So I am reading that the 50/200 transducer will fit in the Lowrance ready cover plate? Is this without any modifications? I have been hearing conflicting answers. Some say that it will fit and some say only the smaller 83/200 transducer will fit.
thanks,
Ron

That was my number #1 concern when I took it to OEX. When they installed it they said it fit fine with no modifications . Can't beat there price also $20 bucks

I'm thinking about getting the Elite 7 DSI so I spoke w/ technician at Lowrance. He confirmed that 83/200 transducer is good choice for shallow water saltwater application and choice b/w ducers has more to do w/ depth than anything else. I'm going to get one w/ the 83/200 ducer based upon his info feedback from others who used it.

Tech seems to believe that all the ducers (including the HDI versions) will fit in PA now, so I was in fact mistaken. I guess the HDI ducers are smaller now or I hallucinated seeing larger ones in past.
