    Lowrance SI Transducer Question. Should I Change?

    Currently using a LSS 2 with my gen 3 units. Never been overly impressed with the side scan. Would it be worth the money to upgrade to a Active Imaging 3-1 or go to the 3D. Haven’t never seen much about the 3D module and transducer on here. Leaning towards the AI 3-1. What’s everyone’s thoughts?

    You would need to upgrade to carbon or live to run the 3 in 1/ 2 in 1. 3d units are nice and going for cheap these days. That will run with your gen 3s.

    There is a few threads that give a good comparison on 3d vs AI

    After looking on the Lowrance website the AI 3-1 may not be compatible with a Gen 3. Anyone know about that?

    Ai 3 in 1 is not compatible with HDS Gen 3. You best option is StructureScan 3D. And if SideScan is important to you, yes it is worth the upgrade by a mile.
