i just got a boat last winter fairly cheap but it needed some work so i put new carpet in made the platforms bigger and put a depth finder in it. I went with a hds-5 and i love it but it is mounted so i can see it when i am driving. i would like to add a nother one to the frint so i can see it when i am runing the troling motor. I wish i could get another hds but i just cant swing it. so i was looking at finding a used depth finder. Now for my question. What is a good depth finder and what should i stay away from, also where would be the best spot for my hds-5 in the front or by the wheel. If any one wants to see what the boat looks like here is a link to my rebuild. Thanks

If you have a flasher that would work great. I run my FL 8 on my bow. I also have a handheld Expedition C on the front.

ok maybe this is a better question what do you run for depth finders on your boat. How many, what kind and and where on your boat?

I have never been able to run two units at the same time without them cross talking (interference) I use a RAM mount and turn the unit to face the bow when casting,I don't want to turn off the conesl unit as I am recording data for use with DR.Depth.
