I am buying a Minn Kota Terrova 101,but before I do I have a question for those who already own one. Does the universal sonar work effectively? I have a powerdrive 74 now and my Lowarance x-65 will work for a couple minutes and then loses bottom and starts reading off the chart depths. I know this could be the sonar unit itself. However,has anyone had troubles with the 101 doing this with other, or all units? Is the extra hundred bucks worth it?
I was also thinking about going with the old mount the transducer with a hose clamp on the lower unit of the motor.
Help me out with some feedback on all the above...........Thanks Paul

My last two trolling motors have had universal sonar. Wouldn't be without it.

I've used the US since 2002. Never had a problem. The newer US2 on the Terrova works even beter.

If you want sonar on the bow then its yes. I have US an probably should use it a bit more. Go for it.
