Depth finder advise

**walleye2go** · 08-04-2013, 01:23 PM

I'm with Wes on the Airmar. I mounted a through the hull Airmar B60 and can mark fish on plane. I haven't used a Furuno but have heard good things from quite a few people. Sorry I can't ever remember all the cone angle jazz with 55 and 200 but I'm sure somebody on here can tell you.

I have a Humminbird 598CI HDSI COMBO that I bought just this spring that I am selling. Includes a RAM mount with rail attachment. I am selling because I am buying a boat that is fully rigged out, and there won't be enough room for this unit also.

Paid $700, open to offers.

I purchased a new furuno combo this spring the 1870w with a thru the hull transducer It works great. 8 inch screen about 1600 for everything including a nav chip. I bought it through Gill Travis.

I am getting a lot of very useful info I have never heard if fumuno but will be checking them out I would have to assume they are very pricey but they sound like they may be worth it . Maybe it would be wise to buy a good fish finder then a GPS separate

Some killer deals on Ebay. That's where mine came from.

I have a ELITE 7 and the DSI works nothing like those nice pics on the simulator mode.

Agreed 100%
I was taken by the good marketing they did on that one.
As soon as momma allows, I will be in the market myself.

the 1870 is the same fish finder, they added the gps to the unit for the same price.

have a Garmin 5212 touch screen. Very fast to move around the screen. It gits er done. I think touch screens regardless of brand are a lot simpler to operate rather than 12 buttons. Garman has a no brainer menu.
