[QUOTE="Jonboat Jerry, post: 297140, member: 6334"] Jonny, You asked the question earlier about the side scan working with the motor trimmed down. The answer is yes. Side Scan and Structure Scan have a very narrow appetures. The left and right beams on the HB Ducer are 86 degrees in the vertical plane (from the surface to straight down) but only 1 or 2 degrees wide in the horizontal plane allowing the ducer to shoot through the slot between the transom and the motor. [img]https://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg261/JerrySweet/DSC003322.jpg[/img] The only critical feature is positioning the ducer just far enough away from the motor to prevent noise interference. [img]https://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg261/JerrySweet/DSC003312.jpg[/img] I have had a HB 798ci SI and liked having everything in one compact unit, even the ducer had everything for 2d, Down imaging and Side Scan. I have since sold the 798 and traded up to a HB1197c SI and these tired old eyes really appreciate the 10" screen. Hope this helps, Jerry [/QUOTE]
