Does any one know how good these are with the Structure scan in dams that were once valleys then flooded for a Hydro Electric scheme and are full of trees, we troll for trout and bob for reddies

There is a guy here with one and it shows just about everything. I'm thinking real serious about getting one myself. It's either this one or the Hummingbird

It is slow to load from what I've seen but presents a good picture. As for the connections, so long as it is installed according to what they specify you should be good. If you have one maybe put a electrical filter in line to keep out surges.
