Are you talking about a gps-controlled trolling motor linked to your sonar/gps unit, or as I understood the question, are you talking about linking your bow and console sonar/gps units?

As far as I know there is no disadvantage to linking bow and console electronics. Advantage is the ability to mark fish or structure on the console unit as you drive the boat, and then have those waypoints show up on both sonars so you can fish them from the bow. If you only troll its probably not an advantage, but if you mainly cast it's a game-changer, especially with side-imaging sonar.
Some sonars also allow you to share map chips this way.
