I did a test with two brand new Elite 3x fishfinders and the old Cuda 168; the Elite 3x color screen was nice looking, but the Cuda 168 was more accurate across the board. Both fishfinders, in fact most of Lowrance's lower priced units, use the same transducer. Try adjusting the sensitivity on the Cuda 168 and don't use the "fish ID" setting, use the one that shows arcs. I don't really trust fishfinders to find fish, I just use them to find out where they might be.
Until I find a replacement, the Cuda 168 is back on the boat. It may not be the best fishfinder in the world, but it works.

That's very interesting to hear. I'll give that a shot. Thanks! The lower battery usage is definitely a plus!
