New Raymarine Multi Function Display Units

[Gerry Zagorski]

Update - Sent the video to my boat partner and brother Joe (AV expert and toy junkie). He was all over it like Hobo on a muffin, ordered it online for us for Father's day. We're now like 2 kids waiting for XMAS morning.

He got the e7D which includes the sonar kit and US Coastal Maps. Also ordered a shoot through hull transducer.

For those of you not familiar with shoot through hull transducers, it's something to consider. First of all, you can only use shoot through ducers on solid fiberglass hulls, so if you have a cored hull you cant use them.

The advantage is they are mounted inside the hull so no holes in your boat and since they are inside the boat, they won't get fouled by marine growth and you don't have to worry about damaging or knocking them off it you hit something. They also tend to work better at running speeds since they are less prone to loosing the bottom which is usually caused by water turbulence/air bubbles on the running surface.

The down side is you might loose some sensitivity because the transducer has to shoot through your fiberglass.

Full report to follow once we install.
