Ditto for me in Perth.

 As i said in a previous post the axiom works very well and is more than capable of meeting your needs. If you buy the real vision version it can detect fish either side of your boat in a swarth of aprox 120 degres, only the furuno 3d can do this. The 3d works to aprox 70 meters depending on sea conditions. The chirp mode down vision will work to at least 350 meters if not more. The transducer is gyro stabilised will will render a more stable  immage. Build quality is excellent and raymarine will give much longer service and parts back up compared to lowrance garmin etc.. I have owned and used the navico, humminbird and garmin versions the raymarine leaves them for dead. I  do not work for raymarine and neither do i have shares in the company. Just 45 years of real use of this gear. The U.S. coast guard purchased several thousand of the 12 inch rv models according to the HUUL TRUTH. Have a look at the video postings on the raymarine, hull truth , u tube and other web sites. The only machine better is the furuno 3d unit which retails at arrond $6500. For the best price contact Moose marine in the eastern states and speak with Anthony who has tested them and has video posted of real use. See the Panbo web site and look at thier reviews and postings.
