I would disagree that knowing your depth is unimportant on lake Winnipesaukee.
It's nice to know if you're going to toss an anchor, you can actually hit the bottom. Going thru channels that you are staying in safe water.
Know right where your depth is when bellying up to a sand bar. And chart plotters do fail.
If you decide to add a depth transducer, there are two kinds that we deal with. The thru-hull which requires you to drill a hole in the bottom of your boat. However I find they work best. The other is a transom mounted transducer. It is mounted on the rear of your boat. This is the easiest to install.
