[#008000]OK, Here are a couple of options.[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]Option 1:[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]Using your existing sonars. [/#008000]
[#008000]1. Both of those units have versions that are capable of dual frequency - Eagle 50/200, Lowrance 50/192. I don't know if you have them or not. You may have to contact those companies to get the appropriate dual frequency transducer - they may still sell them.[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]2. If one of them is dual frequency, you can set one on 50 and the other on 192 or 200 as the case may be. At 50, you will get a little less detail, but it will still be workable.[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]3. If you don't have dual frequency fish finders; Both of your units have ASP(noise rejection) and Sensitivity settings. Adjust the ASP to HIGH on BOTH. Adjust the sensitivity as low as possible on BOTH. That should eliminate most of the interference. You may have to spend a little time experimenting to find the exact adjustments for best performance.[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]4. Switches: [/#008000]
[#008000]A. Lowrance makes a switch so that you can use 2 transducers on one fish finder.[/#008000]

[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]B. They also make a switch that you can use 2 fish finders on one transducer. [/#008000]
[url "http://www.lowrance.com/en/Products/Accessories/"][#000080]Fish Finder switch LINK[/#000080][/url]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]BUT, as far as I know, with the above switches, you can only use one transducer or fish finder at a time. Contact Lowrance for details.[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]Option 2;[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]New fish finder options.[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]1. Keep one of your current fish finders (choose the best one that you like the most).[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]2. Lowrance/Eagle make several 50/200 dual frequency fish finders as does Humminbird (83/200). See above Option #1 comment 2 on how to use them simultaneously.[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]3. Vexilar makes the below fish finder that has completely different frequencies that will not interfer with any of the above fish finders as well as the ones you currently own. It is called the Edge. [/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[url "http://www.vexilar.com/pages/products/products_lc-507c.html"][#000080]Vexilar LINK[/#000080][/url]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]4. If you have a Vexilar or Marcum Flasher, you can use that on your boat as well and the interference rejection feature will remove the interference between the flasher and your fish finder as well.[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]Hope that made sense. Feel free to ask any questions on the above.[/#008000]
