Structure scan HDS 7
In my best Aussie accent, "That's not a transducer, this is a transducer"
first for me setting up an HDS 7 with structure scan. Have the SS trans on an arm that will go of H Rail, assume the BB trans will go in Lowrance ready spot. Any one using this? how big of a battery needed? http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwegall...0/IMG_5752.JPG |
I know a guy who uses one. He uses the same battery 12v 18AMPH, for FF. Doesn't use it all day, just when he needs too. Has similar mount once done he lifts it right up out of water.

Had the same set up on my skiff. 12V 12Ah lasted all day.

Too much
I had an hummingbird 898 si (side image ) with the transducer mounted on a mad frog arm . Probably not as nice as a ram mount . Picture / unit was incredible . The transducer was huge . Had 4 elements inside . Narrow , wide , left , right. Personally I did not like it because the drag created is actually noticeable . I was on outback at time . On something sleek such as a paddle kayak like the ones you use , it might actually create enough drag to try and wind cock the kayak slightly . Just my opinion . Also dealing with kelp or debri in water . No thanks . PA yes , anything else is kinda pain in tail . Hope this helps .

Setting this up on a customer's PA14.......HDS 7 is above my pay grade:D

I would definitely recommend a 10ah plus lithium or 12ah if using an acid battery as I have killed my 7ah lion twice last weekend using the elite 7ti with sidescan and sonar logging running.

I'm too busy to do it but you'd think someone would have designed a generator or battery charger powered by the Hobie pedal system...
