Any of you fishermen have or used the Raymarine A60/DIGITAL SONAR MODUAL? If so any opinions, likes dislikes before I purchase it?

I had the A60 on the old boat, it was a good unit but the transducer that it came with wasn't the best. The only one that i could get to replace it in time for the proams last year was the thru-hul airmar B-45, it's an entry level model but 10 times better then the transducer that came with the unit. Definitly was worth the investment.

Mat,

Did it come with the sound module? I can get this unit cheap, I will try to negotiate the thru hull transducer.

I saw this unit on another boat and I liked the options, clarity and the split screen. Tough unit to pass with $400 off the original price but the unit has to be good for the money also.

Thanks for your help.

400 off the original price makes the unit a steal. Don't get me wrong we fished for a year a half before we switched transducer, it worked fine at trolling speed but we like to cover ground and look for bait at cruise which calls for the thru-hull. and yes we had the sound module with it. Once you get familiar with the unit u'll enjoy it.
