If I purchase the package would I need anything else other than a transducer? I,ve found the package deals for around 2500.00
As it stands right now, the ducer should be the only extra you'd have to order seperately.
One other item you might consider, (but not necessary) would be an antenna stanchion mount for the gps antenna. You can surface mount it, but I like raising it up a bit. They include a pole mount adapter.
If you do consider adding radar.... the unit has 3 network, (ethernet) connectors on the back, which makes adding radar easy, (no expansion box necessary, unless you add another display later). 1 connector for the gs22 sounder, 1 for the gxm 51 weather/radio unit... leaving one connector unused.
The gps 17 antenna gets hard wired to the displays nmea 0183 and power, (+ / -). The nmea wires are located in the power data cable.
