Whatever you do, don't get the CV transducer. There was a lawsuit between Lowrance and Garmin over a patent on technology. Garmin changed the tech "DownVu" to "ClearVu" and removed the center down looking element from the transducer. They then used a stitching method in the software so that the two side viewing elements would interpolate the down view data. The GT transducer has the 3 elements (2 side view, 1 down view) the CV has only 2 side viewing elements

Garmin vs Lowrance

Your Garmin head unit will give you a list of transducers I believe under "Sonar setup" options menu

We also need to know how deep the water are you normally fish. I run a HW (high frequency wide sonar beam cone) geared more for shallow inshore fishing
