A blog dedicated to the review and explanation of the multitude of marine electronics used on vessels from yachts and bassboats to kayaks.  There are so many marine electronics products available these days! How do you know what is available or which brand marine gps is the best value, the easiest to operate or the right specifications for your individual needs? We hope to enlighten our readers on subjects dealing with marine electronics products so that they can at least make an educated guess as to which products suite their individual needs.
   We will be looking at Minn Kota products, motorguide products, Lowrance, Humminbird, Furuno, Garmin and other manufacturers of fishfinders, chartplotters, marine radar, marine electronics and marine GPS units.  We hope to offer definitions, explanations, reviews, and articles on existing marine electronics. We will try to keep you up to date on new products as they come out from the major manufacturers such as Lowrance, Humminbird, Furuno, Garmin, Minn Kota and Motorguide. Depthfinders
One of the critical elements of a fish-catching pattern is depth, and it is vital for fishermen to know the depth of the water beneath them. Knowing where the bottom is dictates what type of lure you use. Even if you only "beat the banks" for bass, you will benefit from having a depthfinder mounted on your boat. Even more important, depthfinders will help you stay clear of dangerously shallow water when running the boat.
