just ordered me a Hds10 gen2 LSS-2 structure scan but i'm thinking about ordering another to put upfront of the boat. what are my options or what do yall recommend? should i put the transducer on trolling motor or are there other options?

You can put the ducer either place. I started out with 1 hds8 and put it at the console. I got a deal on another one and put it on the bow. I etherneted both through the lss bow and really liked to see it up front but finding and fishing stuff was hard to do so I added another lss unit and ducer. In my opinion that is the perfec world because I can see side and down from the front or the back.

Wish I could do that.

I am about to add a HDS-7 Gen2 Touch and a HDS-5 Gen2......and network them.

Congrats on your HDS-10.......I would get a second HDS-10.......but I like things to be the same.

Good luck.

Absolutely put it on the trolling motor! When you turn the motor, you have the ability to see 360 degrees.

I have the Hds 8 on the bow and an Hds 10 at the console. I think the 8 being smaller works better at the bow and has the same resolution. Each one has their own side imaging transducer networked together. They wok great shallow oe deep.
