Thinking of changing my Electronics

[jezza2011]

Hi I am thinking of replaceing my aeging electronics on the old rib.

I have a Eagle Cuda 168 wide screen and a garmin 126 Gps.
Both are good but take up alot of my limited console space.

I was looking at getting a GPS/SOUNDER combo but which one??

any suggestions oh Gurus.

The Garmin 4" and 5" screen chartplotters both come in a sonar capable version, they are stunning value for money as they now include British Isles charts as standard.

If you have room for it then Garmin's 750S is stunning.

If you want something really amazing in terms of sonar, then Lowrance do a comparable unit that works with broadband sonar and, if you really want to knock socks off, Structurescan.

wow the 750s looks ace.but I dont have a engine new enought to use the features.
556S looks good

Lowrance HDS units are pretty good.

Happy with mine.

For Navigation I'd look at units that use Navionics charts. If you want to see what's under the boat rather than just knowing how much water you have, Structure scan is the way to go. I'd seriously look at Lowrance.

Just as a matter of curiosity, and without wishing to open a whole can of worms, whats the customer service issue?
