I have fished from his boat on numerous occasions. Yes his boat differs in that it is a 5.75m glass boat but the boat and motor weight is probably similar to your 645 Extreme. It's clear that the problem he still has is caused by the transducers not being in clean water at speed. 34kts in the river and the screen pic is great. Take it on the ocean though with a bit of slop and the screen clutters around 15knts. This is a common problem, I've read it so many times. Yes better results are achievable at speed. Another mate had two different 7m glass boats both with twin 150s. TM260 transducer placed between the motors in line with the keel and both had no issues at 25kts+. I have the same issues on my 8m glass Cat. TM258 transducer has no issues in flat water but in a sea of over 1m I have clutter over 12-15kts which was really frustrating when I was looking for new ground in the deep. |

We have had great results and when I purchased mine with the boat 2.5 years ago it was well below the 5k mark. I think most of the mid to top brands are all good, I had purchased a Ray Marine when I had the old boat and had a lot of issues even after it had been sent back for warranty repairs but I'm sure their new models are good too. Our Simrad is brilliant would recommend to any one

Would like to bring to your attention that most of your units can capture image/screenshot on your fish finder. No more reflections on the screen, sunspots, fishy fingerprints, water droplets or condersation ... and its instantaneous;) |

Hi Mr Moritz, have a look at this video, he is very articulate and informative. I belive this is your unit/ fish finder. If you have any questions i would try to guide you through the operator manual. Btw. Furuno, Garmin, Hummingbird, Simrad/Lowrance ... all have this future for ages ;) Methinks the difference is clear :) P.s. The last down scan image is from Chelsea Sugar Factory, can anyone share some more info on this wreck ? |
