 8-inch Humminbird 998c SI goes for about $2,000 total, saving around $300. But the HDS 8 has 600 x 800 pixels, while the 998c SI has 480 x 800 pixels.) Either way, I’d bet my last bunker you’ll be psyched after mounting either one of these side scanners on your boat.

50/200/455/800 kHz Transducer, US/Canada Coastal, Great Lakes, Major Canadian Lakes Charts HDI TECHNOLOGY HDI(Hybrid Dual Imaging) technology means you have the power of two imaging systems melded seamlessly into one, differentiating very clearly between fish arches and structure, showing you the bottom clearly too. You can now see both broadband SONAR and high-resolution DownScan SONAR on one device, from just one transducer that’s about the same size as a traditional transducer, so installing is really easy.
So you can see traditional echoes from the broadband SONAR next to high-resolution 3D SONAR echoes. A Track-Back feature allows you to go back into sonar history so you can rewind the SONAR readings and study them at your own leisure to make sure you didn’t miss anything. If you have the GPS on, the trackback will show GPS data too, so if you find something you missed in the SONAR history, you can navigate back to that spot.
POWERFUL DOWNSCAN IMAGING: Lowrance DownScan Imaging innovation displays crystal-clear photo-like views of structure, bottom, thermoclines, baitfish and predator fish directly beneath the boat. No interpretation needed. You can choose 455 kHz sounding for wider and deeper sonar imaging coverage, and 800 kHz for enhanced viewing of targeted locations. Comes with standard 83/200 kHz sonar as well to use in deeper water and at higher speeds to scout for locations. MULTIPLE CHARTING OPTIONS: Mark waypoints at your favorite fishing spots so you will never forget where you caught “the big one” again! Comes pre-loaded with BaseMap or Navionics. Basemap is a very basic map, not completely reliable for navigation.
If you plan on using this heavily for chartplotting, you will need an extra charting package. Navionics Gold Charts show contours like paper-charts, and can show entire continents, but when you zoom in, still gives you an accuracy of up to one meter! The internal GPS antenna is 16-Channel, and built-in memory allows for up to 3,000 waypoints, 100 routes/100 waypoints per route and 100 retraceable plot trails/up to 10,000 points per trail. BRIDGE BETWEEN ELITE AND HDS: The Lowrance Elite-7 HDI is a bridge between Lowrance’s Elite series and the. Previously, the ability to have both Broadband SONAR and DownScan SONAR was only available in HDS series units, and that too with the additional LSS-2 StructureScan Module. Now, the Elite-7 HDI brings you a larger screen than the HDS-7, as well as all of the SONAR technology and mapping technology that was available in the HDS, too,at a lower price! If you don’t need the more advanced networking features of the HDS Series, but want the Broadband and DownScan SONAR, then the Elite-7 HDI is an excellent choice for you.
SPLIT SCREEN VIEWING WITH EASE: The generous 7 inch screen allows you to view a LOT of data on one screen very comfortably. You have a choice of either viewing just charts, just Broadband SONAR, just DownScan SONAR, or a combination of any two or three of those. You can view Broadband and DownScan SONAR side-by-side to compare two readings together, and you can even do a three way split to see all three things at once. There is also an option in the menu for adjusting the size of either panel. The default setting is all three panels will be of equal size, but if you would like to see one with more space, you can easily resize the panels.
USE IT WITH ONE HAND: All the buttons are on the right side of the screen, so you can easily operate the unit with just one hand – or even one thumb, for that matter! A tap of the “pages” menu will let you cycle through pre-set split screen options, and the menu and four-way keypad are also accessible for operating on the fly, so you can have one hand on the wheel or motor and you can comfortably use the Elite-7 HDI unit with your other hand. NMEA 2000 NETWORKING: The Lowrance Elite-7 HDI has three plugs in the back: one for power, one for SONAR, and one for NMEA 2000 networking. NMEA 2000 is the standard through which data is shared from one device to another in all marine applications. You can use the NMEA 2000 port to share GPS and waypoint data between your existing chartplotter to your Elite-7 HDI unit.
This is especially useful when you are upgrading to this unit and you already have a GPS unit which has lots of waypoints saved in. Instead of having to painstakingly make new waypoints(since you would have to go to every single spot again!) you can just hook both units up using the network port and share your data instantly. EASY INSTALLATION: The Lowrance Elite-7 HDI is really easy to install.
Lowrance Side Scan Transducer Mounting
You can use a gimbal mount to fit the unit flat onto any surface. The gimbal mount lets you tilt the fish finder up and down, but you will not be able to swivel it. The other option is to use a flush(or in-dash) mount, which can fit comfortably into your boat’s dashboard. This is a pretty extensive DIY project, so if you aren’t too sure on how to do it, you should get it installed professionally. The has a detailed schematic that you can stick on to your dashboard to guide you with cutting, and is a good reference. The transducer is really easy to mount, as it works like any transom mount transducer.
Mount it on the transom, make sure that it is parallel to the water surface(not titled), and in a position that always remains submerged in the water. You only need to run two wires: one from the transom mount transducer to your head unit, and one from the head unit to the power source. If you have an existing transducer(Airmar or Lowrance) that has a blue plug, and you want to use it with the Elite-7 HDI, you will be able to, but you will only get Broadband SONAR.

So I opened up my sidescan/downscan transducer kit (LSS-1) and read the installation instructions for the transducer 5 times. Vague doesn’t really begin to describe it.
Installation
When installing my regular transducer there were plenty of do’s and don’ts, for this transducer that is not the case. So I am looking for that correct position to install the transducer. I have heard rumors that it is best if mounted below the primary transducer and no more than a foot away. The primary is 16” center to center of the hull.
My thought is that I would mount it to the left of the primary in the below photo. Is this okay? How close can I get to the primary and be okay? Would being this close to the motor be okay? The reason I ask is although I will be using it mostly under trolling power I still need it to be accurate under main motor power (long story short my dad who was a pirate in his last life, generously and out of the blue, coughed up the $600 for the kit at Fisherman’s and by God he now has the right to find sunken ships with it, and he doesn’t like running the kicker). For reference here is the Lowrance install guide. Since these run on two totally different frequencies there isn't an issue with interference.
You want the two ducers as close together as possible to give an accurate reading if you are using the spit screen option with down scan / side scan / sonar. The structure scan works best at low speeds / trolling, but will read up to 35 mph I think.
I have mine mounted on my jack plate so mine doesn't read when I'm on plane anyways, only when I am idling around or on the trolling motor. Hope this helps. Now that you have told me that I guess what I experienced was an illusion, thanks for setting me straight. Excerpt from John Easton's Fisherman's guide to sonar. Best french language program.
