Hi Guys,

Looking at different depth sounders to install on my 1997 Supra Vision. The old depth sounder was broken on the boat when I bought it and it is a Lowrance that has been discontinued (or I would probably get the same one to simplify installation) so I am needing a new one. I mainly boat on the Columbia in Tri-City area so have survived without one but still want to get one for peace of mind.

Wondering what is the easiest to install and which brand is good bang for your buck. I looked into hawkeye they seem to be a pretty good deal. I would prefer a thru hull transducer unless the in hull transducer is really worth it so that I don't have to drill through the hull/transom.

Any help is appreciated to a noob boat owner.

Thanks.
