I've been seriously looking at that unit.Supposed to be very good.480x480 pixels.Where did you get it?Did it hook up to a previous transducer?

Only had it out once now but love the color on this unit! Very easy to disinguish harder and weaker signals.
Picked it up from Nikka Ind. but Harbour Chandler also has it. Its a duel frequency transducer so had to re-install the new one that came with it as I only had a 200 khz tranducer.
Don't know if it would be compatable with an existing 50/200 khz transducer but I do know that West Marine will sell you the unit without the transducer. Not sure if the other companies will as the transducer comes in the box with the unit.
Haven't you got enough depth finders on your boat? LOL Sounds like you have two already.

I'm a sucker for toys.Since I was having trouble with my x15,I got talking to Dane @ harbour chandler about using the x15 just as full screen Gps and going to the x107 for sonar.That way I would be able to have full screen for both.But I was wondering if it would plug into the same transducer.The x15 is a 50/200 as well.I should be serious though.You can always go for the next model up but the house needs work too.lol.
I'm one of those guys who wastes money by having to have the best out there.Like a computer or stereo,theres always a new model coming out.
I'd still like to here how your new one works out for you.Like,how well it tracks your down riggers etc.

You can plug both of them into the same transducer, as long as both units are NMEA 2000 compatible. The trouble with this is that you need to spend quite a bit of money on extra bits and pieces of network cables etc, that it works out to be no cheaper than getting the second trasducer as well. The good thing is only one transducer in the water. There is one other thing that I'm not positive of, and it's that you can only show sonar on one of the units at a time. The other unit can show depth, but not a sonar reading.
I think that all of the Lowrance sonars are now available without transducers, if you want it that way.
I researched the same thing about a month ago, and was able to ask the Lowrance guys at the boat show. There is a place on the Lowrance website where you can buid a network, with two displays, radar, transducers etc. Kind of cool. I apparently can hook up my Furuno radar with my Lowrance network also to give me position on my radar, but I've yet to figure out how to do it.<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>
