Title: Electronics for the front of the boat..
Post by: bshaner on June 02, 2006, 04:36:59 PM
I want to spend about 400.00 on a fish finder for the front of the boat.  Suggestions?  Is this going to be enough for a gps?  I dont need color, b/w is fine.

I'll have several more solicitations for suggestions as I am gearing up for tournaments and want to be in top shape with the boat and gear.

Secondly, my console fish finder transducer has come free of the apoxy or whatever in the back of the boat by the bilge.  What is the material you use for this?  Suggestions on how to go about re-adhering the transducer to the bottom of the boat.

thanks,

Brian

The Eagle 480 Fishelite is a good deal and at www.hodgesretail.com, it's about $ 343.00

I agree with the fishelite 480. I have the same unit on the counsle of my boat. I bought a fishmark 480 for the front because I already had an eagle Cuda with gps and I just use the cuda for GPS and the fishmark for depth. You cant go wrong with the fishelite. Cabelas and BPS run sales on them throughout the year as well for around 349 and offer extra goodies like carry bags or hats.
