Lowrance LSS-1 Transducer Mounting Help - 04/02/12 03:01 PM
I'm still struggling with my Lowrance LSS-1 transducer setup. I have a 98 Astro 1800. It as a tapered step that doesn't run the entire width of the boat. It is about 12" deep and about 14" wide at the deepest point. From there, it begins to taper towards the stern corners of the boat. I'm attempting to mount my transducer on the step but I'm afraid the sides of the step are causing interference. I'm currently using Gorilla Tape to temporarily mount the transducer so I can experiment before I make anything permanent. See below.
I've done my best to make sure the transducer is mounted exactly in the middle, but my structure scan traces show some imbalance.
In general the right side looks more washed out than the left. The red arrows denote a much wider, brighter line on the right than the left. The blue circles denote the generally constant washed out nature of the right side than the left. Note...this is more pronounced in shallow water. The green arrow marks some sort of dark lines. I'm not sure what any of this means. Suggestions are welcome.
