[DG] [DG] Transducer for CP 470

[striperstan]

I'm running a system (es128 and es97) with a networked CP470 and am looking for transducer options for my 27 ft catamaran.

I've been having good results with my M265 transducer, but the installation never lasts more than a year or two before the tank adhesion fails and it starts leaking. I've tried both 5200 and three different professional fiberglass installations. I'm thinking of going to a pocket mount. (PM265) rather than re-doing what I have yet again.

Boat is a ProKat 2660, and I believe there is enough space back aft by the battery shelf. I've got other transducers mounted there that work fine, so I know the water is clean enough. I bottom fish in water up to 1200 feet deep, so I'm also considering the CM111; but I don't know if I have room, or if the extra expense is going to make a big difference.

Looking for some real-world experience, as well as advice from the electronics gurus as I make my decision.

Thank you,
Stan
