Garmin or Lowrance are usually good units. Humminbirds are not, especially for saltwater. You have a lot of questions on mounting, too many to answer. You can mount a unit wherever you want, but you need your power cable and transducer hard wired to the unit. If you want a second screen, you can bluetooth one head unit to a tablet screen. You do not have to buy 2 units right away. |

I run 2 Garmins. |

Garmin or Simrad for sure. I would prioritize transducer power over screen size if on a budget, but that's my preference. I have a 9" Garmin and it's plenty if you can't afford a 12. If you go Garmin and want to ever use Garmin autopilot, make sure you get the xsv so you can control it. |

If you want to be able to move the head unit to the bow you can buy a second station kit, don't have to buy a separate head unit. When I bought my boat (18' Raider) the original owner bought it to use for bass fishing, definitely not a bass boat, but he had the dealer install a second station on the bow and another 1 on the transom as well as the helm station. He put 37 hours on it before realizing it wasn't a bass boat, I got a smoking deal on it. |
