Bought a HDS 7 gen 2 touch a week ago and mounted it on the front of my boat.

Put the transducer on the trolling motor.

 

Bought a HDS 7 Gen 3 touch yesterday and in process of mounting it on my 1996 Gambler 201 GE  bass boat.

On the transducer would you mount it on the back of the boat ? Or shoot it threw the hull ?

 

Does this unit loose the bottom easily when you get on plane ?

 

And the Structure transducer. I'm really having a hard time trying to figure out where to put it.

The setback on my boat underneath it is concave so you can't mount the Structure transducer flat on the setback of the transom.

 

Appreciate any help

 

Thanks.

I shoot my transducer through the hull and have no problem with it... If you have a jackplate I would mount that on the plate.

x2 on what jco said. I've got a gen 2 touch and have no issues losing bottom contact with the external transducer into the low 50's. Obviously a Gambler is going to be running faster than that. I would probably run one through the hull though. I tried a quick google search to find out what your transom looks like, but there aren't very good pics so if you up load a few here, we might be able to find you a good spot for you lss-2.

I have the Structure transducer mounted under the jack plate to the transom. 

I have the sonar transducer mounted to the right bottom side of the transom.
