Location: north central wisconsin | From everything I hear, the transducer issue is behind us. You might be wise, however, to get the adapter for the universal sonar transducer on your trolling motor if you have a Minn Kota, or a puck if the electric motor doesn't have the inherent 'ducer. At least then, you can rely on it during a trip of trolling, or to get back to shore/landing if the skimmer dies. That said, I really like casting and trolling both, with my bow unit running off the front transducer. While not making much difference on places like the lower bay etc, it has saved a number of lost hours/lures for me when I see trees/rocks/shallows appear on the front unit, with time to avoid collision before my prop/lurs get there. Its especially helpful on the river here, and while trolling in Canada, even if I have to deal with a bit of asociated screen clutter. Its rare that my two units are reading within 3-4' of one another when working structure, and they are often 'off' by alot more.
With that said, I would also network my sonars, if running the LSS. Appears to be a nice system.
