lowrance are nice units with the p66. you can only get the p66 with the xsonic 9 pin so you need to buy the adapter 9 to 7 pin for $50. stock lowrance transducers are terrible the 50khz and the 83khz. they work but fail in like 2 years or so. so the p66 is the needed transducer.

You can still order p66 transducers with 7 pin.

harder to find curious where you got the 7 pin? I had to order one from defender marine in florida. harbour chandler has the 9 pin.

Aside from the wealth of info you'll get from the members here, many of us will be willing to assist in your first few outings to establish / build confidence. It's amazing what a case of beer will get you here.

It's easy to learn but, of course, nearly impossible to master. But that's the fun of it!

7" is what I have on my boat which is sufficient for either sonar or charts, but not idea for both at the same time . While trolling I have my phone in a holder with charts so the sounder is dedicated sonar.

Ya its bare minimum for a larger boat say 18' and above. 2 7 would be nice or a 9. 7 will run you about $1000.

Still have the 5" lowrance gen 1 from my 16'. One 7 hds gen 3 also. Figuring out the networking tomorrow see if I can get a few pics.
