Post subject:  Compass Side Imaging Fish Finder
Does anyone have a side imaging fish finder on the Compass? Do the left and ride side of the bottom hull interfere with the signal at all?

It appears in videos/pictures that the left/ride side of the bottom hull are slightly lower than the 2019 Outback but I'm not sure since I just have a Compass.

I'm looking into getting a Hummingbird Helix SI finder and using the BerleyPro mount.

I'm in the process of Installing a Lowrance HDS touch gen2 I was given. I'm installing the structure scan transducer on a RAM arm. This unit requires 2 transducers and I'll put the smaller one in the lowrance pod and the structure scan on an arm. Looking forward to trying it out.

If you mean to put the transducer in the transducer Lowrance ready hole, it won't work...

I installed the Lowrance Gen 2 7 touch and it works perfectly using the structure scan transducer on a ram arm. The smaller transducer installed into the Hobie Lowrance pocket perfectly. I don't need the structure scan when fishing the flats, so it's nice to be able to remove it when I don't need it.

Max, did you buy a different transducer 'cover' plate (with modified 'bulge')?

Or are you using the Compass factory transducer cover?

The Lowrance Tripleshot units are the easiest to install using Hobie parts. Here's the plate you need:

MOUNT KIT, TRIPLESHOT

BerleyPro has transducer mounts that adapt right over the Lowrance Ready cavities on Hobie kayaks for all other brands.

Hstrech, does that cover (protect) entire transducer, or does transducer stick out the back?
I'm looking at an hds7 carbon, but I've never used side scan before. I do a fair bit of dragging of my hull, though and am worried about anything lower than existing factory transducerducer cover
