    Hey folks,
    I bought a 1750 Crestline Fishhawk last year and would like to put a flasher or graph in the front so I’m not fishing “blind” up there. What do you guys use on the bow and why? What advantages and disadvantages are there for your choice? I have a Minnkota bow mount with Universal Sonar so I’d like something that could take advantage of that. By the way, I’m a multi-species fisherman if that makes any difference.

    One graph I’m looking at for this is the Eagle Fish Easy 320C color graph. What would you think of this graph for this purpose? Is the screen big enough to see when you are on the casting deck? The reason I’m looking at this model is that I have it’s big brother the Lowrance LMS-330c on the console and love it.

    I also have a Marcum flasher I could use if they would ever make an adapter for the Univ. Sonar.

    Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
    Clark

    I run a Vexilar Edge on my bow. One of the best LCD’s out there. It has one of a kind dual transducer technology with incredible detail.

    I have a Garmin 240 up front now on a Minnkota UnivSnr set up. It is not working as well as when it was on my console.
    I am moving my X51 up front and getting a new X-20 from JollyAnn fo the console of my 1750 FishHawk

    I have a Eagle Fishmark 320 up front. Works very well for me. I also bought a tranducer for the trolling motor that will work with my Vexilar flasher so I can put that up there too for fishing supended panfish if I want to. The thing that is really nice about a graph up front is while you are busy watching your line/rod tip if you are driffing and or jigging for walleyes or if you are busy casting you can still see a big picture of what the bottom is that you are going over.
    Thanks, Bill
