I ran a unit two station system. I don't mind unhooking from the console and then moving to bow and vice versa. You really need two power cords, 2 bases and 2 transducers to be really effective though. This wires are too delicate and too expensive to live on the deck. First I had a 798 with the snap in base. This was slick and fast. Now I have a Helix 10 so it is a little more time consuming unscrewing the Ram knobs and plugging and unplugging. The 798 did all this in one move. Just be super careful. These things don't float. Once false move and your FF is in Davy Jones locker. Like my little league coach said "Use 2 hands damn it!!!!"
