Should I use two sonars in 12 footer?

[Black_Blade]

Was looking at some Minn Kota trolling motors and the PowerDrive V2 with the 48" shaft looked pretty good, since wanted the remote control to operate it from the back. Turns out that with an adapter plug, I can use my little Humminbird Piranha 20 with it as well. I actually have two of these sonar units, would there be any benefit from having both units operating from a 12 foot boat? or would they interfere with each other too much?

 

I know I would like to definitely like having the sonar at the bow, for it would make following weedlines alot easier...

I did get some interference between the two in my 14 footer until I dialed down the sensitivity and turned the noise filter on the front one. Seems to have done the trick. Obviously this is only a problem in deep enough water for the cones to intersect.

Good Luck

Honestly, I don't really know if it would be that great of a benefit overall to have the two running...more a case for me of doing it since I can...lol. The front one is the most important one I'm thinking.

if I had two, I would use them

only one at a time

the one on the trolling motor is great for following at weed line or to stay on top of a spot

 

but the one off the transom , is great for trolling with the big motor and for running to and from the fishing spot
