[cool]Hey FF, the transducer is at the bottom of the shaft...that 1/2" PVC tube in the middle of the rod tubes. I have attached another pic to the bottom of this reply.
My Eagle runs off a 12V SLA (gel cell). Your friend may like the Fishing Buddy, but he is in the minority. We all tend to like what we are familiar with, and if he has not tried other sonar systems it is understandable.
Before you make a final decision, I suggest you find a dealer that sells the Cuda 168. They will usually have one hooked up to a battery and let you play with it in "Demo Mode". You can see the output and the different types of options on the menu. I don't know of any other system that has that particular "tutorial" going for it.
But, again, we are all entitled to our own preferences and presonal opinions. Good luck with whatever you decide upon. And, we expect a full review...good, bad and ugly.
