Comments about Eagle Fish Elite 500C Sonar/Chartplotter:
Great GPS/Sonar unit for the price. I really wanted the Lowrance 520c but just could not justify the additional cost. I have to say I am really pleased with the fishfinder. The GPS works great and I was able to actually see fish on the sonar and catch them. I was concerned that the transducer would not work on my trolling motor, but it mounted without a problem using the large pipe clamp and cushioning from my old fishfinder. I believe Eagle makes an optional kit for this as well. I was also concerned about the lower resolution of the display compared to the Lowrance, but after fishing with it, I am 100% satisfied. I wish I hadn't waited so long to get one of these units!

Comments about Eagle Fish Elite 500C Sonar/Chartplotter:
The idea to combine a GPS and a Fish finder sounded great and it is, except the transducer line to the transom was way short so can't use the sonar! keep in mind my boat is only a 25 footer so helm to stern is around 15 ft total and the wire is short?? Come on! This counts as a defect.
