I recently purchased a HDS Gen 2 with structure scan and I have a question on installation. I have a 1999 Ranger 681. I'd like to install the structure scan transducer under the step mount or jack plate. Problem is my current 2D transducer is mounted on the bottom of the transom. I want to limit the number of holes that have been drilled. I've read that the SS ducer should be below the 2D transducer and it also should be within a foot of the transducer. I don't want to be drilling multiple holes so I'm seeking some advice on where to put the SS transducer.

I went one last time yesterday afternoon with a friend for a few hours. We each got one, and we each missed one. Raised about 20 birds at four spots, plus one deer. Unfortunately, the season is now over.
It was a superb season though. Second best season I've had with this dog. She just had her 13th season. I hope she can do it again next year.
I'll be sorting my sock drawer now for a couple months...
He can have this one! Haha! We shoulda maybe stayed on top in 14 but we could see the bottom so clearly and it was shallower than we really wanted. The quick deeper water check yielded perch and pike right away, so we moved. Caught plenty before dark, now pretty quiet.
I have a hunch the bay WILL fish shallower than the main lake we’re used to.
16 inches of good ice out here.
