Hi there everyone,
I'm looking at putting either a koden cvs-118 colour or furuno fcv-600l colour sounder into my 5.3m half cabin. Any input on these sounders would be greatful.

Hi mate,
I've posed the same question before, and hadn't got much of a response from Aushfish - I'm still pondering the same question.
Any thoughts you have, I would much appreciate you passing them on to me. Best of luck spending ::)

Just my own opinion

Jimbamb,

why is that I have been playing with the idea of a fishfinder 4200 with fuel monitors for my shark cat. pretty interested to hear some cons with respect to Navman systems

cheers John

For sale 1 x navman 4500

Looking for something that sees fish and can zoom in on say the bottom 25% of water with accuracy at the 20 to 100 metre ranges

Still looking..... mainly Furuno I'm thinking....... even though my old Humminbird LCR400 ID was not bad

Very happy with my Furuno - would not hesitate to recommend. Still getting used to it in the deeper waters but an awesome unit. Went the Furuno after talking with many fisho's, both regular and guides.
