bryand82487 Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 I just recently broke my transducer on an old hummingbird depth finder that was on my trolling motor. I'm probably going to replace it with a new depth finder since mine is outdated. With money being an issue do most fisherman have a nicer depth finder up front or at the driver seat? Now I know a lot of guys have expensive side imaging units at the driver seat but I'm just talking about simple 200-250 dollar depth finders. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted August 22, 2010 Super User Posted August 22, 2010 A good "rule of thumb" is to have the best unit at the location that you use the most. If you fish standing up, the larger screen of a two unit set up is best utilized on the bow. You can still use the broken transducer on the trolling motor with a Transducer Shield and Saver for that style transducer. If you get another unit, exhange the supplied transom mount transducer for the correct one for trolling motor mounting. It is called a puck style. Quote
bryand82487 Posted August 22, 2010 Author Posted August 22, 2010 Thanks I will definitely look into the puck style transducer. Quote
