    hds8 transducer upgrade?

    I am thinking of upgrading my transducer (skimmer 83/200). Does anyone have recommendations for a through-hull? My current one was accidently broken and fixed but still isn't 100% like it was.

    Lowrance hds8 gen 2 not marking fish at higher speeds

    got out this weekend with the transducer lower in the water and had the correct transducer selected from the internal menu. While I still don't get great returns (or what I would call good), It was improved and I can mark some bait schools and fish up to about 12 mph.

    Lowrance hds8 gen 2 not marking fish at higher speeds

    made some small adjustments in the settings; picked a different ducer from the list, and reset the fishing mode. I also moved the transducer down quite a bit to try that. I have the line where the plastic halves connect just below the lower edge of the hull. I may have to bring the ducer up a...

    Lowrance hds8 gen 2 not marking fish at higher speeds

    for anyone still interested, here is a quick sketch I did of the mounting location. I tried mounting the ducer on the cleanest part of the hull that I could (besides at the bottom of the transom step. there is nothing to break water flow outside of the area behind the v, its just smooth hull...

    Lowrance hds8 gen 2 not marking fish at higher speeds

    I haven't tried to play with the transducer as I don't think I need to. I have it set up as per manufacturer's specs, and Its not my first go-round with them either. If anyone has any other suggestions I would appreciate hearing them. The fish won't be around forever and I would like to have...

    Lowrance hds8 gen 2 not marking fish at higher speeds

    Hey everyone, I have had this unit for a couple of months now, and still can't seem to figure out why I am not marking fish/bait at speeds above 8 mph. When going slow or just drifting it is marking very well, It may be just a setting i need to change but I am not positive. The structure scan...

    2013 21 se transom mounting transducers?

    Thanks for the replies. Warthog, could you elaborate on why it will not work, too turbulent,out of water, etc? Poge, I am assuming yours are mounted on a step, or no? This past weekend, I went out and have the skimmer mounted on the step as I noted above in...

    electronics mounting options?

    Wanted to update and close out the thread. I ended up flush mounting the hds 8 near the top of the console and flush mounting the vhf just below it. Seems to have come out pretty decent. If I have any issues after using it, I'll be sure to let you know. Also as an fyi to anyone trying to...

    2013 21 se transom mounting transducers?

    Hi everyone, I just got a new 21 se and am going to be installing transom mount transducers for a lowrance hds unit with side scan. I was wondering about mounting the regular transducer on the stepped transom as well as installing the structure scan underneath the step, has anyone done this...

    electronics mounting options?

    Got some pics off parkers website. My main question was about the viewing angle and the ability to use the lowrance unit if I flush mounted it left of the console box and on the open fiberglass section below the compass. I am a little concerned that it may be difficult to interact with once I...

    electronics mounting options?

    Hey everyone, I just got a new 21 se and am currently working on how to rig up my lowrance hds 8 on the console. I originally wanted to flush mount it on the console, but while test fitting, It seems like it is going to be mounted too low and too shallow of an angle to optimize its...
