I am trying to decide to get a Lowrance HDS5 Gen2 with Lake Insight GPS unit at the console (not enough funds to go more/bigger). Problem is don't have any idea as to which transducer works for allover best unit performance, the in the bilge epoxy'd puck thru the hull type or the skimmer type off the transom? Next would be if the epoxy'd type works best how do you get water temp? Is there anyone that can explain the installation to me on either that a layman can handle? I can't bend to get into the bilge but have a friend that will do that part if that is the best way to install it. Just really need to know the best method and then the steps needed to get correct placement, actually on either type installation. Response here is fine or if too detailed or with possible pics my email is: bobsquatch13@sbcglobal.net Possibly someone has an url reference regarding correct installation of either procedure?
Thanks for any and all help I can get on this?
