[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 287981, member: 4251"] You can mount the SI ducer on the TM, but since the TM is your only source of power/control on the boat, the SI picture will be distorted whenever you move the TM (and in turn the ducer). The SI portion would do better if you would mount it on the transom, or figure out a way to mount it close to the front but not on the TM itself. One guy in another forum makes a gps puck mount that works similar to a TM base, but is designed for gps pucks. Might could go that route, the xducer would not be spinning as much, (only with the boat) and the picute would probably be better Lowrance units have 2 transducers, one for 2d and the the LSS for SS/SI, while HB has only one xducer. If you go with Lowrance, mount the 2d xducer on the TM, and the LSS 1 on the transom, the cords are long enough. If you go HB, try it, it might work for you. The Lowrance LSS-1 xducer is a big sucker, and the newer LSS 2 is even bigger. [/QUOTE]
