Anyone out there has upgraded to the Lowrance HDS 10 w/ Structure scan, if so could you send some pic. of how you mounted yours near the console, just purchased the unit and looking for mount help. Im placing my new unit on a 2001 pantera 111

Hey pantera123,I am sure many would love to reply, but most run or will be running Humminbird. Everyone has reasons as to why but majority would say customer service and product backing has kept them from using lowrance or converting over. The HDS series are great units and I have many friends running them on various other boats, but the ones with them say they hope it never has a problem because right now it is a toss up as to whether or not it will be taken care of in a timely manner.As I stated above, the HDS are great units, but many, including myself, feel for that kind of money it shouldnt be a PITA or take forever to get the unit replaced or repair if a problem occurs.Jay

Ive got my 987SI Hbird mounted on the metal hand rail on my 02 Jag, I pick up my new PIV tomorrow and am putting an HDS10 on the handrail on it as well, they make a RAM mount that will go there. I dont remember if a P3 has the handrail or not though. Mike

Thanks for your input, and you are right everyone has there own opinion as to which units are best for them and I have been using Lowrance since I purchased my Cat back in 2001 and have had great suscess with costomer service. Ill have some Pic. of my install later today for anyone out there looking for help installing the HDS 10 unit on Basscat boats. Im by no means sending a bad taste for the humming-bird unit, because I have a good number of club members using them and would not have anything else.

P123,Just got my new Cougar FTD rigged with an HDS-10 and Structure Scan. I had the HB 997 ripped out of the dash. Dont like it. I mounted the HDS on a RAM mount on the inside of the top cap forward of the shifter. Im out of town right now but will post some pics when I get back. Ive been on the water only once with it but can already tell it is going to be super bad.
