I have a 2010C, it is a chart plotter only, no depthsounder, so transducer compatibility will not be an issue, since it doesn't use one. I've had to replace the antenna once or twice (don't remember which), but they aren't very expensive.

The 2010 & 2006 can be used as a sounder.
You have to connect a gsd 20 to the head unit and the transducer to the gsd 20.
Like a said prior.
It's only 600 watt and pretty low end.
I have the 2006C with the sounder module up on my tower.
I love the older garmin chart plotters (I have a 2010c, 2006c & a 182c)
The sounder is nothing great but it's better than nothing for up in my tower.
The newer garmin sounder modules are the cats ass !
The gsd 24 is very very good.
The latest gsd 26 (being chirp or not) is unreal. Lots say it kicks any Furuno units ass !

The GSD20 that would be included is suspect. A GSD 21 or 22 are compatible with the 2010c, but would add 400-500 to the build. So if I got it for 150, antenna for 125, and GSD for 425, I would have $700 into ten year old technology.... Think I will stick with my 188c, faded screen and all, and put the $700 towards a new unit at some point in the future.
Bob S. I will get in touch with you, re. your 188c.

Ross, I run a Garmin 546S. Around $550 with antenna and dual freq transducer. NMEA 2000 compatible. I have had it on my boat for 2 years. Also run the GDL 40 Garmin weather system in conjunction with it and a Garmin 300c FF. All are hooked together on the NMEA network. Under $1K for everything.

No boat, back in the suds.

pm your address or if you are down the Plymouth area we can hook up and you can plug mine in, should still be good to go. |
