    I know this not what you are asking but you can connect with a network cable to your rear HDS 12 and use downscan rear mounted transducer. You wouldn't be displaying and image of what is under your trolling motor. I use a split screen image on my front mounted HDS 12 with the sonar on the trolling motor and downscan from the rear mounted transducer. So I see the brush with the sonar and then as the rear of the boat passes over, I get the detailed downscan view. Not perfect but works.

    I did a little searching and you can use the Lss-2 structure scan transducer mounted on a trolling motor adapter. The picture that I saw posted had the sonar transducer also mounted on the adapter plate. Note that you would use the downscan function only. The side scan function wouldn't display correctly unless you had the boat moving fast enough. Lowrance does have some combo DI 83/200 transducers but I am not sure they will work with your HDS-12 unit.

    I have an HDS 9 Gen 2 on the front with an HDI transducer. The HDI transducer gives me both 2d and downscan on the trolling motor.

    Would the total scan transducer work with touch units mounted to the TM?
