I am looking at installing a new plotter/sonar in one of my boats. I am interested in the new Simrad GO7 or 9 XSR model with totalscan transducer. I have an much older Lowrance unit that I would like to keep to use mainly for echo and depth. It has a single frequency transducer at 200kHz
My thoughts based on research leads me to thing that if I configure the new Simrad for 85kHZ, I may be able to use both in echo mode as well as Simrad sidescan/chirp. If I can use both units, a GO7 will be fine. If I can't run both I probably will need to get the 9 inch screen. Space for mounting is an issue.
Anyone out there have feedback on either the Simrad GO series in general and/or the use of two sounders with two separate transducers?
The GO XSR is relatively new but is functionally equivalent to the GO XSE if that helps.
Thanks,
Seasick
