OK Fishfinder

 

I purchased this fishfinder based on the Garmin name and the price. It is satisfactory for casual use, but sometimes it locks up and must be restarted to become functional again. OK purchase for the price, but I would have been better off to get a...

One Glitch with a Good Product

 

While it's been noted elsewhere this very good product has a cable interface that is too LARGE for common scupper holes (Boston Whaler Montauk). Consequently you can't use those drain holes to "thread" the cable through to get to your sonar transducer....

Made the hubby happy.

Garmin Fishfinder 140

 

I really like this fish finder. The guy that complained about the 1 1/8" inch hole? I've had an Eagle and a Humminbird and both had to have that size hole? For the price it's a nice fishfinder. Go to your local boating store and buy a nice chrome...

Not worth the money

 

I've had this product for 3 months and it stopped working 3 weeks ago. It simply will not turn on and prior to it not working anymore it has problems with freezing and not scanning. If you move from shallow to deep water you have to reset the unit for...

Product Specifications

The Fishfinder 140 combines a 4-inch grayscale display and Garmin's exclusive fishfinder technology into an entry-level sonar that's perfect for any vessel where space is at a premium. Fishfinder 140's included dual-beam transducer provides excellent shallow-water performance, and the wide viewing angle lets you see fish even off the sides of the boat. With an easy-to-ready grayscale display and backlight, the Fishfinder 140 has one of the sharpest screens for the money. Fishfinder 140 also offers Ultrascroll, which refreshes the screen with lightning speed so you always see the most up-to-date information. You can manually adjust the gain or set to Auto Gain, which adjusts the level of detail you see automatically.
