Does anyone know if this would work or not?
Any other solutions for installation or will I need different transducer alltogether.
I don't want to install transducer outside of hull.
Any suggestions if HDI transducer vs Active Imaging™ 2-in-1 + Mid/High Skimmer as alternative transducers.
Thanks for any help/input

I purchased the Triple shot transducer cover from BerleyPro which will fit the totalscan transdcuer. I was not happy with the product because it actually made the the transducer sit father under the kayak hull allowing it to drag more. After a few beach launches I almost wore a hole in the new cover. I reverted back to the originally supplied plate that came with my kayak. I would not recommend the BerleyPro cover. By the way, the lowrance ready plate that came with the 2014 model year is different than 2017 plate. The newer plate is cut out to allow the totalscan transducer to fit. I would recommend the newer cover with the totalscan transducer as your best option. I also have the newer 3-1 transducer and I could not get it to install properly, at least not without trying to modify the cover. I believe what deterred me from trying to mount the 3-1 transducer was the fact that it would sit farther out under the hull. This is a bad idea and will destroy your transducer in no time. Look into purchasing the head unit barebones if possible and and pair it up with the totalscan transducer. Either that or upgrade to the new guardian transducer plate.
. I believe this to be one of the best lowrance combinations that you could run. Hope this information helps.
