Hi Team
I don't post very often but would like some opinions on Bidata setup for my TS, depth and speed only.
Complete set up delivered from around $600 aus from Clipper in England.
I already have a through hull from an old system that was stolen [prior to my purchase of the boat] and this unit seems priced well and with a single transducer it means I don't have to drill any more holes in the hull.
So I guess I'm asking what do you all have and what's your suggestion
Thoughts and opinions very welcome

Hi Scott
I use a fishfinder for depth (Garmin) They are generally cheaper and I can glance at it and see the bottom profile trend as well as the depth in large digits. Great for determining bottom type for anchoring too.

I have a separate speed log (Cruzpro).

If your hull is solid glass you may be able to install the depth transducer without drilling a hole. Test the transducer by placing it in a puddle of water where you would like to site it. If it works you can resin it in place ensuring there is no air under the transducer face.

I turn my depth off to save power when offshore to save battery power.

Sorry I can't offer an opinion on a depth speed combined instrument other than you may not be able to turn the depth off when not required.

cheers
Wayne
