They did a little repair for me last month. I was very pleased with them. Very nice lady runs the operation ....

Good one Devidogdad !!!!!

Thanks for your reply Spawnbag. I have been tied up and have yet to install it.Hopefully I will get it put on this week !! I will post how it went then.

Thank you both for your responses. Ona ... I was more concerned with the frequencies of the transducers interfering with one another. Curmudgeon.. How would I know the frequency at which the Garmin is operating ? I am sure these questions show my greenness but I gotta learn !!

Thanks Parthey... Didn't realize I had that much space at the helm ! Thanks Gulf .... I was going to try to get by with one new unit and use the Garmin 498 as a "flasher" .... But your set up sounds awesome !!!

Thx Parthey... those are the ones I am considering...
