It’s not a separate gauge in mine, it’s part of the fish finder/sonar. Maybe why it’s not listed on the spec?

Did you come as standard with fishfider chart plotter
I am buying a second hand one and the previous owner has taken the one or of this boat not sure what to replace it with

I bought second hand but understand it came new with it. Maybe optional extra? Not sure I’m afraid.

You have a range of options for a fishfinder from around £150 to several thousand. They all measure depth!

Personally, I would snap up one of the Mk1 Raymarine Axioms myself - they are being replaced with a Mk2 version and so are going to be heavily reduced. Hudson marine are a good option - cheapest around and they will fit it too if you need and are local.

Pair it with a CPT-S transducer (about £100) or if you want the 3d fishfinding ability, one of the RV transducers.

Then you have GPS chartplotting, fishfinder and everything else you might later need (e.g. radar) in one unit.
