Comments about Eagle Eagle Fishelite 480 Single Frequency Combo:

This unit is an extremely good deal if you catch it on sale. It has a 5 inch screen and both a chartplotter and sonar. Most sonars with only a 3-4 inch screen cost about $100 and don't include a chartplotter. The chartplotter also uses NauticPath charts which at just over $100 for the whole US are the best deal going. This unit can be had on sale for just over $200.

Comments about Eagle Eagle Fishelite 480 Single Frequency Combo:

The fishelite & fishmark I have are all around good units, but after 2-3 years they both have fogged up in the screen. They have always been garage kept, but I do fish in the rain. There tech support is very bad. I have tried to get thru to them on the phone 3 times without success. And have triede to email them, and have no answer.
