dual transducer placement- mega si & high speed 2d

i’m switching from a 998 si to a mega. i have a 2 transducer set up now that was dealer rigged by lund dealer in chamberlin sd.they currently have the hdsi mounted on board in the lowest and nearest point to outboard. it appears to me that the high speed should be the one closer to the motor and i should put the new mega si on the outside point on the mount board and as high as i can so it will be out of the water on plane. thoughts?

I rigged mine for an 898 just like yours and in my opinion I would stay the same way you have them just replace the old SI ducer with the new MSI ducer.

If you switch them the MSI/SI ducer image will be obstructed by the high-speed ducer. Unless you are going to switch to an MSI ducer on each side of the hull that is (this would be a total of 3 ducers).

X2 on the rigging. Did the simple swap of the SI for MSI transducer with the exact same setup. Went from the 898 SI to the Helix 9 SI G2N Works great.

thanks for the replies i’ll just have to figure out a plan for that transom strap maybe i can move that 2d farther outside

Move the 2D to the outside if the strap.

that’s my plan just hope i can get it low enough

Stay the course, but install a much larger board. Then move the high speed to accommodate without the binding issue.

I have a dual mega ducer R and L plus the high speed ducer. This is my second rigging with the birds. First was with the 1198/998 and now the Solix g2’s.
