I'm a new user here so a little background first.
I've currently got a 10+ year old Lowrance X85 with the transducer mounted on my boats transom and also have a transducer built into the bottom of my bow-mounted Minnkota trolling motor, also 10+ years old. I have a switch mounted near the bow that's allows me to switch between the two transducers.
This past weekend, I picked up my first side imaging unit, a 798ci HD SI COMBO. I'm not to interested in the hassle involved with a though-hull installation but I'd like to hear your pros/cons regarding locating the transducer on the trolling motor or transom.
If I decide to mount the 798ci transducer to the trolling motor can I still run the X85 from the transom or will the two units interfere with each other?
Thanks,
Chad
