New Depth Finder

The X95 and the 520 both use the same casing, or at least the same form factor so there shouldnt be a problem. If the 520 has the metal heat sink on the back thatll make it need a little more depth but thats not a problem for in-dashing on a BassCat. Existing transducers will still work with it but not the temp sensors; but the shoot-thru-hull transducers wont have a temp sensor anyway. As for a power cord, Id bet the existing power cord will still power the unit itself but it wont have the power lead to power the antenna though. But then you can get a separate NMEA 2000 power cord to power your antenna seperately and everything will still work perfectly. But unless you plan to network temp sensors, fuel level meters or more then one unit together you may just want to take the simpler route and replace the power cord with the one in the box. Its not hard. Hope this helps. Deke[font=&QUOT]Deke[/font]

Oh yeah, the internal vs external antenna question. Many folks say the internal antenna works even when in-dashed; but I cant help but believe that reception is degraded resulting in slower acquisition times and reduced accuracy. Like I said recently, my external antenna will EVENTUALLY get its fix even when in the back of my garage with the door closed, but the accuracy isnt great and it takes a while. So my personal preference would be to have whatever antenna exposed as much as possible for fastest and most accurate performance. So for an in-dash, go external; for mounting at a flat angle like on the bow in the well, go external; for console mounting on a gimbal or RAM mount, go internal. Also, the dual frequency isnt useful in bass fishing applications as its designed to give the 50khz low frequency option for depths of 300-1000 or more and wont do anything for you in 1-100 depths. Hope this gives you what you need but feel free to ask if you have any other questions. Deke[font=&QUOT]Deke[/font]
