I installed a transducer on my new PA 14 yesterday...here are a couple of photos of the "Lowrance Ready" Hobie hull with the transducer attached to the cover plate.

I'd go with a Chirp version from Lowrance. It is using three frequencies, high, low and DSI. The high has a lot of detail, the low has less detail but removes the clutter and the DSI gives you the picture like images.

Thanks Jim,
I had been told at Fast lane that the transducer with the 5 ( 50/200 ) would not fit. But the smaller one that comes with the 4 are the ones that fit. That looks like one of the larger transducers though. Same size transducer well in the revolution as the PA ?
