As long as the transducer has not been mount you can return the transducer with the hardware and get it exchanged to a trolling motor transducer.

See I was right. Ain't Hummingbird good!!!!
Now if I could just get some feedback on the HB580. I was going to buy the 565 and the 580 is another $135. I mainly fish small lakes and ponds and am wondering if I need GPS on my unit. I like to crappie fish and was thinking the speed indiactor provided by the GPS as well as mark fishing spots. I was wondering how or if the 580 stores the honey hole locations and also if it did does it have a internal memory chip that would maintain these locations no matter what.
I've looked at the brochere but it doesn't describe the functions in depth.
Also BPS doesn't sell the 580.
I miss getiing this kind of information from the reps at the outdoor shows.
i bought the 565 and plan to buy a independent gps unit at a later time. from what i understand this is the best way to get a good GPS unit w/out breaking the bank.
So do you guys think that for $200, the HB 565 is the best unit out there. I don't really want to spend much more. Also is the dual beam sonar much better than a single beam, because the 535 is about 40 bucks less.
I personally like the Dual Beam and the reason being is that you get more bottom coverage if you are looking for brush pile.
Yes the dual beam is better! if your looking straight with a single beam just think of it as being able to see a few feet futher out to the sides of your boat just for example say 10 foot per side that could make all the difference in the world. (jmho)
