How come you're not happy with it?

Actually very happy with it. Its great. But am considering buying one with an integrated chart plotter. They're quite expensive though. Around Lm 400. My Garmin fish finder sells for Lm 250 or something like that.

Does it include the transducer? Its a very good deal and a good finder, I have an older Furuno colour but want to replace ith with an integrated charter plotter as well. Humminbird make some good models in teh Matrix range.

Yes will include the transducer. Dual frequency. It has actually given me readings till 620 Metres depth (Over 1800feet).

Is the transducer a thrugh hull and is it made from brass or plastic?

gottie · September 12, 2006, 14:32:07 CET

Its a dual frequency transom mount transducer.

That gives you guys with speedboats the advantage of not having to drill the hull, so a quick and easy fit
