It appears as though my SI-TEX CVS-106 has finally crapped out, and so I'm in the market for a new depth finder. I'm looking at the Raymarine DSM-300, but I know this is 3 year old technology. What are you guys using that you like (or dislike)?
Also, is there any point in spending the extra $$$ for a 1000W transducer as opposed to the 600W models? I had a 600W and I seemed to get reliable data from that.
I opted for the Humminbird 525 FishFinder/Depth Finder with temp gauge.
Installation was easy, templates provided were great. Turned it on and everything is excellent and operates at speeds up to 20 knots or better. Of course I have to slow down and turn around to get to the fish.

Are you looking for just a depth finder or a combo? If you're looking for the combo then definately go for the garmin series with the depth finder and GPS, these you can add the blue chip and it's unbeatable.
I have Garmin onbaord my vessel, best money I ever spent!
Garmin/ $800.00 to $1300.00 + Bluechip/ $150.00 = Priceless!
Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.
