| following removing the old transducer i will probably use the SI transducer for my 798HD
that i will fit in dash and just wanted to be sure it would work epoxied in the hull. i know that i won't see SI and DI but on that unit it is so small screen that i don't think i will mind and i bought that sounder used and there could be a problem with si i think . |

| If you have an area large enough and have no air bubbles in your epoxy it should work for 2d and di |

| If your moving faster than 7-8 mph di doesn't return enough signal to work just so you know. So you can't image while on plane. |

| 2d will work as long as it has clean water underneath it. No rivets, no strakes( can't have air bubbles). And it's flattish to the horizon. My 2d works to 67mph then to 75 I would guess I don't have clean enough water underneath. My ducer is 1" I front of my drain plug. If your doing this first I would say let some 10 gallons of water in the bilge and check locations before you epoxy have a friend hold it and get on plane. |

Location: MN | You could mount the included SI transducer on the transom so that it is in the water while off-plane (fishing) so you get SI and DI then. Since these are lower speed sonar applications, it is okay if it is a little higher on the transom when paired with a thru hull transducer (XP 9 20) and transducer Y cable (AS SIDB Y). With this combo you will get high speed depth and quality SI and DI while fishing. |
