I am currently using the built-in sonar functionality of my ES97. It is connected directly to a B164 1000 Watt transducer. However, the ES97 will only operate at 600 Watts. I am hoping that adding a CP370 will improve performance as it will operate at 1000 Watts. My issue is space - not a lot of places for me to but the CP370 box. The manual says "Note: Raymarine recommends mounting the unit vertically." I found a good location close to the power source and MFD with plenty of air space around it but it would require it to be mounted horizontally. Is there any issue with mounting it horizontally? Any components that sense orientation? I will still be able to see the status light if needed, but I assume this is a device you rarely look at.
