The unit is about $400, which is cheaper than replacement for my Datamarine sounder.

Any thoughts on this?

I have thought the same, and the fish finders typically give you contour of the bottom as well

You will think this is silly, but if I replace the instruments I will have to figure a way to cover the holes left in the bulkhead, ideally a fiberglass job, but I don't wanna do all that
