 Solid Depth Finder May 3, 2008

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I purchased this for use with kayak fishing. For this purpose I am pleased in general since I fish in the Gulf of Mexico and am more concerned with depth than structure. Since it is self contained, it also saves you the effort of installing a battery and transducer in the kayak hull.
I would consider this a depth finder only. I've been in areas where there were fish and have never seen the fish indicator show up. Furthermore, the manual recommends you swivel it around underwater to detect the fish. The problem with that approach is that when I drag it in the water next to the kayak and depress the button, it is very difficult to see the screen at all since the screen is submersed in water.
Another issue I have is that the depth and temperature are read using the same button. Hit the button once for depth and hit it again within a few seconds for temp. Sometimes you want to take a second reading to validate the first and are confused for a moment when you see the temp value thinking it's the depth. It does have the F for Fahrenheit but its small so at a glance you don't always notice it.
This is a very well constructed unit. One recommended use in the manual is for measuring distances of objects while diving. It is definitely build for it. They even recommend reapplying silicon grease on the battery cap threads from time to time. I've gotten this thing totally wet and submerged and have had no problems whatsoever. The batteries last a long time too.
Overall a well build product with a few complaints. Having a self contained unit is a definite plus but I do sometimes second guess myself over not buying a full-fledged fish finder for a couple hundred dollars more.
Norcross Hawkeye hand held sonar November 25, 2007
Craig Withrow (Lopez Island Washington)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have a small sailboat without any power on board so this hand held unit is perfect for my application. The depth is very easy to read and the unit is easy to use. It does have to be in contact with the water (I have not tried the through hull reading) but on my boat that is not a problem. The unit is larger than I thought it would be but I think that this will be an advantage as it would fit perfectly in a cup holder for easy access. The water temp is also a nice feature. It uses 4 AA batteries in a nice holder for easy loading. It is well built and I look forward to many years of use.
