looks good, thx for the report. I just ordered the HB 998. I have the older PA14 so no lowrance compartment for me. I am going to try the RAM transducer mount. Should be here by the weekend. I figured I needed to have the ducer lower in the water than any part of the hull to get full SI details. I am more concerned with consistent speed and direction(or lack there of) and how it will affect the images.
I tried the RAM transducer mounted on the side board of my PA 14 with my DSI Lowrance. What I found was every time I moved the pedals I got noise interference on the Fish finder from the flippers as they moved through the sonar beam. If you decide to go with this system, you might want to consider locating it far enough behind the Mirage drive so you don't have the same issue.
