[QUOTE="Allen, post: 361618, member: 389"] Bob, I have two depthfinders on my tritoon for that reason. The first is a little Hummingbird built into the dash. It works fine at speed, but other than that it's not a great fishfinder. The other I put on the Toon is a Lowrance with the total scan transducer. Those things are just fine at low speeds, but loses the bottom pretty easily when at speeds of 25 mph or greater. Both have their transducers mounted on the same tube and run just fine together with no interference. I have heard of setups where two transducers are mounted and wired as you asked about, but have never seen the actual setup. I have no real preference on make of fishfinders, the higher end models of each brand are all pretty nice. The only thing I will say is that if you are interested in downscan and sidescan technology, you can't get too big of a screen. My sidescan on a 7 inch Lowrance screen is smaller than I would ever replace it with in the future. Just too hard to pick out the finer details (pronounced fish) for me, and if you want to start splitting the screen to have mulitple things shown (map and sidescan for example), and you are again looking at pretty small screens for each.
