    HDS-9 Live 3 in 1 Transducers

    Hey all with the upcoming sales I am looking to get 2 Lowrance HDS-9 Live units for my brand new Crestliner XF179

    Want one for the console and the other for the bow.

    Will I be able to get the 3 in 1 Transducer mounted on a 24v Minnkota Maxum?

    If so does it come with the hardware and mounting stuff for a trolling motor mount?

    If not what other transducer would be compatible with the HDS-9 Live unit that would fit on the trolling motor?


    I know I could just go with a cheaper/smaller/older Graph and Transducer on the bow but I would like to go with the HDS-9 Live because it is they top Lowrance out at the moment and I plan on adding a Lowrance Ghost trolling motor in the future so going with the HDS-9 Live I would be already setup perfect for when I add the Ghost. Just want to make it work in the meantime.

    Quick answer is NO, it does not come with trolling motor mounting hardware. You could just get an HDI transducer and mount that on the TM with a band clamp which would give you Down and 2D sonar for now.

    You don't need a 3 n1 on t.m. the console will share ducer from transom. use front graph for mapping and A.T

    I think the 3-1 will be too long, although it could be mounted. I ran a LSS-1 on my Fortrex with US2. I liked having side scan up there, if my way point was off a little, I could find the bed I was looking for with side scan. I now have a ghost with AT 2 on a powered pole I made, if I'm off a little the AT 2 finds the bed.
