Fish Finder Questions (side imaging)

[SoCalEDC]

Hey Fellas,

Anyone successfully running side imaging on their yak? How do you like it and where do you find it most effective? Looking to outfit a new yak and curious if its work the extra couple hundred bucks.

Secondly, It seems like Lowrance units have been having some issues lately (at least the various forums for kayaking on the internet would have you believe this). I had a Humminbird on my last kayak and liked it, but I am open to other brands. Lowrance seems to be pretty popular in the kayak world, but im not sure if thats just because they were linked up with Hobie for a few years.

Any input would be appreciated

Thanks
