Re use
Nice, sometimes I think I prefer the old paper sounders, the trick was setting it up so you could get about 3-4 tracks across the same sheet saving the cost of a new roll each time

Lowrance X15
Looks like the sounder is a Lowrance x15, one of the first to allow you to zoom down and not rotary like the old Marlins.
