    Transducer suggestion

    I have a 859ci HD Down Imaging unit on the bow of my boat. Previous owner kept the down imaging transducer off the trolling motor. What would be the correct/good transducer to get? Fish mainly shallower lakes with a couple Lake Erie trips thrown in a year.

    Thanks
    Mike

    XTM 9 DI 25 T matches the transom transducer 2D frequencies--200/455 kHz.
    XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T does 83/200 kHz 2D sonar.

    Wayne is one necessarily any better than the other?

    Thanks

    You pick the coverage you want:

    83/200 kHz is 60/20 degrees
    200/455 kHz is 28/16 degrees
