rvrrat14 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Pathfinder 2200V Wanting to mount a Lowrance LSS-2 for my Gen 2 Touch. Want a clean, unobstructed location where I can get good side images all the way out, as well as down. This looks like a very good place. I like it because it seems to be protected. Don't like hanging things outside the boat. Already have replaced my in-hull 2D transducer with a in-hull PD-WBL. Thoughts? Experiences? Thanks!

Miss Jazzy Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 your pic didn't load but I suspect that your talking about mounting in the "pocket"? If so yes it will work in there but only at idle or very low speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrrat14 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Yes. Trying to fix the pic now. I have a in-hull for high speed/2D use....just want the Lss-2 for trolling, low speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrrat14 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Not smart enough to figure this pic thing out. Years ago I had zero problems posting pics. I think you got it nailed, I want to mount it in the pocket just to the starboard of the drain plug and up enough that the LSS-2 is above the hull bottom so it won't get struck, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmckh Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I have mine mounted on the starboard side of my 23hps and have no issues with my side scan in either direction. I have it as low as I can away from the motor without hanging below the hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrrat14 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Thanks. Is that inside the pocket or just on the transom area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmckh Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Inside the pocket but the pocket on the 2300 is different from the 2200 due to the transom extension for the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrrat14 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Just for information purposes; Spoke with Lowrance and they inform the LSS-2 does not shoot straight out the sides. To keep notice down, they shoot slightly down a few degrees on each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im wanting to upgrade mine but for the life of me i cant see where they mounted it. MBC mounted mine inside the hull. A bit forward of the bilge pump, almost impossible to remove. Mine went bad, so I bought a new unit and upgraded the in-hull transducer. Per HOBO, I mounted mine about 2 inches starboard of the bilge pump. I get a super clean signal there at ALL speeds. My next job is to get a LSS-2 and mount it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinbill85 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm getting one to hook up to my Simrad Nss7 evo2. I like the way it looks and functions in that pocket, looks completely out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I had the stock Garmin bracket fail at speed, went back with Transducer Shield spring bracket and Armor plate Transducer Shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classic1900v Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I mounted the Garmin Side Scan Transducer in the pocket on my 1900V. No issues thus far, and reads down/side view cruise speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrrat14 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I mounted mine actually right above the drain plug where the mount will go all the way up to the beginning of the step. Here are some images today. First time on water since install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
