Default depthfinder/gps idea?

I would buy a Ram Mount and mount the GPS/depthfinder to the front and
outboard side of the drivers side of the boat. I would also mount the GPS
antenna beside the depthfinder (on the same bracket) so it could be used
from the front seat as well as the drivers seat. I have my X-15/GPS bracket
mounted to a Ram Mount and antenna at home here, would you like to see a
photo of this set-up Ronnie? This way I can use it in the truck or in any
boat, if only for the GPS nav. unit.

Would you buy a pair of depthfinders/gps that worked together?

That is exactly what I have - but it would be a lot easier to have the display
up front where the front depthfinder is so I would not have to strain to see
it. The console is sevreal feet from where I fish in the front of my boat. I
could also stay facing forward.

Seems if I am going to have two depthfinders anyway, a slave unit would be the
way to go.
