    HDS 8 Transducer Installation

    My new Lowrance HDS 8 arrivSANY1568.jpged today ,man that thing is big i cant wait to hook it up that screen is like a small TV. I have provided some pics that im hoping will help ,SANY1570.jpg just need some advice please were should i mount everything,I am hoping i can use some of the existing holes ,if i cant not to worry i have some MARINE CEMENT .I need some expert advice as the Structure scan is only splash proof i dont want it out in the rain ,i was thinking up were the anchor rope is stored,as the anchor is not stored under there it will be safe .Or under the pannel at the stern if the box will fit there as i have not bought it yet im not sure of the size.And what about the transducers ,as im waiting on my motor its not in the pics .
    Cheers Rob

    Hey Rob,

    I'm a long way from an expert on boat stuff but here is where mine sit, works perfect.

    for mounting, perhaps fit one of these into the front bench on the face, this is a live bait tank but something similar ?

    if it were me I wouldmake upm a small box/console big enough to mount the sounder on and the modual inside maybe room for a set of keys and sunnies. I would mount that to the seat to your starboard down low. this would keep it all dry and may give a little more storage, you could use starboard or ply and paint it.

    OK the first pic shows the angle when on the first click.
    Num 2 shows the angle with no clicks.
    Num 3 shows the straight edge and the tranny flush with the bottom of the boat.
    The last is were i think the LSS should be mounted.
    I have the attachment block fixed,
    What are you guys thoughts please how does it look to you .Should i make any adjustments,as i dont have a motor as yet ,but in the next week or so then ill be able to give it a water test.I have a splash guard on order to so that will fixe any excesive rooster tailing.
