Thanks Ranger and cast-away.

I figured they would not work on the TM, but to me, it seems it would be good to have the units working from both places. I mean, sure it is a lot nicer to sit while you search for a spot, but when fishing, you are not at the seat, unless like I occassionally do, you use a seat in the front of the boat. LOL... that takes me back to the mid 90's when that was the norm. A seat in the front. Now it is a Pro-Pole or nothing at all. And I do like the seats for fishing, helps out the damaged knee and back, but for some reason they, the seats, are not as comfortable as they used to be.

Now back to the side scan. You talked about using the side scan on the shore line, but what about scanning humps?

Something to think about... the side scan units have imaging software, right? I mean, they try to accurately show a sunken boat, if it is a boat. So, is that software going to come to our regular sonar units? Wouldn't it be nice to have a wide angle cone, and be able to scan humps, drops, etc, and have the software to allow you to recognize exactly what you are looking at?

Just a thought.

Let's go fishing...
