Default Transducer mounting

A friend at work has both a Garmin and a Lowrance fish finder. He would like to know if both transducers can be mounted next to each other, or would they interfere with each other? Thanks Billy Mac

I think i would mount them in the same place on different sides of the boat. Not sure if they will work next to each other wit same frequency ducers??

Another concern would be the water turbulence between the two at high speeds.

They should work fine as long as they are not the same frequency . Do you plan to mount them on the transom or glue the transducer inside the hull ?

He plans to mount them on the transom about 10" apart. He called Cabelas today and their tech said there should not be a problem. He'll find out in the next week or two. Thanks Billy Mac

That should work . I mounted my last transducer inside the hull with epoxy and it works well. The diadvantage being a loss of the water temp. . Good luck ....

Hey C to add to my post, I installed a flush mounted thru hull in my inbd, it works great and wasn't hard to do. The flush mounted ones are better because you don't have to have a guard around the sensor to protect it.

I posted pics of the installation.

I posted pics if you search under my name when I changed out my motor (repower) and took pics of the job.
