QUOTE (Rumpus @ Aug 7 2013, 05:49 PM)  the new boat is going to have 2 Furuno Navnet 4 TZT14's linked up on the flybridge, linked to a tablet down at deck level   Maybe in 5 years time they will have something better again. We have a 585 with 1kw tranny, if I had to buy a new sounder today I wouldn't think twice about buying another although I would have a closer look at the chirp units. |

yea, THe simraD NSS IS AT LEAst upgradable and can support 1kv, so can take it to next boat, the elite 7 is what you get no upgrade.. also like the touch screen on the nss, think im decided

They do look good but I have to say the touch screen is pretty much pointless.

At least no one will pinch a simrad so there's one upside.

Rumpus I have no idea if this is good value, bad value or not what you are looking for but...

The only Add I've seen that bloke put up without the accompany of the somewhat large breasted femail.
Or did you save her for yourself ?. -------------------- Frank

Have decided on the sounder i want... The Simrad NSS but i can get 2x 7s for the price of an 8..
7 has 6.4" screen 8 has an 8" screen.. Think ill go with the 8 as i probably dont have room for the 2 7's and ill leave the navman in and use it as numerical display (speed, lat, long, etc and its a backup sounder charts when i need them. Is the extra work worth flush mounting them? or leave them in their brackets? Flush looks nicer but means cutting big holes in the dash. |

I'd stick with the brackets mate even if the work was the same.
Firstly you're not butchering your boat and secondly I think the viewing angle & location will be better with brackets. -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

After seeing the size of this new Sounder, it will fill my dash completely
 I think im best of completely removing the old unit, was originally going to leave it in as a backup etc but i don't think its needed?Will probably sell it to pay for maps fr the new unit, Unless I hang onto it to put in my small tinny for fishing the rivers of something? |

Well new unit is installed, filled all the old transducer holes with gelcoat touchup bog, just needs sanding off.. Screen is massive! split into 3 screens all of them are bigger than old unit. Will get pics when i get it out in the light. Hopefully head down the coast after my qld trip and test her out!

How did you go with the transducer mate, isn't your boat one with a queer transom?

QUOTE we will find out in due time fed! Surely you're not putting it there, you're trying to wind me up aren't you? That top map is a shocker who put that out? Did you look at the online map at navionics (navionicsplus?), to me it doesn't get any better. I think there comes a time when the lines start to clutter the screen too much. At least your boat's not queer. -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |
