I have a Garmin GPSMAP 7608xsv. It is capable of sidescan, however we never use it. We walleye fish here in Lake Erie's central basin for fish suspended in the water column. I find that traditional CHIRP sonar is all we need. Had a transom mount duser and wasn't happy with the results. Switched to a thru-hull ducer, (Yeah, I spent the money) but the difference was incredible. Just something to consider. I tried to save a few bucks with the transom mount and ended up spending more.
