Replacement for Garmin 80

I had a Garmin 80 which worked well for 7 years on our pontoon boat. When the Garmin 80 failed this year, I ordered the Garmin 90 from Amazon. I was able to just switch the display units since the cables and transducer were the same. I did not have to...

Nice basic fishfinder!

 

Nice basic fishfinder!

Not a new unit

 

The unit arrived in the appropriate time. However, I discovered that the unit was a return (the original purchaser's note was still in the box with the unwrapped finder). It was obvious that the unit had been returned and had been used.

Seems to work really well

What can I say? I didn't know the first thing about fishfinders when I bought this unit to install in my Hobie Kayak. Didn't even know how it worked, but I wanted to know where the fish were. Installation in the kayak was pretty much a breeze...

Product Specifications

The Fishfinder 90 combines simple operation and Garmin's exclusive fishfinder technology into an entry-level sonar that's perfect for any vessel where space is at a premium. Fishfinder 90'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 a clear black and white display and bright backlight, the Fishfinder 90 has one of the sharpest screens for the money. Fishfinder 90 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.
