Hi,
I read with interest the post on fishfinders vs depth sounders - its seems that the former get the thumbs up. I need to fit either a depth sounder or fishfinder on my boat as I am in very tidal waters, and at moment worry about straying too much from the marked channels even though my boat only needs about 20 inches of water. I understand how a depth sounder works and is set up with a in hull transducer. Can anyone tell me how a fishfinder is set up? Is it any different? Also can anyone recommend a basic entry level model for under £150 that can be mounted in open cockpit and easily set up?
thanks in anticipation
