Garmin has a rebate on right now for a Panoptix and Echomap combo. I already bought an Echomap for the bow so I'm considering the PS21. I crappie fish all year chase sandies and hybrids all summer especially top water in mornings and evenings and do some catfishing also. If you have one how do you use it and how well do they work. Some of the videos I've seen are impressive.

If you are not familiar with that site it is bassboatcentral.com. Good luck with your searching.
Wilbur has PS21 ... DonG had PS31 ...
I'm sure wilbur will post results as soon as he can get his boat in the water ...
Don doesn't post much anywhere ...
I'm not sure if anyone else here at CDC has Panoptix ...
I will have ... eventually ...

The YouTube video called "Garmin Panoptix for Suspended Crappie" is what made me start thinking about it. It's really impressive if you haven't seen it.
I will be offering a da ducer apparatus® Rotatable version very soon designed specifically for Panoptix xducers ...

Rickie by using your apparatus for the Panoptix wouldn't that eliminate the possible interference from the trolley motor?Quote:

Following, Rickie, sounds like you are working on something exactly like what I need. I dont want to mount to my terrova, but also want to be able to run it off the rear, maybe like a qd mount. Please keep us posted, as I am holding off on purchase until I find the RIGHT mounting option. Not gonna rig up something that expensive half way
