HI Joe. I agree completely and have noted the same points, but the owner wants to explore the possibilities. Nothing tried nothing gained, I guess!
Good hearing from you.

Best case would be deep water with steep channel sides and reefs. Worst case is where I live, shallow water and a lot of gently sloping sand and mud bottoms. Think about the geometry of it, in 10 feet of water how far can you see? 40 feet?

This is a voice from the past with a question: I am preparing to do an electronics refit on a 1987 C&C 30. The owner is very keen to install forward looking sonar as he does a lot of gunk holing and wants to keep the hull holing to a minimum. We are currently mulling Raymarine as the primary system supplier, but they do not have the forward looking technology readily available. Garmin and EchoPilot do. http://www.echopilot.com/products/echopilot-platinum-engine/ <http://www.echopilot.com/products/echopilot-platinum-engine/>. <http://www.echopilot.com/products/echopilot-platinum-engine/> EchoPilot Forward Sonar - EchoPilot Platinum Engine <http://www.echopilot.com/products/echopilot-platinum-engine/> www.echopilot.com <http://www.echopilot.com/> EchoPilot platinum engine 2D forward looking sonar ... FLS Platinum Video System Features S-Video or Composite Video Output 200m Forward Range Improved performance ... Is there any experience out there with forward looking sonar and possibly integrating a system with Raymarine?
