Hobie LOWRANCE READY TOTAL SCAN
72020207 PLATE KIT, LOWRANCE READY TOTAL SCAN Since the release of the Lowrance TotalScan transducer, we’ve received a high demand from our customers for a Lowrance Ready mounting plate that accommodates this transducer. In response, Hobie and Lowrance teamed up to design a Lowrance Ready transducer plate specifically designed for the TotalScan transducer.
The Lowrance Ready TotalScan transducer plate leaves the transducer free of obstruction, allowing the side imaging technology to function with optimal performance while still providing protection against head-on collision damage. The Lowrance Ready mounting plate for TotalScan transducers works in conjunction with the plug-and-play Lowrance Ready System found on popular Hobie® fishing kayaks and is available now. $34.99

Is it for all Lowrance units that use the LSS or just the Elite models?

from navico
the total scan transducer is 83/200 kHz only . some guys prefer the 83/200 kHz. , but lets be real, most guys are running the 50/200 kHz. transducers. another thing pointed out was the vulnerability of the now more exposed plate. anyone want to comment? is anyone currently using side imagining with any amount of reasonable success? about 4-5 years ago i was running a hummingbird 898 si. that unit was the bomb. but the technology was different and the transducer was massive and came with too many drawbacks for kayak users.

I have the lss2 transducer its like 11 inches long, and i mounted it on the spare cassette when i am in single kayak mode instead of tandem.1. I can just pull it out when im landing.
Another way i have seen people mount it, its over the side using a transducer arm, or on the rear rail mount. Makes bait easier to find, since it scans the sides. WHen water gets choppy, the water transducer reading also get super choppy. i like it, is it necessary: no but its just another tool to have.... I have some waypoints back from 2010 that have moved a bit due to gps trajectory or what not.... i now use the side scan to see where it moved too...

Sorry, I thought this post was a joke. I had to verify on the Hobie website before I believed it.
The new plate looks like a normal Lowrance ready plate with a giant dildo going through it. Quote:

Nope, no gen2 support. You need a gen3 or higher to take advantage of the new total scan transducer.

Surf landing= damage
Hand launch using dock = damage Putting it on car rack = damage Landing it on boat ramp= hope you don't scratch to badly

Isnt the whole point of the plate to not cause damage to the unit? To me it looks stream line enough to not be a big deal. |

Thank you. Anyone else running these total scans? Worth the upgrade? I see the transducer by itself is around $300. Are they starting to sell these inside of new unit boxes yet? |

Would be a huge loss you need the sides of the transducer clear for sidescan
