minn kota universal sonar

[exterminator]

I am looking to pick up a new trolling motor for my boat. The one I want has the option of a universal sonar. Does any one have this option if so is it worth it???

 

Thanks Joe

 

PS

The fish finder that I have is compatible with the universal sonar.

I have it and I find it works perfect. It's hooked to my Lowrance graph on the front and I love it. No extra wires!

I also have one and have never had a problem. At first I thought I did though. Went fishing, dropped the trolling motor in and started fishing. The Lowrance was working great. When I went to change spots, I pulled the trolling motor out and took off down the river. I glanced up at the Lowrance and the screen was black. I thought, what the heck is wrong with my Lowrance. Stop the boat and start checking the unit....all wires connected, power is on, everything seems fine. Then it hit me...duhhhhh.....I pulled the trolling motor up, along comes the sonar out of the water too. A few laughs and some teasing afterwards but everything OK.

I have a minn kota with the universal sonar (and autopilot) which both work extremely well. The only drawback I have is that the unit I am using has sidescan capability which I can't take advantage of with the universal sonar. Other than that, it is great.

I have had it for some time now

I love it

no wires going down the shaft..works well

 

only down side is no temp on it so if your fishfinder has that feature, it will not work

I've been using a Universal Sonar unit for 3+ years now and it works great! No wires down the shaft, very convenient! The new Universal Sonar 2 does have temp. capabilites!

Cheers,

I have one, no problems. The best part is the transducer is internal so you can smash the Electric into stuff like usual...
