Colour Fish Finders
From experience can anyone tell me if colour fish finders are any benefit over the greyscale ones? i'm caught between a Garmin 140 and a 160c

Re: Colour Fish Finders
To be honest would you buy a black and white TV.
Once you get the grip of colour you'll wonder why you ever thought of B & W
This is what a ball of herring looks like on colour.
Pic 2 shows the end of the shole and the true depth
pic 1 shows the depth at 32.2 feet but the red section at the botton of the screen is the true depth. just lest than 55 feet.

Re: Colour Fish Finders
I'm thinking of picking one of these up. Are they hard to fit. As of now we have no electronics in the boat so i just fish along reefs and gullies not knowing if there's anything down there. I usually come across fish but i can't help thinking my chances would be improved if i had a few of these type of gadgets plumbed into the mishka.

Easy to fit, you just put your transducer onto the transom, run a cable through, feed it to your power source and it splits off to your unit mountevan699 wrote:I'm thinking of picking one of these up.
