MC, nice set up! Do you have yours connected to the chart plotter? A chart plotter & bird radar combo is next on my list. Could not go out today, but tomorrow is a go. The whole family wants to go to a sand bar off Elliot Key and bar-b-q, so not sure I will be doing much fishing but it will be a nice family day.

no mine is a stand alone, I have been thinking of radar , but I really don't need it at this point and i think i will get more use from a enclosure first.

How much for one of those units fellas? My 1985 model King 1060 started coughing sparks and smoke a couple of days ago. Guess it's time for a new one? LOL

They've went up a bit in price MJ, cheapest I have found is $819 with a transom mount transducer. I was going to go with a GARMIN combo, but they're just to much money. So then I looked at a LOWRANCE, and have heard NUMEROUS horror stories with LOWRANCE and problems. I checked with SI-TEX and they're willing to cut me a killer deal, but it won't do everything I want. FURUNO is a top of the line machine so I think I'm going to go with a FURUNO 620 for a bottom machine and interphase it to a NORTHSTAR 550I external antenna and a fuel flow sensor added on for real time fuel milage. It's only gonna cost me about a $100 more than a combo and it will do everything I want without having to add in a NMEA2000 network. Plus if I upgrade to a larger boat with my 315HP MERCRUISER, the NORTHSTAR will interphase with the SMARTCRAFT ECM.
So how about some reports on that there 620 on the water.

I have not gave it a good test to say much yet, I still trying to learn how to use it all. But so far what I have seen works great! 35 knots and not a skip reads steady as a rock! But I did see fish on it and I caught fish so that says something!
As I get going I will see what she will do and I will fill you in.
