So I'm new here and have a question. I have a new Lowe FM165WT on order. Won't be here for another month or so. It comes standard with a Lowrance Elite 3x mounted on the console. I'm wanting a unit up front on the trolling motor and I want a combo of sonar/down imaging and GPS. I want to be able to mark spots I find for use later. I'm pretty new to all this. I previously fished out of a pontoon w/o a trolling motor and a basic FF on the dash.


  • Where would be the best spot to place the more advanced unit?
  • If I would be better off with the Elite 3x up front, is it going to be easy to move from the factory installation?
  • What are some suggestions for the DI/GPS unit? My budget for this is $500.


Thanks in advance for your comments/suggestions.
