How do you add a Transducer that doesn't come with the unit if the unit already come with a transducer.  the unit Im referring to does come with it's own transducer

I'm at the point now of my rebuild which is a 22ft Sylvan Offshore to a wide open fishing boat.  I'm planning on trolling lake Ontario for Salmon and trout.   I now need a Depth finder / fish finder.  I like Garmin products and I'm thinking of the STRIKER^™ Vivid 9sv.  My budget is between $600 and $900.  Any comments on this product or another that would be better for around the same price I'd appreciate the advice.  I've always had very simply depth finders and don't want anything to complicated to operate as I write CNC programs for a living and the last thing I want to do is have to learn another software package that requires a lot of brain power.  Thanks

Shakemsman,

You said it for sure.  Still not sure how I'm going to mount this kicker as the transom on this boat I'm building is curved on both ends and poses a challenge as to a limited area that I can mount it without interfering with the main motor.  I know there are a bunch of options for mounting and steering a kicker.  I think i might just go to a Marina up around Lake Ontario and have them install it as I feel they see the most of this stuff.  Im in CT and wouldn't bring my boat to any of the marinas around here for a kicker install.  All the marinas around here are Saltwater places and I've never seen a kicker on a boat down here in the salt so I feel they wouldn't have the best solutions to a problem like this

Thanks guys.  I have some thinking and planning to do now

I have a line on a used Honda 9.9 4 stroke for 1000$  Not sure of the year but looks newer.  My question is that it's a tiller control and I'm going to want to convert it over to a dial throttle for a kicker and hook it up to my main motor for steering.  Any issues using this motor for a kicker or getting a kit to convert it from a tiller to remote.  thanks

Great Laker thanks for the pics!! I'm planning on a steering linkage on the back of the motor that turns them both at the same time. Also want to use a master troll system for trolling. I haven't seen the other system of steering that is in front of the motors. Will have to check that out. Thanks everyone.

I'm remodeling/rebuilding this Sylvan 22ft Offshore and want to put a 10hp kicker on the back but I don't believe I have the room to hang it right next to the main motor. Does anyone have a picture of how they mounted a kicker to a transom of this shape. Thought of a kicker bracket but want to use a power trim option and not sure if you can put a Panther tilt trim on one of their brackets.
