Hobie LOWRANCE READY TOTAL SCAN

Sorry, I thought this post was a joke. I had to verify on the Hobie website before I believed it.

The new plate looks like a normal Lowrance ready plate with a giant dildo going through it.

In response, Hobie and Lowrance teamed up to design a Lowrance Ready transducer plate specifically designed for the TotalScan transducer.
The Lowrance Ready TotalScan transducer plate leaves the transducer free of obstruction, allowing the side imaging technology to function with optimal performance while still providing protection against head-on collision damage. The Lowrance Ready mounting plate for TotalScan transducers works in conjunction with the plug-and-play Lowrance Ready System found on popular Hobie® fishing kayaks and is available now.

Nope, no gen2 support. You need a gen3 or higher to take advantage of the new total scan transducer.

Surf landing= damage

Hand launch using dock = damage


Putting it on car rack = damage

Landing it on boat ramp= hope you don't scratch to badly

Isnt the whole point of the plate to not cause damage to the unit? To me it looks stream line enough to not be a big deal.

Though this is true, uniformity of the material the sound energy is transmitting through is critical. Deformations, even small scratches, can cause refraction and deflection with the outgoing and incoming energy that results in imaging errors.

available on the 5 TI, working on an install right now.

My stock lowrance ready plate it badly battered and my image looks great. And Im not talking small scratches. Im talking some serious gouges.

Thank you. Anyone else running these total scans? Worth the upgrade? I see the transducer by itself is around $300. Are they starting to sell these inside of new unit boxes yet?
