Dual Sonar question...

Currently, I have a Garmin 160 sonar mounted on the console, and transducer
mounted on the rear of my 17' boat. One the front deck, I have an Eagle Fish
Easy with the transducer mounted on the bottom of the trolling motor. I'm
not having a problem with them interferring with each other. However...

When I get my new trolling motor with universal sonar built in, I'm planning
on getting another Garmin unit for the front. Actually, I'm going to put the
160 up front and put a 240 on the console. My question is, would the two
Garmins interfer with each other?

I have a similar setup on a 16 footer with a Garmin 240 on the console and a
Lowrance X-97 using a universal transducer on the bow. Both operate at
50/200khz and cause no problems. In case you didn't know it, the temp
function if you have it, will not work with a universal transducer
(Minkota).

Hadn't thought about the Temp, Bill.

I'm pretty harsh on the transducer that's up there now, which is why I
wanted the built in sonar that the Maxxum has. I don't have temp up there
now, so I guess it really don't matter. It would be nice, but not necessary.
Besides, I gotta keep bugging Joe about something.

I don't see why they would, Charles, I run a 240 on the trolling motor
and a 168 in the console with a transom mount + a third depth gauge on
the console that is also a transom mount transducer.

Just making sure before spending MORE money on sonars!

Thanks Fritz!

Charles, think about it - it's not an issue! You're not going to use both
at once, right?

I often leave both on, one for the guy in the back... But have never
experienced any problem...

If we ever fish together Warren, let's do it on my boat, OK?
