How Do You Install A Triple Shot Transducer?

What is a triple shot transducer?

The TripleShot Skimmer® Transducer features wide-angle, High CHIRP sonar with double the sonar coverage of most fish finders, plus SideScan and DownScan Imaging™, offering views beneath and to the sides of your boat.

How long is the TripleShot transducer?

The Lowrance TripleShot Skimmer Transducer works perfectly with the 5″, 7″, 9″, and 12″ HOOK2 units. Manufacturer model #: 000-14029-001.

What’s the difference between SplitShot and triple shot?

The “SplitShot” covers traditional sonar and identifies structure under the boat. “TripleShot” does all that plus DownScan and SideScan imaging. All can be mounted on the foot of a trolling motor, on the back of the transom, or inside the hull of a boat for a “shoot thru” application.

What is a bullet transducer?

The Bullet Skimmer Transom Mount Transducer is a wide Angle 200 khz Transom Mount Transducer for the HOOK2 4x Series Fishfinders.

Does Lowrance hook 2 have GPS?

Perfect for kayaks and boats with limited console space, the compact HOOK2 4x Bullet features proven Broadband Sounder™ and is available with a basic GPS plotter or as a sonar-only model.

What transducer comes with Lowrance hook 7?

SplitShot transducer
MORE SONAR VIEWS: The Lowrance HOOK2 7 comes complete with a SplitShot transducer which gives you DownScan sonar (straight down) and CHIRP sonar (fish arch) views.

Does the Lowrance HOOK2 7 have GPS?

FISH FINDER & GPS: The HOOK2 7 provides basic navigation with a GPS plotter that allows you to add waypoints, follow trails, and navigate.

Where is the best place to mount a transducer on a boat?

Transducer placement should be aft and close to the centerline. It needs to be located low enough that the transducer is in the water at all times. Consider items such as the lifting strap placement into the location as well as trailer bunks and rollers if it is a trailered vessel.

What side of a boat do you mount a transducer?

starboard side
DETERMINE THE TRANSDUCER MOUNTING ANGLE
The general rule of thumb is to mount the transducer to the starboard side, which is the down stroke of most single outboard boat propellers (right hand lower unit). This side produces the least amount of turbulence and is most efficient in delivering the best performance.

How low do you mount a transducer on a boat?

The transducer should be even with the bottom of the boat or slightly below the bottom. Leading edge (the edge closest to the transom of the boat). One click too high: the transducer is tilted out of the water and cannot maintain a sonar signal.

Can I mount my transducer backwards?

The transducers are calibrated and made to mount on the transom with a left and right but when mounting them on the bow of the boat left and right are reversed. If you mount the transducer as shown in Brian’s photo above, it should be oriented correctly.

Should I mount my transducer on my trolling motor?

Often, it is desirable to have the transducer mounted on the trolling motor, but this can be a difficult task.It is important that the transducer and the routing of the cable does not interfere with the trolling motors operation. You must route the cable so that it does not get pulled, cut or crushed.

Does it matter which way your transducer faces?

So the short answer is that no, it doesn’t matter which way you face the “front” of your transducer.. the read out is going to look just the same to you. You do, however, want the BOTTOM of your transducer to face as straight down as you can, within reason.

Will a split shot transducer work on a triple shot unit?

SplitShot: The SplitShot transducer provides traditional sonar that will track bait and mark fish. It will also provide DownScan Imaging to identify structure under your boat. The SplitShot transducer will work with any SplitShot or TripleShot Hook2 units.

What does a split shot transducer do?

Multiple Views – SplitShot transducer gives you DownScan sonar (straight down) and CHIRP sonar (fish arch) views. Wider Sonar Coverage – A wider sonar cone gives you double the coverage of traditional fish finders.

Can you network hook reveal?

The Hook2 and Hook Reveal series are not designed to be networked with other units. It is made for the angler that wants to fish with the basic features. To enjoy the benefits of networking, the Elite and HDS products are recommended.

How far should a transducer be in the water?

Ensure the boat is in water greater than 2′ but less than the depth capability of the unit and the transducer is fully submerged. Remember the sonar signal cannot pass through air. If the unit is working properly gradually increase the boat speed to test high-speed performance.

How does Lowrance GPS work?

GPS uses satellite ranging to triangulate your position.By locking onto a fourth satellite, the GPS can compute a 3D (three-dimensional) fix, calculating your altitude as well as your latitude/longitude position. In order to do this Lowrance uses a 12 parallel-channel receiver in all of its current products.

Can I upgrade my Lowrance transducer?

You can just buy new carbon head units and plug and play. If you want to upgrade to 3D, then you have new SS ducer and box to mount. Otherwise the way you have the HDS Gen2 mounted or set-up can easily be replaced with Carbon units, plugging into the same power/transducer/Ethernet/Structure Scan cables.

How do I know what Lowrance transducer I have?

Simply look at the transducer cable, about an inch from the connector. A silver tag is attached to the cable with the transducer model printed on it.
