Fishfinder 160C's included dual-beam transducer provides excellent shallow-water performance, and the wide viewing angle lets you see fish even off the sides of the boat. The 160C also offers Ultrascroll, which refreshes the screen with lightning speed so you always see the most up-to-date information. You can manually adjust the gain or set to Auto Gain, which adjusts the level of detail you see automatically.

    Comments about Garmin Garmin FishFinder 160C Color Sonar:

    Easy to install. Color screen is very readable even in direct sunlight. Rotating mount is useful and the cover is a nice touch. I have had some problems with the transducer. The screen will lock on the last reading and it takes several minutes for the unit to catch up. This happens even when the outboard is not running. After talking with Garmin, I lowered the transducer and got some improvement but the problem still persists. Garmin offered to send a new transducer which I haven't ,as yet, requested. Overall,it's a nice unit for the price.
