Default fish finder

boat: 91 V-20 with 5.01L chevy with volvo 290 outdr.

My hummingbird wide view depth finder dropped dead, I sent it the company to look at and they said it was unrepairable.

I want something I can have use at high speed, my old one had 2 transducers sandwiched between the outdr and the trim tab. I have a feeling anything I put back there will not operate at high speed because of the disturbance. I want to try installing my next one on the centerline in the engine compartment bilge.

2 questions: Has anyone tried a Eagle fish finder and has anyone tried to install in this area.

My buddy has a V-21 with a Yamaha and a eagle depth finder and his works at high speed.

As I said I think my problem is with the disturbance from the trim tab and outdrive.

Let me know guys.
thanks garagenc
