We are purchasing a new 20' bay boat powered with a Suzuki 140. I need to find the right chartplotter - transducer combo but I'm having problems finding what I think I need.
- 80% fishing in 2'-20' depths over hard bottom and lots of grass (Deadman Bay of of Steinhatchee, FL)
- 10% deep off of same area but still under 100'
- 10% fishing off of the ICW in the Swansboro, NC area
What I think I need/want is a Garmin echoMAP CHIRP 94sv w/U.S. BlueChart g2. The problem I'm having is finding a transducer sold with the unit for shallow waters. All the transducers that are bundled with the unit are (per Garmin) "All-in-one Traditional-CHIRP/SideVü/ ClearVü optimized for depth and rough conditions." I can't find a bundled transducer that is "All-in-one Traditional-CHIRP/SideVü/ ClearVü optimized for clearer image at shallow depths".
First, am I completely off-base on the plotter ......are there better units for what I'm doing.... and any suggestion on how to get the correct transducer?
Thanks
