I would go for a combination. Actually, I did. When I purchased this boat,
there was no instruments onboard. I wanted depth, but I quickly found that for
little more and more or less the same effort installing, you can get a basic
chartplotter. Btw. If you are installing a through hull transduce
Jeremy;
In 24 years of keelboat ownership, covering several boats and several
iterations of sounders and plotter/sounders from Raymarine, Garmin, Lawrence,
and Standard Horizon, I don’t recall ever having a sounder that would work for
depths over 200 feet. I suspect there are “professional”
I wondered that, too. I generally worry about less than 20 feet.

I sold a ton of Raytheon stuff back in the day that was supposed to read down
to between 600 and 1500 feet. Modern combination GPS/fishfinder units should
easily see 600 feet and some can pass 10,000 feet.
Fishermen use these depth ranges. For sailing strictly to keep off a sandbar,

My Ray/Airmar stuff reads to 600, then reads a random number. In the Gulf
Stream it must read thermal layers.

My old Raymarine ST60 depth unit will read to over 600' in the right
conditions. In the wrong conditions it reads to about 450'.

- Tri-data (depth, temp, speed over water) sounds interesting. I'll check
into that. If I go chartplotter, I'll need to figure is where to mount the
head unit. With a tiller, the wheel pedestal is out of the question.

The Airmar P79 NMEA that I installed gave me good reading when crossing Lake
Ontario last summer. I saw 680ft. My old B&G Hecta was starting to give random
values at 600ft. I was supprised as the P79 is an inhull transducer.

Jeremy — to get greater depths, you need a transducer that will accept more
power from the sounder, as well as a sounder that can provide that power. The
typical transducer most of us have on our boats is rated at 60 watts; but
they’ll take up to 100 watts if the sounder can provide that much p
While doing environmental sampling, we found that electricity really does
improve fishing; and they do float nicely to the surface. Netting is so much
cleaner than getting a hook out.Of course, what we did afterward was really

Only if you spend a lot of time with your head up against the transducer. :^)
