Guess I'll be moving my Touch unit to the bow. I notice they specify cable-steer trolling motors.

It'll be interesting to see how the image quality is, if it's clear and doesn't look like an ultra sound Lowrance will sell a lot of them. Time will tell.

CatFan or anyone else, when I first read about Chirp I thought I was going to be good but then I read where it is more for deep water like the salt guys fish in. Anyone know for sure what it can do for us?

justinp61,i think that you will really like it after youve tryed it. after i got used to my 360 its my primary sonar that i use along with 2d. Not sure how the lowrance version will operate but the 360 has two molds 360 and si/di. While in 360 mold the 2 elements spin inside the transducer housing. While in si/di they lock in place. I really dont see the need for the si/di mold on a humminbird because ive already got si/di.

Chirp sonar's big advantage is target resolution. It will allow you to see and separate targets in the 1" range or even smaller depending on the design of the system. That applies whether in deep or shallow water.

In deep water, Chirp Sonar has another advantage. In normal sonar, you need short pulses to have any kind of decent resolution. The only way to get good resolution in deep water with a conventional sonar is to increase the power, and the power required is very high in deeper water. Chirp sonar can get good resolution in deep water by just using longer pulses. No need to increase power.

It's a win-win.
