sounder(s)/transducer(s) suitable for Nobeltech Catch
Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2015 7:09 am
Hi all:
Was wondering if any out there had opinions/suggestions on suitable sounder/transducer combos that will integrate/communicate well with the Nobeltech Catch program. Thinking Furuno, but open to suggestions. Am starting from scratch (will schedule haulout in next week or three after buying/receiving electronics); boat presently has a Morrow 60 (not even the 120!) flasher, so reckon it's prolly time for an upgrade (/sarcasm).
Considering two unit combos for redundancy: one, a bare-bones functional/serviceable sounder/transducer combo plus another that is sorta mid-range in price/capability (I know price/value is relative, cuz you can spend gazillions if you want to, so a ballpark in dollars is 2-3 grand -- will that amount cover a unit combo with sufficient sensitivity for the needs of a troller?). Would consider spending slightly more if there's a compelling reason to do so. Model names, brands esp. handy (lotta options, allus useful to winnow to specifics).
Thanks to any and all that take a moment to kick around ideas/suggestions.
