Garmin 550c fishfinder

[Vince1974]

Hi all

I am thinking of getting the Garmin 550c fishfinder. Has any one here got one or used one and have an opinion on these?

It will be mainly used in Sydney harbour.

Regards,

Hi Vince,

I have had a 7000 series Garmin for 3 years now and find it excellent. The first GPS (hand held) I bought some 20 years ago from Garmin was great (though it cost me $1200). As with all things electronic, you get what you pay for. I would suggest you get the best you can stretch the budget for - it will repay you in success and even if using mainly in the harbour, you will find GPS invaluable.

Cheers,

Steve

Great unit for the money and perfect for the harbour and close off shore trips. Pretty easy to use also. Have had one for a few years now and am pretty happy with it.
