Sonar wattage for offshore fishing?
This long-planned offshore fishing trip for salmon, prawns etc,?is coming up, and other than mounting the kicker, everything is good to go. Am, however curious as to how I can expect my current sonar to perform in 200'+ water.
Right now, running an Eagle Fisheasy 320C. 60 deg beam, and 800 w, (100 rms). Transom mount. What can I expect from this unit? Would I really benefit that much from looking at installing a more powerful etc unit, or should I be fine with the 320C?

A: Because the fish are awake. Get in the car.
