Title: Skeeter LSS2 transducer mounting
Post by: Rhino81 on May 23, 2018, 01:04:57 AM

Just for info as I found it hard to find a lot of good pictures or write up on mount the LSS2 transducer on my 1996 skeeter zx300c

I used a stren saver mount that epoxies to Hull.  Then attached transducer mount to that to avoid more holes in my hull and get a good centered mounting location that was protected enough to my liking without interference from motor.


Here are pictures of install hope this help anyone looking for ideas.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180523/f30e98fd1c4eb893b88d282b3d5eff02.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180523/654ba46865a75750e8cf7bbff55c5032.jpg)

Looks like you found a good spot and attaching plan.  :thumbup:

One thing - I'd look at shortening up that ducer cord loop as much as possible. Keep from hooking on on a stick up unknownst to you. Best case scenario is hard time getting off it and being a REAL pain to get to from the boat... Worst case tearing something up not realizing.

I would feel your pain.  (whew)

Wow if that is a 96 boat, someone has been doing a lot of TLC.  The under side looks practically new.

I Didn’t think I wanted to bend the cable to sharply so I looped it like that so far it it has not hung up on anything. 

Shorten it up a bit shouldnt be an issue

Yeah it was my uncles boat and he took extremely good care of it.  Hopefully I can keep that up and make it last another 20plus years

Just the fact that you're aware of how well it was taken care of is a plus, since it inspires and motivates you to do the same  :thumbup:
