Check out this step by step tutorial on how to flush mount a Lowrance 3-in-1, total scan, or 3D transducer. Comment if you have any questions. Flush Mount Kit LINK: www.lowrance.com/lowrance/typ... #lowrance #transducer #flushmount
John, the way you mounted the Lowrance AI transducer, you are going to need to go into the set up menu on the HDS unit and select “flip left and right” They are desined to be mounted on the back of the boat with the cable facing the transom. If you don’t do that then what you think is on the right will actually be on your left because of the orientation of the transducer.
hello, sorry for the inconvenience, I wanted to ask you for advice, I bought a hdslive9 with the spnda imaging.3-1 and I wanted to ask you for advice, I saw that it contains 4 types of frequency (high chirp-medium- chirp/ 83e 200) I practice trolling with live snapper on a seabed ranging from 50 meters up to 90, for this type of depth which frequencies should I use? should I use only one or at 50 one frequency and at 90 another type of frequency?, I accept valuable advice thanks
My Puma STS just arrived and Im doing my own electronics. How did you run the cable into the hull in the back? Did you drill new holes. If so what rubber plug did you use?
I'm new to fishfinders ... I'm buying a hds live, for my 15ft aluminum gregor .. it comes with the 3 in 1 transducer .. it doesn't have a step or a jack plate tho ... I want the hds live because it's compatible with my xi3 trolling motor ...... so it's my understanding that the 3 in 1 will not read anything at speed? ... so I'm curious how to mount the 3 in 1 on my style of boat , and if I can plug in a second transducer next to it that is better at scanning at speed .. and can I plug them both into the hds live unit without interference?
You have the humminbird mounted on the jack plate so you can't Mount the Lowrance on the other side of the Jack Plate obviously (for interference yeah), so my question is screwing it into the bottom of the boat are you actually going to have depth at speed now mounting it in that location? My 3 in 1 is currently mounted to my jackplate and I don't get a reading on plane because it's out of the water.
Mounting your 3 in 1 like that will regular sonar read up on plane. I have a Ranger 518vx & want to mount mine like that. I have a Garmin 93sv depth finder. Thanks in advance for your input.
No it will not you’ll lose the reading when on plane. If you want to still read at high speed then it has to be mounted off the transom and adjusted perfectly. 👍
Hi, While I woukd probably prefer a B and G Forward Scan, impossible to get atm. I have two Lowrance 3 in 1 and blown away by the imaging. I go into anchorages and believe it would be great to have the level of security in nit hitting a rock, especially in the dark. My boat is a Bavaria 44, 2 metre keel, any one see a peoblem in I using the transducers on it? Many thanks for sny advice! :-)
I had same transducer setup last year and had zero interference. I stagger the transducer so they each have their own space- they are not side by side and shooting the same water. One is in front of the other so I think that is key
You don't have to make any adjustments to how level the transducer is or its placement doing it this way it will always be level with how your boats sitting.
great video. I'd HIGHLY recommend against silicone anything for a boat. use 3M 5200 or 4200 polyurethane sealants instead. perhaps go a size bigger on your pilot drill bit. I like to use a screwdriver so I can feel how tight its getting. but I cringed when you said the screw was getting hot. your probably close to snapping a head off a screw at that point, and that's not fun to get out.
How about interference with the mega 360 and livescope? I have got some sonar interference from my mega 360 on my active target. Just wondering if you had any with the garmin. Thanks
360 interferes with both Active Target and Livescope. Getting them as far apart as you can helps a little. I’m trying some new things this year to help so we will see. I’ll do a video on it if it helps
How do you get optimal picture with the transducer flat on the bottom of the boat? For the crystals to be pointed down you need to have the transducer at the same angle as the boat sits in the water when you are idling...boats set nose high so the transducer cannot be parallel with anything on the bottom of the boat and give you the optimal picture.
Bass Cat makes the surface on that step portion parallel with the water so it works great. It’s nice when the people designing the boats actually fish.
