What Electronics

[DickUrban]

I have a Lund Rebel 1650 tiller and have had only a simple depth finder, which is now shot. What brand/model electronics would you suggest? I plan to mount it near the stern.

I have always had good luck with Eagle/Lowrance. They have a great line of products and services. For a GPS/Fish finder combo, Lowrance has a new M56m S/Map, that runs for about $299. If your looking for just a fishfinder, the Lowrance X47EX Wide Screen has the best bang for the buck right now at $149. Hope this helps a bit.

I would highly recommend any Lowrance product. Have run several different units over the years and have had no disappointments. Which model you buy depends on how much $ you want to spend, regardless, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for your advice guys.

I got the LMS-320 by lowrance last year. It has both gps and sonar and you can use both in split screen.
The reason I got this unit was that I could use the lakemaster chip for Mille Lacs and now you have ProMap chips for 3 foot depth increments for many lakes that are available. If they have a map available for the lakes you regularly fish I would consider this unit which is about $600 or less.

If you still want to stay with a fairly simple set up and not get into the high buck stuff, take a look at the Eagle Fishmark 320. 320 pixels for good clarity and only runs about $189.00

I would second the fishmark 320, I bought one last year and it is awesome. You can get them for around 160 bucks right now.

Thanks for your sharing your experience. I'm not surprised to get different opinions. I'll look into all that you have mentioned.

My PERSONAL opinion, I wouldn't use Lowrance. I wont go into the details; but take a look at Raymarine (Raytheon) products. They are technolically ahead of the competition in my opinion with a very good heads up service dept.
