Yet another Depth finder question

[poppop]

Assuming that you have two depth finders on your boat. How many puts the more expensive and better one on the front at the trolling motor?

My situation is this, I have a 200DX Humminbird already mounted at the steering wheel. That is a pretty good depth finder...works well. I ordered a Humminbird 565 last week. Do I have a good argument to move the 200DX to the trolling motor and mount the 565 at the steering wheel? I am not the most mechanical person in the world, but would attempt it if there would be a world of difference. Thanks for any opinions.

I just mounted a Lowrance 520c at the console and moved the Lowrance x37 from the console to the trolling motor! I guess it is personal preferance. I would want the best one for when I was riding and looking for cover and such.

I'd mount the 565 on the trolling motor. I have the better unit mounted on my trolling motor cause thats where I do most of my fishing from. Just my 2 cents

Good Luck and Good Fishing.

I agree grubby...I don't do much fishing from the console...In fact, I only have a GPS at the console...Boat came with a Teleflex flasher, in dash, but I don't use it

I have a Garmin 178C on the console, and a HB997, that I use on the console for side scanning, and move to the bow when using the trolling motor. I really like the big screen.

Ive always put my best finder on the trolling motor as long as your console is a decent finder. If something catches my eye when Im at the console, I look at it while im up front fishing with the trolling motor.
