Mounting the LSS-1

The  LSS-1  can  be  mounted  under  the  dash,  in  the  rod  locker  or  in  the  battery 

compartment. Select a mounting location that will protect the LSS-1 from standing 

water. 

To mount the LSS-1:

 Make sure the transducer cable is long enough to connect to the 

1. 

LSS-1  from  the  desired  transducer 

mounting  location.  If  the  20’ 

transducer cable is not long enough, 

a 10’ extension cable is available (part 

number: 000-00099-006).
 Place  the  LSS-1  into  the  desired 

2. 

mounting 

location 

where 

the 

connectors will be easily accessible. 
 Use a pencil to mark the LSS-1 mount-

3. 

ing holes. 
Drill the pilot holes. 

4. 

 Use the supplied No. 8 self-tapping screws to mount the LSS-1 to 

5. 

the location. 

Transducer angle

After mounting the StructureScan transducer, make 

sure the transducer is adjusted so it will be parallel 

with the waterline when moving at trolling speed. 

Downscan Overlay 

The StructureScan transducer should be installed within approximately 1 foot of 

the broadband sounder transducer to get optimum performance from the Downscan 

Overlay feature. 
It is recommended you turn off Downscan Overlay when using your trolling motor 

as  the  sonar  source,  unless  the  StructureScan  transducer  and  broadband  sounder 

transducer both are installed on the trolling motor. 
Downscan overlay performance could be degraded if the StructureScan transducer  

is  too  far  away  from  the  broadband  sounder  transducer  installed  on  the  trolling 

motor.
