Skimmer Installation Instructions Transducer location and installation is one of the most critical steps in sonar installation. Select a transducer location To function properly the Skimmer transducer must be in the water at all times and in a location that has a smooth flow of water when the boat - Lowrance HDS-7 Gen2 | Installation Manual - Page 17
Aligning ratchets on one-piece bracket: The one-piece bracket assembly includes two black plastic ratchets. The ratchets are used to align the transducer with the boat hull. Each ratchet has the letters A-E molded into it. Ratchet Bracket 1: Insert the ratchets in the bracket with the letter - Lowrance HDS-7 Gen2 | Installation Manual - Page 18
The two-piece bracket includes four black plastic ratchets. The ratchets are used to align the transducer with the boat hull. Each ratchet has the letters A-F molded into it.

below the bottom of the hull, left image, above. Second, do not let the bottom of the transducer rise above the bottom of the hull, right image, above. The center line of the transducer should be level with the bottom of the boat hull and its "face" parallel with the ground. Transom - Lowrance HDS-7 Gen2 | Installation Manual - Page 21

When fishing around underwater structure the transducer may be kicked up from object strikes. If the transducer is being kicked up too often, try moving it a little - Lowrance HDS-7 Gen2 | Installation Manual - Page 23
TMB-S trolling motor bracket (Part No. 51-45) is an optional accessory and is available through LEI Extras at www.lei-extras.com. The TMB-S bracket is used to attach a one-piece bracket transducer to a trolling motor.

of the boat hull near the transom. The circled image is a close-up view of the transducer epoxied to the hull. On vee hulls try to place the transducer where the dead rise is 10° or less. Note: While you can epoxy a Skimmer transducer to the inside of a boat hull, we recommend using a Pod - Lowrance HDS-7 Gen2 | Installation Manual - Page 25
the transducer while the epoxy is setting. Allow the epoxy to set before moving the boat. When finished, the face of the transducer should be parallel with the hull with a minimum amount of epoxy between the hull and transducer. After the epoxy has set, route the transducer cable to the sonar unit - Lowrance HDS-7 Gen2 | Installation Manual - Page 26

System Architecture This section explains how the HDS connects to other devices as part of a system. The HDS has a highly scalable system architecture. A system can consist of a basic stand alone fishfinder or chart plotter, or expand to a networked, multi-display system connected to a wide range of - Lowrance HDS-7 Gen2 | Installation Manual - Page 30
problems are caused by shortcuts taken with system cables. When wiring the HDS follow the guidelines below.
