    Hi Phillip,

    You will not be able to mount 2 transducers with 200khz on your boat. They will interfere when operated at the same time. Even if you had one on the front and one on the back, you would still see interference in water deeper than 15 feet or so. (Depending on how long your boat is) Look for another unit that has at least 50khz separation.

    Good Luck,
    Jon J.

    Hay Phillip,
    I’ll tell you what I have goin on my lund 16 footer. I have a x85, x65 and Clear Water Classic all mounted on the back of the boat. On the Elec trolling motor on front of the boat I have another x65. Now heres the tricky part. I can have the x85 and the Clear Water on at the same time, or I can have the x65 and the Clear water on at the same time, but I can not have the x65 and the x85 on the back of the boat on at the same time. The x85 is so big and powerfull that it kills the x65. You gotta understand that the “antennas” (transdusers) are only 3 or so feet apart. Now I CAN have ANYTHING on the back of the boat on AND the x65 on the FRONT of the boat on at the same time. No interferance.
