it looks like you can integrate these things with navionics which would be awesome!

I have a SIMRAD TP32 on my 34ft S&S. I think you will find that is the one recommended for larger boats.
Easy to install and wire in to the chart plotter. It handles the boat well on all points of sail in 25kts or so offshore. It doesn't need any holes for a control panel. I got a spares kit when I bought it 5 years ago but there have been no problems with it.
Hope that helps.
