I have a new-to-me Double eagle 185 and I'm looking to install some new electronics. I'm primarily interested in a chartplotter/fishfinder combo unit and would like to keep it around $1k or under. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all of the choices and integration options, ones that come with charts and transducers, and ones that don't. It would be great to tie in engine info if possible (2012 Suzuki Df140) but not sure how easy that is to do? Can anyone offer up any suggestions on a good unit or option? Any must haves? A good place to call for phone advice?
I'd plan to be fishing/crabbing/prawning a medium amount and family exploring a fair bit. There's some boat show specials on right now but having a hard time getting started. 2nd part of the question is whether installation is usually part of the package or a separate cost? I would like to support local business but I want to make sure that where I buy from is easy to get the boat into. I'm currently on the Gulf islands so Saanich/Vic is my closest option. Thanks in advance!
