Lowrance 000-12568-001 Totalscan Transducer, Black, Standard

It works great.The only one thing that I struggled was finding this transducer in my fishfinder setting. There are many lists of all transducers. I had to choose one, (Total transducer low/high).Otherwise, my HDS 7 dose not recognize this transducer. (Unknown...No depth...)

Easy to install.

Replaced an original Lowrance transducer. Typical Lowrance quality. Works great.

There are two versions of this transducer the pictured version and the new plastic version. I was hoping to get the new version but received this version instead. For whatever reason lowrance ships this unit with the 3D transducer mounting bracket thus requiring you to install it backwards have to route the cable from the back forward. They do provide zip ties to assist in routing the cable but seems to me it would be better to ship with the lss2 mounting bracket. I just recently received this so I'm still fine tuning the adjustment so I don't lose bottom on plane. It's nice having to route only one cable to the console and glad I went this route. I left the lss2 and skimmer transducer on my pontoon so I can simply put the HDS on either boat. If you rig your own boats and know what a pain it can be to pull the cables get this transducer and only do it once.

Ordered this item to get the transducer but also the metal mounting bracket. It arrives on time as expected but has the plastic mounting bracket. I had to order the metal bracket separately after receiving the item. An accurate picture would have been helpful but not a deal breaker.

Works well but hard to adjust due to size. I have this on a 25' hydra-sports with cruise speeds of 30 knots and max speeds of 60 knots. I have this working with a Simrad NSS7 EVO. Amazing scans, keeps up at high speeds when adjusted properly. The scans come in very clear, better than I would have imagined. I would recommend it to anyone looking for bottom structures or favorite fishing spots.

The advertisement clearly shows the steel mounting bracket, but the bracket that comes with the unit that I received is plastic (or some material plastic-like). Fortunately I have the steel bracket from the transducer that is being replaced. If I hadn't had a steel bracket, I would have considered returning the transducer to the seller. Before making the purchase, I saw a review where the reviewer had said the same thing about the plastic mount, but I assumed that was a "one time problem" (silly me). I am assuming that the transducer will function properly.

I put this on my hds9, it works great. I upgraded from an out of date unit so I love it. I took my old skimmer off and got lucky, the bracket for this unit fit right into the holes already drilled for my old bracket. So luckily it took me like 5 minutes to mount my transducer.
