Rick ... I've fished in a buddy's boat that has LS & the 93sv (which seems to be a popular size, but that may be due to price). I had no problems seeing what was going on on the screen. His is mounted on the trolling motor shaft, so it is a bit of a feat to keep the target in view when fighting the wind. There are several makers of separate mounts for the transducer, so as to avoid that situation, but they're manually operated and may be somewhat cumbersome to operate while trying to fish, control the boat with the trolling motor, & manually move the mount to keep the target on screen. I don't know, as I've not fished with anyone that has that type of setup. I do know that the LS cone is narrow and you can quickly lose the target if conditions are not favorable to maintaining a steady position.
I also know that it's a power hog (draws about 4.83 amps) so it may require a separate battery of its own.
