Sam Carrier replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"Shawn,
Do you use the Lowrance Scupper Mount with your unit for the transducer ? I've heard good things about Tallon Elite Socket also which allows you remove the unit and provides a nice flush way of mounting your GPS with the RAM…"
Shawn Blunt replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"I have a Lowrance Elite-4 DSI installed on my 2012 Ride 135 and have ghad great results, would recommend it to anyone. There are 2 limitations with the DSI technology you must keep in mind when concidering purchase. 1 limited depth range for usable…"
Steve Komarinetz replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"Guys, Look for something else, the 4" screen is too small to see anything. I tried 3 different units and they all SUCKED!!!!
Don't waste your time with the 4" DSI. Your screen will NEVER look like…"
Sam Carrier replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"Here are a couple of reviews on Cabelas where the two people seem to really like the Elite 4 DSI. One person used the skupper mount and the other through the hull. However, the transducer is fully submerged in both…"
Sam Carrier replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"Hey guys, new to the website but I do know that these particular DSI units must be submerged fully in the water. Now whether or not the Elite 4 DSI is a bad unit remains to be seen. I've had a lot of people tell me it's awesome…"
Steve Komarinetz replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"Rob you just proved my point, the DSI is a different animal than the regular 2 beam, or 3 or Quad beam transducer. The transducer HAS to be installed like the Side Imaging transducer, In the water away from turblance, away from obstruction, no…"
Rob Goebel replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"Steve, It's not your whether you are right or wrong. Your delivery is a smooth a 60 grit toilet paper.
You know Newt Gingrich might have been the the most qualified candidate for President this year. If you're the smartest guy in the room…"
Steve Komarinetz replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"Rob, first you buy a product for it's performance, if it doesn't perform as it should, you should avoid it or return it. I don't buy a product because someone spoke nicely to me!! I buy a product if it's going to…"
Rob Goebel replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"Wow, sounds the the standard internet message board mentality has finally come to Wildy now.
You know Steve, you could be correct BUT you really could learn how to talk to other people. There is a difference between sharing your opinion and shoving…"
Steve Komarinetz replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"Ashley, 12 years or not, we are now installing Side and down imaging, it's a new ball game!! the Down Imaging transducer have to be IN THE WATER. that's not from me it's from the manufacturer, I personal have had SI for 3 years,…"
Rob Knoles replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"I was told that the DSIunits had to be in the water, not through hull. I'm glad to hear that it worked through hull. I was thinking about getting one but did not want to deal with external mount. My buddy has theElite 4 and I think I will…"
Mike Zilkowsky replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"I have an Eagle and mounted my transducer through hull as well. I actually mounted mine in a sealed box full of water to get a more accurate temperature. But I know first hand that Marine Goop, Vaseline and marine grease all work. The Hummingbird…"
Ashley Williams replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"Wow, thanks for the "thoughtful" disagreement in technique. I'm sure William appreciates his unit being called garbage just as much as I appreciate my 12 years total experience in kayak fishing summed up in such juvenile opinions as…"
Steve Komarinetz replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"Ashley your WRONG!! DSI's must be submerged in the water not in the hull."
Steve Komarinetz replied to William Patterson's discussion Scupper Hole transducer mount Tarpon 140"Ashley , is behind times, forget everything he's told you, the transducer MUST be in the water at all times, that's why the scupper turbulence may interfere with your readings."
