Good day all, I'm gonna run with Scott T-Bird's hi-jack of Barryl's post . I'm looking for real advise on installing a B&G Forward Scan on my H380. The boat also has two existing transducer holes, just fore of the keel and on either side of centerline. One throughhull has a DST810 and the other has a blanking plug, ~8" away. It would be lovely not to drill another hole in my boat if I can get away with it, so I'm wondering:
1) how real is the interference between the Forward Scan and the traditional sounder. Is B&G concerned about return echos or turbulence.
2) If the interference is real, can I somehow disable the depth function on the 810 and still keep the paddle wheel for SOW.
3) Can I do this quickly and on the fly?
4) What is the power consumption of the Forward Scan vs the 810.
5) does anyone know what the 810 uses as a frequency vs the Forward Scan. Am I gonna be messing with the orca whale echolocation?
I'm using a newer Zeus3 and a couple of older Tritons for the user interface and processing. Thanks for your consideration! j
