I would get the in-hull transceiver. P79, if memory serves me right. This is what I did. I don’t like making holes in the hull, if I don’t have to. There was a lot of discussion on the installation topic here and in other forums. The short version of that all is to install it where you want it (probably ahead of the keel, if nothing else to avoid any water turbulence around the keel) and try it there, before installing it permanently. A Ziploc with water under the in-hull transducer should work as a temporary measure. Eventually, you want to have solid contact with the hull. Some people install in a tube filled with oil).
When you buy the transducer, make sure that you get the right one. They come in 6-pin and 8-pin versions (the cable (I think 30 ft) is directly attached and you need to know what kind of connector you need for your Garmin chart plotter). I think you need an 8-pin cable. Also consider if you need an extension cable. When you route the cable around the boat it takes a lot of length, sop probably a 20 ft extension is on order. I cannot comment on the other issue, but probably NMEA 2000 network would help.

I know it can be done . I want to keep 2 different depth sounders one in the New Garmin transducer and one in the older st50. One question on that topic? should I put the 2 depth transducers one astern and one forward? so I can see both ends of the boat better or keep them both just forward of the keel. and sense I have not purchased the Garmin transducer yet do I get the in-hull or the threw-hull?
