Chartplotter/Sounder ??

[sparerooms]

Has anyone used or can anyone give advice on a 'Lowrance elite 4 combo chartplotter/sounder'. Would it be suitable for my 20' vivacity? Most reviews I read about it say its perfect for kayaking? Or can anyone recommend anything else for me?

I have the non-sounder version (are you sure you need the fishfinder function in a sailing boat?)

It's fairly basic, but it uses the same Navionics charts as many other plotters and it puts a symbol on the chart where you are, and that's really the main thing you want out of a plotter.

I would say it's ideal for something like a Vivacity.

I will be doing a bit of fishing but I was thinking the sounder for an accurate depth gauge.

Fair enough, makes sense if you don't already have one.
