V18 side image location

[Catchbass]

Ideas where to mount side image transducer on Tracker V18..Has no jackplate.

[Great Scott]

I saw a HB SI Transducer installed to the transom on the drivers side
of a 1875 Lund Bass. I was told the motor in the down position wouldnt
intrafer w/the read. I dont see how that is possible, but I will be faced
w/the same situation once my boat arrives.
My current boat has it on the JP. LDS

Thanks Larry..Im like you i dont see how it could see port side correctly with motor down..I remember you having v18.did you or anyone have any experience running grapgh unit wiring from front, console to back of boat..appears a chore from feeling around etc.

Whats your new boat?..you still got those Jewel triggers?

[Great Scott]

Yep, still in Jewell trigger business. New boat will be the Bass 1875 Lund.
My TV18 has a HDS 12 at the console and Two Elte 7s on the bow,
all connected. We took the console a loose from the floor in order
to feed the cables to the front. We used an old throttle cable to
feed the cables from the transom to the console(2 transducer and a Point 1 Cable).
These boats were not designed to add all the extra electronics available today.

Well if that hull has a step I did my Lowrance SI like this. After looking everywhere and finding some other people online had done the same. Works and you will have to slightly trim the motor up a little. Like other people I put mine on the port side and reused holes from factory or dealer install. Like I said working I hope photo loads

Here's the location of the transducers for my Garmin SV and DVunits.

Do you have to have you engine trimmed up slightly
for the SI to read to the port side??? LDS

Just slightly and I get good side view images.
