First will two transponders mounted a couple inches apart interfear with each other?
Second will a speed (paddlewheel) sensor interfear with a transducer mounted within a couple inches of it?

Thanks for help BEFORE i mount my new stuff

Depends< not the answer you were hoping for but the frequency of the transducers will determine that. I have 2 on the back of my boat and they work great. I have gotten interference from other boats when they get too close, but you can tell that and it does not last for long. As far as the speed wheels, no I don't think they interfere as I have one that is snaps onto the back of one of one of the transducer. They are really accurate most of the time.I have that and the GPS and most of the they are really close in the readings. I do all my running in the salt chuck.

Thanks, speed wheel was my main concern-
I had a Lowrance X75 that stayed wihin 1 MPH of my GPS
I just got a X87 with speed/temp that i'm putting on my "new" boat & wanted to mount them fairly close togeather-
I have a little Eagle that i might just keep on the boat since its there so the transducers close was a little concern- most likely will remove it anyway
