[QUOTE="varnco, post: 438086, member: 14014"] I have a tracker 185 boat, and upgrading its 2003 graph with a new Helix 5 with DI, SI. The transducer is bigger than the old one, and before punching anymore holes in the transom (5 holes already for previous/current transducers), I was hoping someone has already installed a humminbird with SI on a tracker... to see where they mounted it. I would like to get depth readings at faster speeds if possible (that I don't get today) and of course, like to get the SI working, so the motor being in the way may be a problem. You can see the old location holes in this shot and see it's stepped and there is a rail next to the bunker board that would likely interfere at faster speeds [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20170704_205319-1248x1664.jpg"]93367._xfImport[/ATTACH] Side shot so you can see the spacing available and how the motor will likely get in the way for SI when it's trimmed in. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20170704_202045-1248x1664.jpg"]93366._xfImport[/ATTACH] Just another shot so you can see how the existing transducer is attached. I [u]don't [/u]get high-speed depth readings (20+MPH) [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20170704_202000-1248x1664.jpg"]93365._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
