This is my first year with this boat and figure I would treat myself to a niceFF/GPS and went with the Lowrance Elite 7 with total scan transducer. I read the measurements of it,but was still shocked how big it was when it came,lol
The problem is the shape of the transom,as seen here....
I was hoping that I could have put it in the same spot where the old transducer is,but that just isnt going to happen. But looks like if I move is down around 6" or so "between the 2 supporting trailer beams in pic" I held it in place and moved the outdrive around and looks like its out of the way and shouldnt be a problem,Look good to you?
I was thinking on the far outside of the transom but heard that I would see water bubbles or something from the inner transom going through the water first? But if you have any advice from placement to installing,Please let me know before I start drilling
Also Im gonna put 5200 in the freshly screw holes. What should I do with the older screw holes once I remove the old transducer,Fill with marine tex be ok? Thanks!
