We've been thinking of adding a MultiFunction Display (MFD). Primary use will be chartplotter and CHIRP Down Vision sonar. With Brio's fin keel and 6' draft, We'd like to see the rocks and wayward refrigerators on the bottom of Lake Erie while navigating at low speed. We've twice bumped off of an unexpected, uncharted obstruction in recent seasons. No hard hits, but we prefer never again. A secondary use would be as occasional fish finder.
The immediate concern is selecting and mounting the thru-hull transducer while on the hard. I have all Raymarine electronics and have been looking at their choices. What MFD's have worked well? Where is the best place to mount the transducer, and should I plan on aiming straight down or with some "look ahead" angle. Most online application guides are focused in fishing boats, and I haven't found much help for our application. Any experience or suggestions are welcome. Thanks,
Ed
