Title: Sonar Question
Post by: Wreckfish on July 21, 2009, 08:02:56 PM

I am installing a new Chartplotter/Sonar unit in my boat.  I want to leave the old one in as a back up. If both Sonars are turned on at the same time would the interfere with one another?The are different brands.

They could. Unfortunately, you will not know for sure until the install is complete.
