Brand: Garmin

Located in: Fishfinders/Depth Sounders

The Fishfinder 90 wraps simple operations and Garmin?s exclusive fishfinder technology into an entry-level sonar. It?s perfect for any vessel where space is at a premium. Dual-beam transducer operation gives you better shallow-water performance. The wide viewing angle (60?) lets you see fish even off the sides of the boat. With a basic black-on-white display, the Fishfinder 90 has one of the sharpest screens for the money. The Fishfinder 90 also offers Ultrascroll which allows boaters to get a much faster refresh rate on their sonar display. AutoGain, as well as user adjustable gain, is also standard on all of Garmin?s new fishfinders.

Black-and-white FSTN display, 2.2" W x 3.2" H, 4-inch diagonal, 64 x 128 pixels

Comments about Garmin FishFinder 90:

I own a 17 skiff to use for inshore fishing and shrimping. I needed a unit that was cost effective, small and packed with the necessary features to get the job done. This unit has it all. It was easy to install, less than one hour, and to dial the transducer in for optimum performance. The definition is great, easy to dial in no matter if I am looking for drops, structure for my inshore fishing or locating the shrimp in deep holes. The best bang for the buck in a boat I have discovered yet!!
