Looking to buy and install a fish finder for the fishing season this year. Any good ones? And are they easy to install? Hopefully not alot of drilled holes etc...
 
I bought the Garmin 44Cv, install was about 1.5 to 2 hrs from start to finish, clear sonar presentation and almost never loose the bottom while running across the bay. Only drilled on hole to mount. Routed the transducer cable through an aft opening. Here is a good install tutorial and a pic of my transducer install. Some folks on the boards here have installed the transducer on the inside of the hull. Highly recommended doing a search here on the boards for GPS install, lots of great ideas from different sizes of boats. Good luck and take pics!
