Is this transducer worth the money. I have an hds 8 and at speeds it doesnt read much at all. If this will help me out i am going to get one just wanted some feedback from some of you that have one thanks

I don't know about that transducer, however, I have an HDS10 with the standard transducer and it reads pretty well at higher speeds. Just make sure you set your frequency (ping speed) to 83hz or 200hz while running. Fish will show up as short orange vertical bars, vs hooks when running, but you can see them. I also keep my eye on the "instant view" window as I am running. If I see lots of orange blips in the middle of the water column, I know I am marking fish. I will then usually slow it down a bit to get a better view. When fishing, I like to have my frequency at 83hz or 50hz.

There is a pretty good web-site on this topic called "Doctor Sonar"

He has an article on marking fish at higher speeds with an HDS: http://doctorsonar.myshopify.com/pag...ish-with-sonar
