As you can see the difference in size of the 600w in hull on the left.
Sounder pics added, pretty sloppy conditions, no fish only green eyes today until we headedto the 90m late arvo and got our bag limit in 1 hr - close to the tide change.

you've obviously checked the keel for wood? I was advised to offset mine from the keel to one side as, while there was no wood in my keel, the extra glass made that area thicker.

Solid glass where I'm putting it
The 600w was 3cm off centre before and I had a great picture, so I presume I will get a great pic with the new one, I'll fill the back with water before I set it in place to see how it reads, just to be sure
