I’ve got a lowrance unit, new to me, it’s got a chip in it that displays the mapping feature perfectly and the depths and contours align almost perfectly despite being older technology. The transducer I had was having some serious issues and whether I set it to 50 or 200 kHz would never pick up bottom past 20-30 ft. I went ahead and got a new transducer that’s 83/200khz as my model will run on 50/200 and plan to run it at 200khz as I use it for trolling Lake Erie never any deeper than 100’. Would setting the system to 50 with a 83khz transducer cause any damage? And for mounting, would it work okay to mount on the port side of my transom? I’ve got a spot about 2’ from the lower unit which seems adequate for the 1’ zone the manual tells me, it’s on the downward side of the prop for my kicker rotation so if anything I was hoping for interference while under main power and perfect readings while trolling along.
