installing the following.
2-hds 7's,,,one on the bow and one on the console
structure scan module.

I am going to mount the transducer for the bow mount to the trolling motor and the one for the console to the transom.

i have a transducer board on my transom..should i mount the sc xducer lower than the hds xducer or vice versa?

can the panel under the console be removed so i can mount the sc module in there to keep it safe?

I also have no clue where to route the wiring in this boat as far as running network cables for the hds and transducer cable.

Mount the StructureScan ducer the same level as the others, might get a little spray, but you can adjust a little, but it should be very similar to the other ducers.

The module is weather proof, anywhere under your console will work.

As for networking cables, only way you can do that is bring them through underneath the deck somehow, haven't heard of a lot of guys doing that though so I can't give you much help there.

This a photo of a GC gunnel. Do your gunnels look like this? Or does the firberglass form a "cap" at the top of the gunnel?

I wonder if I take the panel off under the console in front of where u sit if there is a tube or channel to run wire to the front of the boat and I could put the structure scan in there so it doesn't get stolen

Well I got the console unit and the structure scan mounted up and connnected. I messed around with running the netowrk cable to the bow and haven't found a route yet
