FYI, you're not officially using CHIRP unless you switch to a chirp specific ducer, like an airmar B150M or TM150M. The HDI 50/200 is not a chirp ducer. There's a bunch of misinfo floating around about this. Lowrance claims any of their ducers work as chirp. Wrong. You need a sweeping frequency ducer to use CHIRP.

I just figured all this out myself. I'm using a HDS-7 gen3.

So the bad news is, If you want your downscan HD and you want true CHIRP sonar, you need to run 2 ducers.

I just put an Elite 7 transducer on my PA17 without modifications, should be plenty of room as long as it is the same mold.
