jokast13 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I don't think the web has failed me this bad before. I usually find everything I want and more, but this time I'm stumped. I have a lowrance HDS 7 and the transducer is mounted to the metal bracket and the boat with this small slide off plastic wedge. That thing has broken on me three times and I have managed to fix it in the past (love the epoxy and tape). This time I think it is done, so I wanted to just order a new one. That doesn't seem to be possible without buying the whole bracket or a new transducer. Anyone got an idea. Thanks for the help in advance. Quote
Kevin22 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Did you try contacting lowrance? they might be able to help you out if is one of their mounts. Quote
jokast13 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 Yeah, I talked with them and they have a mount but they want to sell the whole thing. I don't need the mounting hardware or the the metal bracket, but it looks like that's what I'm going to do just to get the plastic wedge. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted March 25, 2015 Super User Posted March 25, 2015 I've been running Lowrance for quite a few years now, and I'm not quite sure what wedge you're talking about. All my transducers have only come with a metal bracket for installation. Pictures could be beneficial in this situation. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted March 25, 2015 Super User Posted March 25, 2015 I've been running Lowrance for quite a few years now, and I'm not quite sure what wedge you're talking about. All my transducers have only come with a metal bracket for installation. Pictures could be beneficial in this situation. The Down Scan transducers have a part that the transducer slides into which has the mount stem that goes in the metal bracket. I installed an Elite 7 HDI for a friend, so I have seen how it mounts.

jokast13 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Yeah, Wayne has it right. There is a plastic piece that connects onto the metal bracket and the transducer slides and connects on to that plastic part. Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Which part in the pic are you refering too? Quote
jokast13 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 it's the larger black plastic piece that connects to the metal bracket Quote
