All,

I am replacing my 12 year old Apelco fishfinder. I am contemplating a Garmin 400C. Its on a 20 ft CC. I will use a transom mount.

Any opinions?

Thanks....
 
Yea, take someone with you that knows where the rock are hiding because I hear you cant catch any fish!

:)

I am pulling on Friday at noon if your around.
 
If its for fishing, you should look at the new lowrance HDS w structure scan or the new Humminbirds with SI and DI, way better discrimation of targets for fishing, much brighter screens, easy to upgrade software via computer downloads, priced competitively with many other brands. If cost is no object, Furuno bottom machine, but thousands of dollars more.

Those lowrances are nice but too much money for me and I don't have enough space for them on my 20 cc. I ended up with the 400c color and a transom mount transducer, df, speed, and temp (airmar p66). Less than $350.00 for both together. I am only a casual fisherman so hopefully this will be OK. I must say that based on the specs, my 12 year old Apelco 365 was pretty good. It's screen was shot though. I have a cover for the garmin, other wise I think that the Apelco would still be fine even in B&W.

Thanks all..
