List Price is 649. Downvision to 600 ft, traditional to 1200 ft. Looks promising...
Definitely ON the List to Buy. Start saving those greenbacks! |

That's a great price but I'm always a little pessimistic about having the newest technology.

From the manual - Maximum depth 189 m (600 ft) — Optimum fresh water conditions. Applies to both Sonar and DownVision. From ebay listing: High resolution Down Vision images up to 250 ft. Conventional sonar performance up to 600 ft.

most fish finders put out 500 watts. the dragonfly FF puts out only 8 watts.
This FF is better suited for fresh shallow lakes. Its a weak Fish finder in my opinion. ![]() |

I believe your looking at the power comsumption, not the output of the FF. Although the 600 feet is in optimum fresh water conditions.I'd wait a while and see the reviews.

Quote:
Power (Wattage) The power of a sonar unit is described in Watts. The term "peak to peak" is used to describe the overall output power of the transmitter. When dealing with fishfinders, the higher the wattage, the more efficient and powerful the overall unit will be. Low wattage will ultimately bring you slow readouts, meaning a delayed reaction for a reading of a spot you have already traveled over. The bare minimum peak-to-peak power would be 800 Watts, although 3000 plus Watts or more is certainly recommended for most anglers. One key point to remember: the shallower the water you fish, the less power you will need. For those that fish deep water (such as the Great Lakes or saltwater) it is best to choose the most powerful unit that your wallet will allow. |

I don't see the peak to peak power watts on any of the spects.
That's why the dragonfly FF is suspect. ![]() |

again consumption not output, from the link above "Power consumption at full brightness 8 watts" Raymarine is not listing the output wattage of the FF. look at the FAQ page. http://www.raymarine.com/view/?id=7625

Figure this out quick
I only have 30 days to try out this hds5 before sale is final. I imagine this ducer is mandatory to be in water. And how big is the transducer?
