Evo 3

 Anybody out there taken the plunge with Simrad Evo 3 yet? More specifically with a totalscan transducer? Woud be keen to hear about results and what it replaced if an upgrade??

 Started the installation 2 days ago. Dash is cut out and ready to mount it and wire it up. I picked up a 1kw chirp for a bargain price otherwise would have just bought a total scan transducer. My unit is predominantly going to be used for navigation as opposed to a sounder. I'm also running a 588 with 1kw as my main sounder.

 Have had the evo 3 on my galeforce for a few months and cant fault it. It replaced my 3 year old evo 2 under warranty. Running a ss60 through hull and lss2 and finds fish out to 150mtrs.

Just installed a simrad s2009 and tm 185m and will run the evo3 to a totalscan. First run tomorrow out for a deep drop and marlin will try get some pics. Jump on the simrad/lowrance facebook page heaps of info

 I would love to see the pictures.

'm grabbing a EVO3 with totalscan today to replace an evo1, it's actually an interim measure as I want a bigger screen and I'm very interested in the axiom pro due end of year. I'm going to see how the totalscan goes & look at adding a B175 as well. Never know, maybe I'll love it & keep it.... And a whole heap of money in my wallet..

 

At least the changeover into my network should be easy...

 we are considering getting an evo3 NSS12 so very interested in this thread.  It will be dual purpose navigation and sounder - looking for recommendations on transducer?  I am interested in StructureScan.  Is TotalScan transducer OK by itself or do you really need to get a standalone 1kw transducer to get the most out of this unit?
