[QUOTE="CoachFletch, post: 468218, member: 24058"] I'm perplexed as to whether or not my setup will allow me to replace my existing transducer with one that will give me side scan/imaging. I have a 14' long aluminum jon boat. The transom is 36" wide. I want to upgrade the black and white monitor fish finder I have that is accompanied by a transducer that has down imaging only. My desire would be to purchase a Hook 7 Fishfinder from Lowrance - https://www.lowrance.com/lowrance/type/fishfinders-chartplotters/hook2-7x-gps-tripleshot/ But, the Tripleshot Transducer - https://www.hodgesmarine.com/Lowrance-Tripleshot-Skimmer-Transom-Mount-Transd-p/low000-14029-001.htm?gclid=CjwKCAjwqZPrBRBnEiwAmNJsNp_5FHW5QWtlNb69rAdQbq-x4QH7QpWRTlHWoqTZLSLfyfkPSFN_yxoCz1kQAvD_BwE&click=19 - that would give me side scan is 11" long. I'm concerned that the lower unit of my outboard will interfere with the side scan beam of the transducer. Am I right to be concerned? If so, can you all recommend a solution or another fish finder that has a transducer that will work on my boat? Thanks in Advance! [/QUOTE]
