how much to pay for a cheap 2nd hand sounder?

hi guys,

thinking of doing a kayak on a budget (even cheaper if i win that one on sunday!!)

i have my gps60 which i could mount to give me to gps function, just wondering what sort of money i would be looking at for a cheap fish finder setup. (as basic as possible.)

 

any idea what something like this would go for? donations are openly accepted.Smile

 

cheers

I have an old

Furuno's LS4000 LCD fish finder is compact, waterproof and --. It packs 300 Watts RMS (2400 Watts P-P) of transmitter power for unparalleled fish-finding performance. ( as the webpages says...lol
I also have a 600watt transducer for it.

cheers

sunder and tranny

mate, you can get both the LCD sounder and tranny for $100, that way I can pay for the ladder from the Archie... ;-)

It was a back-up unit on the boat, but I have now got a FCV585 with a 1kw tranny on it.

It would be perfect for your yak, as youy could mount the tranny inside the hull and shoot through. The unit uses bugga all power.

cheers
