Also, you'll need to look it up in the lowrance manuals as I don't use that brand but you should be able to connect the head units through the NMEA inputs/outputs so you can send waypoints from the sounder to your GPS

I would leave the current transducer setup as is. Mount the other transducer for the new unit on the other side of the hull in the same position.
