Carson,
I have an 1101 and have only used it a few times .I am inexperienced at using sonar so I`m still getting used to it. I am still toyin with the mounting but you have to be careful in shallow water with the transducer hitting rock or whatever if you have it mounted low like mine,also I was getting some echo problems with my original set up. I agree it`ll get the job done ,but at some point I`ll switch to a 12v style like eagle or lowrance.My 2cent. Mike P.
