So I'm looking into putting a combo
fishfinder/gps unit in the boat; not looking to spend more than 400-500 bucks. I've seen a few about that I'm interested in, one or two of the Humminbirds and Lowrance's,
Garmin has one or two that might be right for me.
The real question is, I need to mount the sonar transducer somewhere in the boat. There already is a humminbird depthfinder installed and working, it is connected to a little black thingie that is stuck to the inside of the hull, about halfway from the back and a little bit up the inside of the starboard side. What are the odds that I can I plug the cord from the black thingie into my new (not bought yet) unit. That being said, if it doesn't work...how much success has anyone had with inside the hull mounted transducers? The units I have been looking at are the "dual frequency" models, if that means anything.
Anyway, let me know what you think and I'll check in later.
