In my search for a new fishfinder for the front of my boat, I would like
to
get an idea as to what you have on yours. Right now, I've got a little
Eagle
FishEasy, but when I get my new trolling motor, I want to replace the
finder
too.

My plans are/were, to get a Garmin 240 for the console and move my Garmin
160 to the front. I can get the 240 minus the transducer for about $120,
which is a really good price for the unit, and since my trolling motor
will
have universal sonar, I won't need a transducer anyway. BUT... Looking at
the Eagle 480's, they're pretty sharp too. The downside of getting this
one
would be that if I put it on the console, I'd have to re-drill some holes,
and there aint much sense in putting that unit on the front, since I would
consider that overkill.

But, what do you have? And why?

I have a Pinpoint 7520 on the console. I like it because it has the fastest
refresh rate of any locator in the industry (at least it did at the time)
and it reacts as fast as a flasher so it is handy when running. It also
shows incredible detail if you take the time to learn how to use it off the
automatic setting.

I used to have an identical locator on the bow, that worked in conjunction
with the Pinpoint trolling motor. But since the motor puked, I took it off
and went back to using the Lowrance X-65 that is built into the bow panel.
