Another question. I'm thinking of running a transducer on the back of the boat as well as on the trolling motor. Both would probably be Lowrance units. How much interference would occur between the two transducers? Would it be better to run both units off of the rear transducer. How would power differences affect the ability to use one transducer?

As far as the question regarding transducer location I'm looking for any tips from people that have helped their high speed reliability. I am not looking at any shoot through hull transducers (if that's even possible on an aluminum boat.) Things I think might help high speed readability would be to bolt on a 1/2" or 3/4" of plastic on the back then add the transducer in hoping that placing it further back would place it in less turbulant water am I wrong in thinking this?

I know I've got a lot of questions, but getting electronics to work properly is a very important issue, and I appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Thanks

Tom
