I personally have a HDS 7 and it is great. But personlly I'd like to switch to a dragonfly 7 due to the structure scan which cost too much to add to lowrance...

Dragonfly. It's like watching the fish bite your lure!!!
My lowrance freaks out in 4' of bay water covered with grass.
Dragonfly shows the fish in the grass!

Oooo I just looked up the gen 3. I think I might sell my gen 2 and grab a gen 3 when they come out. Just where to put all 3 transducers on a pro angler 14. Guess you could do the thru hull chirp and broadband and put the big structure scan just on the bottom where the cart won't hit it. Anyone want to buy a HDS7 gen 2

That new gen 3 looks sweet but over 1k? That's some serious coin.

If you click on the package deals it shows the standard transducers . 83 and 50 kHz. It's one transducer and the structure scan lss2 . P.s. If you figure out a way to mount the Lss 2 , let me know please .

I haven't seen the lss2 in person but knowing the size if you were to use 2 thru hull one for chirp and one for broadband on the two flat sides adjacent to the lowrance ready area on the pro angler and put the lss2 in the middle and route the cable up thru the lowrance ready area that would work, just would have be careful with the big transducer there. And to the people thinking were crazy trying to put all these expensive electronics on our yaks, its still cheaper to have a yak than a boat

Structure scan or down scan transducers ( including the lss 2 )need to be in the water .
