I can't not use it now.... sonar is good for finding fish but doesn't tell you where the fish are in relation to your boat, that's where side scan comes in, I use it to tell me which side of the boat bait fish are on and how far away, I'll attach some pics this here is the barge wreck that I can only find by using side scan. if you don't have a jig directly on top there's no point being there |

The Simrad GS25/Lowrance Point 1 (same thing) retails for less than$400 and can be found for close to $300 in Aussie plus a little shipping. Do you have a mate that has either of those already? Garmin may do something at a similar price point too. Park your boat next to his and run a longer nmea cable to your unit and see if it works. I'd offer for you to use mine but I'm not near you. I do have a long nmea cable, you could borrow if you want. That is of course if you don't mind having different brands on the boat. That could get you a gps antenna that works for less than %50 of quote. |
