Jupiter, you are correct - Sapona. After I posted that I realized my misspelling and thought , oh, no one will notice and did not go back to correct. I forgot about you !! LOL

Hi Chris. Nor Tech has the Garmin 5012 touchscreen. Love it. They also make an 8 inch touchscreen ( 4008 I think ) which takes less room. I put 8" in the Donzi so charts would be compatible.
The sonar is the type that looks thu the hull so no hole. Works real good even in the soft sands bottoms of SW Florida. If you are interested I can go into my files and get the model no. etc. I'm sure it is a Garmin product as well.

Bob

You need the GSD 22 interface box and a smart transducer with NMEA output.
I like the Airmar shoot thru the hull. If you have a step bottom it has to be in front of them.
