1 Humminbird single HDSI transducer on a Crestliner 1750 TS. This installation was good for high speed images and depth readings. It took quite a lot of tweaking to get it to function, but it was possible.
2 Full speed Side Imaging and depth on Crestliner with single HDSI transducer.
3 Single HDSI transducer on Skeeter. Note the difference between images on right and left. This is why I went to twin transducers.
4 Twin transducers on Skeeter WX1850 give clear left and right imaging, and 2D sonar depth at full speed.
5 Single HDSI transducer on a Skeeter WX 1850. This installation gives you high speed depth and imaging. Imaging to the left is compromised by turbulence coming off the bottom of the boat, si I added a second HDSI transducer in the exact same spot on the left. With the AS SI LR splitter cable, the right side transducer crystals send right side imaging, and 2D sonar information and nothing else. The left side transducer sends left side imaging information and nothing else. The white shims are made from transducer board material with the top layer a base layer, and the second layer has a 7 degree "dado" in it to tilt the transducer into a level position. It is mounted to a height that the center of the transducer planes with the bottom of the boat. Same thing on the left side transducer.
6 Closer look at positioning of HDSI ducer.
7 HDSI side view
8 Onix transducer mounted in same position as HDSI.(with different Transducer Shield and Saver bracket). This looks like it should perform as well as the HDSI, but it does not at this time.
9 Onix below and HDSI mounted just to get it out of the way until I decide if I like the Onix or not. :)
10 HDSI on left, and above on step.(not connected to anything at this point in time) and new Onix on bottom right position.
11 I do not have any high speed images to show at this time for the Onix transducer, because I don't have any....yet.
