hello ausfish members,
I would just like to know what would be and ideal sounder that would suit a 15 yearolds dinghy and budget. thanks

I have a Humminbird matrix 17 which is quite good IMO for the $$
Depends if he wants so soo structure, fish etc, or just the depth.

What is a 15yr old's budget nowadays anyway? When I was 15 the only depth guage I could afford was a long stick...

I would be looking at the Cuda sounders in BigW and other department stores. They are around the 200ish and leave you 400ish for a motor.

Have you tried to fix your existing sounder? Should be possible to patch in new wire to replace whatever's been chewed.

Because you are a young fisho and not a playstation goober (and thats how I want my son to be) PM me your details, I know some awesome people in the electronics industry, maybe just maybe we can save your current sounder

Might be worth contacting garmin directly to see if they can help, they may be able to tell you if a current model transducer will work with it.
