Is there a new 5inch size Fish finder GPS combo that doesn't have down imaging?
This is for a dingy and the downscan transducers are way to long and I'm always knocking mine.
My current unit is a Raymarine Dragonfly pro which I have had for ages.
To be honest down imaging for me is a bit of a waste of time where I fish.

I had the same problem on my little 12 footer so I put one of these on. I can have my transducer up high when I launch then drop it down when I get a few hundred yards off the beach, I lift it up when I come in.

Now we are talkin , that looks the ducks nuts . 
I have a Lowrance triple shot  and the transduceris like a big diddle hanging out the back , whilst I havnt  smacked it one yet  it is of some concern .
Might get me one of them . Thanks for the tip .
