Hello,

About to buy a lowrance hds 12 and wanted to know what else I need to buy with it? Ether net cables? Best mount for it? Anything else you can recommend for me? Thank you

I assume you're getting the bundle with 2D transducer and LSS2
In addition
Point 1 with NMEA network for sure if you fish offshore a lot anyway

If you are not linking with another unit at this time don't need e-net cables if you are then yes you'll need one

Mount, lots of options, depends on where you are going to mount it, I just used the stock mounts for mine and suits me well, you need to make that choice. There are ram mount options as well several custom options are available

You need a structure scan transducer. If it doesn't come with one, don't pay the $299. I have a good used one for 1/2 that.
