I have a 2014 RT 188 I am starting to use for crappie fishing. It has the standard cheap finder on the bow. Want to get the best unit I can for the bow. Spider rigging now, will be hitting bushes eventually, so I am thinking side scan etc. Mostly shallow water in Virginia, NE North Carolina. Thoughts?
I put SI on the console with the transducer on the transom, and DI on the bow. If you mount the SI transducer on the TM, your picture will be a mess because of steering the TM. A solid transducer mount will help if you want to put SI in front.
I have tried them all and am very happy with my Raymarine choice.
What is your budget so we can offer advice in your price range ... ??
There are SI units from $500 to $3500 ...(and up) ...
