Lowrance HDS8 + LSS1 - how and where to install it on a boat ?

[grzegorzss]

Hallo,
I want to buy HDS8 i LSS-1 and I have sevral ask ?

- Can I connect for one accumulator sonar HDS and LSS-1?
- That is minimal and maximum distance between transducer HDS but transducer LSS-1
- Where I can install transducer sonar HDS(83/200)(“A”) and transducer LSS1(“B”), picture below. If you can give number from 1 to 6.
- I would be thankful, if it is possible to indicate place on my boat from 1 for 6 (picture below), where it is possible to install transducer sonar HDS ( 83/200 ) ( „A” ) and transducer LSS1 ( „B” )




I swim on exhaust engine 9,9 kM

I thank you to help.

You can put a transducer on each side of the motor, 2 & 5. They do not need to be side by side just on the same plane and reading the same bottom at the same time.

the only downside to spreading the HDS transducer and the LSS one is that if you use the downscan overlay feature they may not align exactly - but as said by someone else, you are somewhat constrained in what you have to work with. Lowrance recommends mounting them both within 1 foot - you may be able to get both at 2 OR 5.

I just installed a HDS 10 & LSS1 on my Skeeter ZX22V two weeks ago. I would recommend 3 & 5. Just make sure they are level and do not follow the deadrise of the hull. Good luck

I spoke with Lowrance at the AC show about this. They told me to mount one one each side of the motor. At least 12" away from the motor and it would be fine. I can only assume the tech I spoke with knew what he was talking about..
