    UBP skid plate wtih HB transducer

    Does anyone have a picture of a UBP skid plate with the HB SI transducer mounted to the plate? I just got my top and bottom plates in today and I'm not sure how to mount the transducer. It is the plate with the lss mount welded to the bottom.

    Thanks,
    Keith

    Good question as I am about to tackle this myself. Seems like there is a bracket needed for the bird to adapt to the LSS plate?

    I'll see what I can find out

    Thank you sir. I bought the plates through Steve at Hydro Dynamics. They got here in a couple of weeks and look great, I'm just not sure about mounting the transducer. Please let me know what you find out.

    I had to drill holes with mine on my old boat. The bracket mounts to the front of the welded mount if it is the same. Call me tomorrow and I can talk you thru it.

    I've just mounted 2 HB transducers to a Lowrance UBP skidplate using Tranducers Savers.

    I'll get a pic tomorrow and post it.

    Transducer shield and saver with one of their wedges is how I mounted mine.

    Did you try yours without the wedges first?

    I'm curious as I did not use them...yet.

    There is a bracket for the Onyx or Solix transducer because it is different than the Helix from what I am being told.

    I ended up ordering a Transducer Shield and Saver mount with a wedge just in case.

    Thanks Tim, I'm still running the 898 with the HXS 9 HDSI 180T. I don't know if they mount the same.
