Gentlemen,
I know there are many threads on transducers and I've read and read, but I'm still not there. I seem to only get sales people and no one has good advice on the package I'm trying to put together.
So: I have a Commander 30 which I both cruise and fish in. I am installing a Simrad Evo3 on top of a NMEA2000 backbone. Salmon to 150 feet and Hali to 300. This transducer will be a thru hull. I believe I have narrowed down my options to an Airmar B175m or the B75m. That said l am also interested in the Totalscan. I think the B175m is the easy choice, but the 75 would be fine. I don't need the side/down scan for fishing, but it would be fun to have for all the gunkholeing I do. The specs say that the chirp in the total scan is medium and high and 500 watts.
Has anyone had any experience with the total scan? Is the chirp in it subpar to the B75m.
Any and all opinions welcome.
