You can get US2, DI or even SI transducers on some trolling motors.I do think that you might find some benefit from side imaging for finding structure. If you don’t want to penetrate the hull you could always rig up a side mount and remove the transducer from the water beflow moving at higher speeds.When scouting new water  I typically run both down imaging and side imaging at at the same time. So maybe keep the old 93SV if you already own one and use with the TM transducer (if it’s supported) and pick up a seperate side imaging unit.My newest old boat came with a 93SV and the screen resolution is so poor that it’s really hard to read. It reads depth well at speed but, I would not recommend buying one at this point.</blockquote>
