Just took ownership of a 2005 Bayliner 185. I would like to add a fish finder to it. I have a Garmin 76 GPS, but wouldn't mind going to a combo unit. Following are the options I'm down to. Any advice is appreciated.

- Keeping the handheld GPS and adding a Eagle 320c

- adding the Eagle 480 and selling the handheld gps.


Obviously with the bayliner mounting space is an issue, so if you've set something similar up before I would be interested in hearing how it worked out.

Keep the GPS. Garmin offers a small mount and power cord for it. I used the mount and power cord with a GPS38 and later with a GPS12MAP. Had another mount to use either in my car, too.

Get a seperate, dedicated SONAR.
