Astro180 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I managed to get my hands on a pair of HDS 5's, one gen 1 and one gen 2. I already have an elite 7 hds at the console, the 7 has the basic chip card that comes in the kit. The 5's come with a platinum card, i am trying to decide how i want to do the mounting and what to put where. That's why i figured i would ask you guys, the units were previously flush mounted one at bow and one at the console. What i have in mind is leaving the 7 where it is and mounting the 5's on the bow, using one for a map and one for sonar. Thoughts and input?

SteveHTN Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Wouldn’t be a bad idea, but personally I’d want my best map card at the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about that, couldn't I just switch the cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHTN Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Should be able to, assuming the slots are the same or you have the correct adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro180 Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 So after putting More thought into it and calling lowrance I have a new plan....I'm going to move the 7 up front so I have sonar and down scan at the bow, then I'm going to install one 5 at the console and one at the bow connected with Ethernet to share waypoints. As of now I'm looking to buy a bar and mounttthem side by side in front of the tm petal.. anybody have any recommendations to consider before I order the brackets?

SteveHTN Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Sounds like a plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
