I find that incredible!!! I mean, wtf difference does it make to drinking a beer if you take a pee in a port-a-potty or in a fixed head, or over the side? Sometimes the "logic" of the lawmakers escapes me. I guess it's true what they say... "You can't cure stupid".


And no, in the states we can drink in a boat with or without a head. (Fixed or portable) But, in most states, the laws for drinking and driving a boat are the same as for driving a car. Except that if you are caught drunk boating you lose your car driving license.

I would like to apologize for hijacking this post but my question was a sample one. I was just asking a question. May be I should repost it separate from this one, LOL.

what I've found in the past with ray Marine is that their lower price line(<$1000) is usually built by some one else and marketed by them. That transducer looks just like the ones that Lowrance is using(probably made by airmar). The last time I messed with a lower end Ray marine unit was on a customers boat that complained it was blacking out. I checked it out and found that he had it on course up(i run North up) and all the features turned on. Every time he turned the wheel a little, it would rewrite the screen, because he had everything turned on, it took a few seconds for it to rewrite. I turned half the options off and set it to North up and it worked far better, he still didn't like it and replaced it with a garmin. When I was talking to Ray Marine tech service about it, the tech guy told me about them not making it

I thought that transducer looked familiar...the head looks different, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out the guts inside are the same as Lowrance's HD...

That's a pretty good price for an HD screen Sonar...
