In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzfaq.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Awesome video bro, just bought a elite 12 ti. And it's giving me this problem. This video will come In handy.

Realy good video! Great practical tips on setting up the transducer, very helpful!!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

very informative and also entertaining video Otis .I like your style keep up the good work..cheers

it works perfect now it is very easy to pinpoint fish when using all 3 sonar, down scan and structure scan at the same time

Very helpful video. Mine original transducer got whacked buy something when fishing in Mexico. Had to get a whole new bracket. Wasn’t sure how high to mount it. Now I know why I wasn’t metering at speed.

Just got one. Thanks for the heads up on positioning Otis.

Thanks for the assist. This issue has frustrating me to figure out on my ti7

Finally a video that explains proper placement and is spot on. Thanks

Good on ya Otis howdy from Australia!

Same issue thanks for the tip!

Sonar acting up when too hot,thats a big issue from Lowrance.I taught i was gonna buy that one but you are making me think twice before buying this sonar.Thanks for sharing that valuable info bud !

very useful info thanks & cheers

Thanks me friend, so helpful for me you explanations .

Thxs 4 sharing

Good tips

3/16 aluminum plate with rvt silicone and 3/8 stainless steel screws.

Great video. Just what i needed to know. Thanks ..I just got my elite 7 TI. I have no idea what transducer to in stall. Need one for ever thing the unit will do. Help

I have just Purchased the same unit great video thank you for the tip....My biggest question I have with watching all the videos on the Internet...Am I supposed to level the transducer like you did in this video (with the bottom of the boat half in half out of the water) or do i level it with the water line on how the boat Sits in the water? any help would be greatly appreciated

Great looking bracket you've made, thank you for the video. How did it fish - have you had to make adjustments on it - do you lose bottom at speed.,? -Bob

thank again

nice explanation i will confirm it installed leveled like you show with your straight edge. how from the most right end edge you installed the transducer ?

Ok I may not have been clear on this I was talking about something possibly striking it from the side if your boat was anchored are parked and the back end drifting around and a tree limb or rock hitting it .

I'm having the same problem with my ti5

good video what kind of metal is your bracket out of and what kind screws and sealent u done a hell of a job

Bruh 😉 thanks for the info I mean great info each 1 teach 1 😉 AMEN 🙌✌️💓

I have an elite ti7 unit but want to know how tight must the transducer be , mine moves a lot, do you have to let it move up when you take your boat out of the water or just keep it on the parallel way. Please end me a message

Nice bracket and excellent video. I suffer from loss of sonar at plane as well. Can you add instructions in the description on how to make that bracket?

What about transducer on trolling motor?

What happens if the transducer is mounted a foot lower than the bottom of the boat? I only use a bow mount terrova on my boat so speed is not an issue. I want to mount it on the bottom of my rudder I built.

With the totalscan transducer being so long and sticking out so far have you had any trouble in brushy or rocky areas with the tranducer possibly breaking bracket ?

I see you have the transducer mounted with wire to the front, does your side scan rear backwards? // I want to change my mount to the new style mount and wire has to run out the front.

Hey your big moter don't block the side sonar? I got a jon boat and I just got a 7ti and I'm trying to figure out how to mount the transducer

That was my question -- can you turn it 180 degrees without affecting transducer performance? From what you said I'm thinking you can. Thanks good video.

I don't have the total scan version, but my downscan version is always in the sun, its never given me any trouble with heat.

is that how your boat sits in the water when your ideling the way its sitting on the trailor

Some decent info but how do you know exactly the "shiny" line is when you're on plane?

Can't believe you have to put it in a coller either.Did you call Lowrance?I would have.

Does your transducer pick up the outboard on side imaging when mounted in this spot?

Just installed a total scan transducer. What a pain in that ass trying to get working on plane. There is nothing in front of it. Just rivets. Which you can't file down. I have dull grey Line even with the bottom of the boat. I get a rooster tail at high speeds. Sometimes lose bottom also. I have adjusted it up and down. Same results. Also. It's a elite ti 9". Like the unit. But nightmare transducer.

What kind of boat do you have?

What boat looks like my 2010 tracker pro guide deep v

Sad that they had to add weld to create drag........ easier to add weight to nose ..or put trim fins on cavitation plate

Did you make the plate or buy it as is?

you lowrance guys have to put your damn head units in a cooler to use them on a hot day? LMAO im glad i chose humminbird

I've had more problems with my lowrance. I'm gonna sell it and get a garmin.
