IMOHO - Based on my experience with both, I would find out why the Garmin
isn't working properly. I would rather have a cheap Garmin than an expensive
Huminbird. Check your cable for frays/breaks but most importantly, check
your transducer installation. If you don't have a manual , you can probably
get it at http://www.garmin.com

om...
it is that time of year again. I have a 25' four winns that I keep in
the water for 8 months or so. When it is not in the water it is at
some marine storage area. Since I don't own a trailor, I have my local
four winns people winterize it. Since I don't have a trailer, I must
get everything that needs to be done to it when it is out of the
water, done now.
I have a Garmin GPS/Sounder and a small round in-dash depth finder.
The built in round one hardly works and the Garmen works poorly at mid
to high speeds. My mechanic says that they all do that, but he suggest
replacing the in-dash one with a new one and new transducer, perhaps a
hummingbird. "Total cost for parts and labor around $400."

What do you poeple think?
