* Having the sonar image available via phone/app to everyone on the boat a big plus.
* If you match this with Navionics boating maps on your smart device, it will do a split screen maps/sonar display.
* The only trouble I have is with two NEXUS devices. The phones will sometimes have a hard time connecting. To fix I have to forget the wifi connection, and then reconnect.
* Install a wider (say 12 inch) piece of PVC or "plastic" 1x2 on the lower back of your boat to attach the transducer to. It will let you move the transducer around if necessary or add another tranducer without more holes below the waterline. The "plastic lumber" is white, so I painted it silver to match the hull.
* Use 3M thru hull glue/caulk for the screws. Some people just use the product like glue. I also used two stainless steel bolts. Go easy on the glue, I used way too much and it makes the attach board stick out just a tiny bit. It only takes a tiny bit of glue/caulk to stop water.
* When mounting your transducer, you want it low enough to get a good reading at speed, but high enough so it doesn't throw out a large rooster tail when at speed. About even with the boat bottom (transducer bottom and boat bottom) is about correct. You can adjust slightly up/down. The front point of the transducer is usually pointed DOWN just a tiny bit.
* When mounting your transducer, check the bottom of your boat, and try to get it in an area that is free of rivets. Smoother water flow = better operation. Of course you will probably push it out to the end some so it is not inline with the boat motor.
Mine will read up to about 10 knots. I know it will read even faster, but have to adjust some. Even though this unit lacks the fancy DSP image processing, you can still identify the sonar images with some practice. For example schools of fish have a certain look (blob of noodles). What I am trying to say is that the fancier units try to interpret/convert the raw data to present something you more easlily recognize. But it can be valuable to view the more basic sonar image and interpret things yourself.
I could not be happier with this unit!!
Good luck,

As a fishfinder its ok -- the traditional fishfinder is fairly obsolete these days though. What I really need from a fishfinder is depth, however, as I routinely boat in extremely shallow water. It does depth just fine. For some reason the temperature never worked. If you want to do fishing, you'll probably want a DI system at least.
As a chartplotter it is outstanding. The Navionics integration is a bit touchy but it is the only way to get into SonarCharts for less than a grand. Making your own chart is awesome, especially since where I boat the charts are just plain wrong (when you see a big boat in a very bad place you know they're using the 30 year old charts).
For those worried about powering it on and off (which is pretty annoying -- mounted under my dash) run the power line to a switch on the dashboard.
The screen is a bit tricky. I mainly used my iPhone with the arm band, which sucks a lot of juice. For next year I'm going to get a dedicated ipad mini, a waterproof case, and a RAM mount.
Unfortunately this is not family-friendly. Unable to teach my wife or father-in-law how to use it, so they use the traditional fishfinder for depth.
