Very Good sounder for dinghy

 

I installed this sounder on my dinghy that I use for spearfishing, cruising the Pacific Coast of Central America and Mexico. It works just as expected and I was able to install the transducer inside the hull. Worked perfectly and was very easy to deal...

Great unit for the price

 

I was on a budget and needed a depth sounder for the new tender, this exceeds what I thought. Great color quality in sunlight . Will be trying out the fish finder soon this fall.

Consumer review by:

Doesn't work well and didn't show any fish, also the wrong depth.

 

When I installed it, it listed the wrong depth. It was listing 33' when I know I was in 33 inches. Didn't show any fish either, just debris in the water column. Was not a good investment of time or money.

Good moderately priced unit

 

Bought this unit to replace a Lowrance and try out the color scale type unit---It works well once you figure out which settings are the best for your type of fishing. Would recommend it for the color scale and clarity alone BUT it is advertised to show...
