Fish finder/depth sounder
plugger:
side scan is an amazing tool. Use it all the time looking for walleye. It takes a bit to figure out what you are looking at as you are looking for shadows to determine size, depth they are at, that sort of thing. but with a little practice, its worth every penny. Its more of a searching tool, need to be going a couple miles an hour minimum for best results.

With side scan, how picky is it when it comes to transducer location? I have a small boat and I'm worried the side scan is going to hit the lower unit of the outboard and ruin the picture. Just bought a used Garmin sv7 and am waiting for it to arrive. Any thoughts for location on a 14foot valco?

If you use 5200, it has a cure time of two days, don't try to do it just before you leave your house. Trust me on that one.
