Greetings. I just installed the GPSMAP 743XSV with the transducer in my TI. I used the Lowrance plate. I cut off the mounting tabs for the through bolt and ran some tie wraps through the holes already in the plate.
This weekend we took it out for a spin and it seemed to work fine in the Indian River by New Smyrna, Fl. The depth went from 0 to about 25' I did not notice any issues with it not working in side scan, down scan and traditional. I was even able to pick up the mooring ropes on the sailboats I went by in the river. I am a total novice at it, but it seemed to work through the plate just fine.
I look forward to mounting the display unit in a more permanent fashion.
Good luck,
D.
