Lowrance HDS5xGen2 vs Furuno 620
Submitted by timboon on Mon, 2013-01-14 10:19
FW Crew,
After your thoughts here on this pair - Lowrance HDS5xGen2 vs Furuno 620, will be mostly bottom bashing out to about 80m...
The 50/200 tranni was what i was expecting to run with either unit...
Looking to import from the US, apart from the Geofencing with the Lowrance is there anything else I need to be aware of?
Cheers
Tim

I thought you had a 585?

Agreed though I have a Lowrance and a Furuno (both older models though) and have a preference for Furuno, maybe cos thats all I used commercially.
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.
