it looks real cool but to be honest i am more concerned with what is under my boat and i usually fish in 100-300 ft depths of saltwater. this looks more like it was made for lake fishing.

Rod,
All of the side imaging units include dual beam down looking sonar that provides highly detailed downlooking sonar to 1500 foot standard and optional transducers can reach up to 3000 feet. The side imaging beams will image down to 150 feet to show great detail of the bottom, fish and bait fish. The beams cover up to 240 feet out to both sides of the boat. If you talk to any saltwater angler they will tell you that the side imaging is incredible in helping them find schools of baitfish out to the sides of the boat and then they can mark the schools and drive over them and see them in the downlooking sonar and catch them. Even in water deeper than 150 feet the side imaging will still show you fish and baitfish in the top 150 foot of water.

can you mount the transducer in the normal location , the same spot where mine used to be mounted? are the actual screen viewings as clear as when on demo mode?

Steve, the side imaging technology does often require different mounting locations versus a traditional downlooking sonar installation. With traditional downlooking sonar, only the path directly below the transducer must be clear from obstructions. With side imaging, because it scans both below the boat and out to both side of the boat the transducer must be mounted in a location where there is a clear path below and out to both sides of the transducer.
