Posts: 39 Location: NE Twin Cities Metro | I just bought a new sonar/gps. It is far superior to my old lowrance x135. Debating on where to put it. 75% of the time I'm casting , current setup is the 135 in back (tiller) with an old lowrance h2o gps next to it and an old piranha humminbird up front. I was thinking the new unit would go in front to make it easier to following contours lines with gps. But now I have second thoughts, as the new unit is sweet, and could be used for navigation and turned towards the front to view while casting. What would you do? | ||

When i'm on my trolling motor, i like to see what is directly below me not what is directly below the back of the boat. Maybe use 2 different ducers (1 on the bow, 1 in the stern) turn your unit when you are up front. | ||

Posts: 2317 Location: Chisholm, MN | I have my best one in front, but both the front and the back have GPS. Its a hard decision. Eventually I would pick up a cheaper one with a gps to put in the back and have your best one in front. | ||

Posts: 39 Location: NE Twin Cities Metro | Thanks everyone. I'll go with my original thought, put it up front. I'm up there so much anyway. | ||
