Cybermuski, the new ones with the TFT screens are clear as can be with sun light.

This new tecnology was developed specificly for that reason, to combat the sun light on the screns.

Cyber,

I haven't heard that on the color units. I have a black and white one that does the job. But I have no doubt that the color one would be easier to read. I wish the color ones would have been out when I bought mine. I would have bought one in a heartbeat!

I too have heard that about color screens, however, I still bought the H20 C last week. Just about everybody I know with a B & W has told me they would buy color in a heartbeat. I guess I will find out. I know that my color screen on my cell phone is pretty hard to read in the sun, but I am trusting those I know with the B & W screens.

The guy that told me that was one of Reeds top guys so I don't know why he would steer me wrong. And this was just before the sports show in the cities. Did that new screen thingy just come out in the last week? It doesn't really matter to me which one you buy, just be happy with it! wink.gif

Just curious for those that have color electronics, such as the 332C, etc., how is the viewing on these color units in the sunlight? If the H2OC is hard to see in the sunlight, wouldn't something like the 332C be similar as far as that goes? I'm still in the dark ages and haven't gone color yet for any of my electronics. But I would think the "color viewing" technology, whatever that may be, would be similar from GPS to depthfinders and low end to high end. Any input?

I have the H2Oc and it is easy to read in the sunlight. I can see it a lot better than the BW in regular light or in the dark. WOrth the extra bucks. Also RAM sells a cool magnifier for around $35 for the unit that really makes them easy to read.

I just got the Ifinder expedtion c and posted in the equipment section. I can't see what's on the screen without having the backlight on. It doesn't matter whether there is sunlight or overcast. I adjusted the brightness and contrast but it really didn't do anything. I even went to Gander and looked at the H2OC (they didn't have the expedition c) and it was the same result. I guess I will just have to use it with the back light on.

If you can't see the screen at all, then there is a problem with your unit and the one at Gander.

My Garmin is 4 or 5 years old and I can see it just fine even with a smaller screen then the I finders.

Even my old Garmin the 45 I could see the screen.

I would box it up and send it to Lowrance for them to fix, it is not working right.

With the backlight on thats what combats the direct sunlight making it so easy to see.

The only downfall is it might drain the battery a bit faster, but what ya going to do?

You turn down the backlight at night when its dark out so it doesnt blind you when you stare at it.

I have a Lowrance GM 3500C on the boat and I love it. Its so easy to see in direct sunlight compared to the monochrome unit I had before it. Its great. grin.gif

Dad just bought a H20C with navionics premium hotspots chip. Had to teach him how to do a few things, and in doing so realized that i am buying one ASAP! Amazing little pieces of equipment. Easy to read in sunlight i thought, very accurate, and unreal the amount of lakes it has in it.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
