    Transom mount transducer question

    I just finished the preliminary installation of a Garmin GT52 transducer on my trailerable aluminum boat. Everything looks good, even according to the instruction manual, but would like to test it before I apply 5200 to the mounting screws just in case I have to move it up or down. I'm a little...

    Garmin 94sv Chirp with Clearview (not plus)

    I just purchased this unit and am looking for opinions on which transducer would best fit my needs. Garmin offers several options and I'm a little confused.

    Tow Bar Length

    Hi all....I just bought a new vehicle and installed a new class lll trailer hitch. My old tow bar which is 7" long doesn't leave much room (like 2") between the bumper of my SUV and the trailer tongue.
