TX Flats Fisher Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Team Hewes, I just purchased a Garmin 93sv UHD. It came with a transducer. Do you have any suggestions on where to mount it and did you use a “stern pad”? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shallowminded6 Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Where did you end up mounting it? Did you use a stern saver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizumz Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 I'm also very interested, I just picked up the same unit with the SideView and I plan on mounting it next to the right trim tab where my old transducer was... but I fear I'll get too much interference from the outboard's lower unit as it's not on a bracket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I mounted mine. Seems to be working well. Bought the stern saver to mount it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I'm out I'm going to play with the trim on the motor, should help a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be part of your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be part of your problem It's not on the port side, it's installed on the starboard side, just like your image. I'm getting interference from the engine looking out the port side of the ducer, I didn't word that properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltySouth Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Sorry to highjack. I love the idea of the stern saver. I ordered one that claimed you can mount large side scan transducers to it. Trouble is, this thing is huge, bigger than your hand! I have the simrad total-scan transducer which I guess really isn't that big. Do I need the standard size stern saver? Going on an 18 light tackle in the same spot as the picture above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious, what'd you end up doing? I saw someone on the board mount their ducer in the pocket, just to the right of the drain hole, considering relocating mine there.

SaltySouth Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Wizums, I copied Shallowminded6 and put the stern saver just left of the starboard trim tab. I bought the large stern saver but it was just too big. I had to trim it, round it, and route it to get it to fit right. I ran the ducer cable into the splashwell and into the rigging tube with the shift cables and harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
