Todays high-tech, multipurpose fish finders are designed to produce a range of readings from bottom contour, fish location, and thermoclines, to a variety of other useful sonar data.

Thanks for your feedback
I fought with a Humminbird 600 for years trying to get it to read consistently. I finally gave up and bought this unit. It works 100% of the time and updates while you are underway.

br /Pros: you can read it w/ polarized sunglasses (unlike the Humminbird); contains hardware for both in-the-hull or transom mount (the Humminbird you have to buy one model for either); large digits.

br /Cons: It only goes to 199 feet, so if you want to anchor and you are in over 200 feet, you have no idea if you have enough anchor line -- although in inland lakes I have never been in that situation. It doesn't include a chrome bezel, but you can buy one from the Norcross site for $15.

br /Buy it! It is a very solid unit. I couldn't be happier. In my application I'm shooting thru the hull of a fiberglass boat. The puck is held with Devcon 2-ton slow cure epoxy.
