Thanks for the reply. Some of the info that I read yesterday said that when they placed the transduser on a 30 degree angle that it worked for them. And they also said that they had DI (down imaging). While others had said that it did not work for them. Years ago (my first sonar) was a 'Bottom Line Fishing Buddy II'. The side imaging was nice but when looking down the cone angle was so small that in water 20ft of water you were only seeing about a 3' circle of the bottom. The main reason I wanted to see to the side was trying to find Crappie schools. SI has it's advantages but don't know if the cost is worth it. I bought 2 new units last year, one for my Bass Tracker and one for my Sea Eagle. Both have DI but maybe I should have spent the extra fun tickets and got SI.
