    The totalscan would need to mounted as a skimmer to pic up 2D depth reading when on pad. On a high speed bass hull this is typically tuff to do with such a large transducer. Many here on the boards have had problem's with them coming off and literally flying on to the back deck (extreme case).

    I would recommend if you are getting an Elite Ti get the one with the Y cable Kit. This allows the for separate 2D (HST-WSBL) and LSS-2 transducers.
    With this setup you can mount the LSS-2 up higher free from obstruction and mount the 2D transducer (that is much smaller) as a skimmer.

    The Totalscan and LSS-2 are identical as far as SS images.

    What Lowrance model unit are you looking at? There are many options out there currently and different transducers.
