USELESS INSTRUCTIONS & FITTINGS

 

Previously I had another brand of sounder/GPS unit which was fairly basic but every fitting seemed to meld into one unit. All parts were in the box when I purchased this unit so I had no problems in following the "detailed" instructions. When this unit...

Absolutely amazing!

 

I am astounded that such a marvelous piece of technology can be so ineptly marketed. It does everything it is supposed to do, if you can figure out how to make it do it....the only thing more amazing than the lack of a manual is the unmitigated gall it...

Save your money

 

The depth finder has problems staying locked on the bottom at any depth and at any speed...even stopped. Returned it for another unit and nearly as bad. Also at depths less than 15 feet it is useless as the image is all clutter. As a side note I also...

Very nice;but...

 

I have had this unit for about a month, and have had it out 4 or 5 times. There is a lot to like about this product; but there are also some irritations. The fishfinder is excellent, and give a very clear image of the bottom. Also, the unit has built...
