  1. Rich, when u say sounder.............Im assuming u mean a fishfinder such as an Apelco which includes navigational stuff as part of its software???

    I never take much notice of what speed Im doing anyways but the actual depth is something Im watching all the time............obviously specially in shallow waters or those I dont know as well.

  2. ^^^^ What he said.

    It would also be reasopnable to expect that a 3cyl would last longer.........hopefully by about 33%.

    However there are also more bits that can go wrong on a 3 cyl and also some poarts are not affected by the number of revs a motor does and will hence wear out in the same ammount of time.

    Personally if I had the money then I would spend the extra grand cos it would be worth it in the long term.

  3. Yeah Joe is spot on correct..........the current has a big effect on them and whether your going against or with it.

    I tested mine against my GPS one day and found it was out by mnore than 10%.

    My sounder has a spot where u can adjust the % that your speed is out by but to be honest u just cant set it up properly as it would have to change when ur going in the opposite direction.

    They give u only a very basic idea of what speed ur doing.
