I'm looking to install an LSS-2 tranducer on a 96 Nitro 205SF.  Has anyone done it with success on a Nitro without a jackplate? I don't have one, and don't intend to add one. I was just about to place an order and received an alarming PM from a fellow member telling me that Nitros and the LSS-2 do not get along. Can someone please explain what's causing the issue, preferably with pictures? I'm a visual learner doh.gif. I really want to make the sidescan work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am not familiar with your specific boat, but the ducer needs to be mounted an inch or so below any lateral left/right obstructions from the LSS ducer, otherwise you will have beam kickback.  Depending on where you mount it, a lateral obstruction may include your lower unit since you have no setback plate.  Here, you would just need to trim your engine up when idling to prevent beam kickback.  Since the LSS is designed for use at idle speeds, you can also mount it higher on the transom for protection against impact damage, as it just needs to be in the water when you are idling.
