I don't have a PA, but I know the 50 is significantly larger. I've owned both of those lowrance ducers.

I could be wrong

I went to bass pro and matched up the 50 to the bottom cover of lowrance ready bracket . It did not look like it was gonna happen. Now that I spent a small fortune on the yaks , they will probably come out with a new version next year that will accommodate the down scan and larger transducers , possibly the dragonfly . . It never ends . I did buy an extra cover from dealer for 8 bucks give or take , and jig sawed it out , so the down scan has a direct view . I will take a few pictures and post , has anyone else done this ? Basically I have no degradation of signal .

You are WRONG!

50/200 transducer mounts just fine in the Lowrance ready slot.

Nice set of tools

Not that 50 / 200 ful-rac . The hybrid 50 / 200 400 / 800 . They call it hybrid because if has down scan integrated . It is even bigger than that one . Without shaving and filing , I think it is slightly too big to make it fit . Again , correct me , if wrong .

Yes that one, you are right will not fit. Im sure in the next model PA will accommodate the newer style.

But in the meantime the HDS still rocks! and it fits!

I had the same idea a year ago and went one step further to get side imaging to work.
