Can the included transducer be mounted to read "through-hull" instead of mounting it on the transom?

according to the namual, yes, it can be mounted to work thru hull. However, it can not work through any core material. You have to bore down to the outer layer of fiberglass, epoxy the transducer to the outer hull, then fill in the hole with sufficient material and glass to return the hull to at least its original thickness. I opted to mount it on the transom.

Yes, on the transom or just about anywhere that you can get the edge of the boat inside the clamp. Really works good when mounted near the bow of the boat. Makes the boat more manuverable.

No, the "in hull" transducer is mounted (I siliconed mine) inside the hull in your bilge area. The "through hull" transducer you have to drill through the fiberglass and mount the sensor for contact with the water.

Yes yes and if you are mounting it on the bottom of a boat yes. It comes with bracket and screws for transducer and mount with screws for unit.

I don't know, Roy, the same transducer works on some different models, though. May have to talk with a service rep @ Lowrance.

Yes. But there is a few options you should look at. 1- downscan, It's a little more but great to have. 2- The length of your boat. Measures your distance of the transducer mount and your display monitor. 3- if you need a cable extention, look for the right model and pr options. Good luck.

There is just one transducer to do it all. I purchased the trolling motor transducer mount, and it worked awesome.

Hey Glen, Probably not, unless your existing transducer has side-imaging capability along with down imaging. The mounting & transducer appearance may look identical, but the interior electronics can be totally different. Check out the model #'s or part # to see if they are the same on both transducers. My guess is you'd be best off changing the transducer & possibly use the existing mount if you want. Sincerely, Terry & Good Luck.

It does not come with a transducer. I called Lowrance Factory Outlet and ordered one from them. It's a transom mount and costs about $85.

Wire to the fish finder is molded. I can't tell what transducer set up uou have here. It may have wire to the battery which is not (2 open wires)

Yes, but you can only have a few options. The transducer needs to be in the water in order to work.

There is a sonar imaging system called structure but using structure does not physically move the transducer so I'm thinking you are asking if there is a breakaway to the mounting if an object was to scrap of knock against the transducer.? It would really depend on what angle it was hit. The mounting bracket it comes with is metal the length of the transducer then hinged and extends three more inches.

Is no such thing no more. HB will sale you a kit to mount the standard transducer to your Troll motor. Is well built, SS. I have one mounted on my Motorguide

Thank you so much for your quick response. I just purchased the Elite 7 HDI Gold and then decided to research after the purchase. A little backwards I know. One more quick question if I may. Where is a good place to install the "inside the hull" transducer?

No, through hull requires a special transducer, this machine does not support the type of transducer needed.

I'm not 100 percent sure, I bought my boat from a friend that already had the 598 installed that he wanted to keep so I just bought the same one and only used the head and gave him the transducer and all. But we were talking one day about upgrading to a larger depth finder and he mentioned mounting the transducer inside because this particular boat was so hard to mount on the outside

Yes it does come with a transom mount transducer. I suggest you get the one with lake insight.
