I have a single sonar and have it mounted on the casting deck up front just behind the nose cone. The front deck is where I do most of my fishing and when I am running the boat I can make quick checks of the depth by simply looking down slightly from the front of the boat. As long as the digital readout is large enough for you to see (can adjust this on your sonar display options) as well as the trend of where the depth is going, i think you might find this a better alternative to looking off to the side. Only thing you need to consider is where your passengers are seated and if they are in your way of viewing the sonar.

I have to quallify my suggestion with the fact that I run a console, but thought this was a better alternative to looking down at my console dash when I can keep my eyes forward while driving the boat. Also eliminates the need for me to run two separate sonar units because the display is up where I fish.
