Anyone use this option on the powerdrive? I added two lowrance units to my boat. One will be up front using the built in ducer. Was wondering if anyone had positive/negative opinions. YAYYYYY!!!!!! No more fishfinder on a stick! lol (humminbird fishin' buddy)

I've got it on my Terrova. It's not bad, but rely on my Lowrance ducer. I think alot is "lost in translation" and that "universal" isn't that uinversal. It shows depth fine, but detail and readability isn't near what the factory ducer is. (And yes, I know quite well how to adjust and set my HDS sonar.) It's just not the ducer the factory one is, but it's nice seeing depth in the front and water temp is usually within a degree or two of my factory ducer.

I run my front unit as a GPS and my console unit turned around on a RAM as my sonar, so my next trolling motor (Riptide) won't have US2.

So I've never had any problems with it, I just don't rely on it as my primary source of seeing the bottom.

Thanks for the input Jeff. Since I won't be working with the HDS series (elite series), hopefully the difference won't be so noticeable. I'll run with it this season and evaluate afterwards.
