Raymarine Dragonfly

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?

Go get try it out and let us know!

You bet.

I'm just a simple yak angler, so I don't know much about the technical details too much... (wasn't making a case for or against).

Just knew that this was a new product in the Yak class, and saw that Jim Sammons was using it on his Yak...

Perhaps I should have just asked him ... or better yet, go down and spend a day fishing with him as a guide to see how the unit functions.

However, I thank ye all for your thoughts . I'm always willing to listen to the advice of others.. which is the point of being a member of a forum right?

Tight lines....

Jim Sammons uses the Dragonfly and I've seen it used otw. It sure seems like a bitchin FF. If I didn't just buy an Elite5 before this came out I would definitely consider buying it. The down imaging is very clear even around 100+ft. Haven't seen it at its limits.

I've decided to purchase one, but want to see if I can get a good deal with some % off coupon to take the sting out of list price. I've owned other nautical equipment from Raymarine, or should I say Raytheon the parent company. They definitely have the depth and width to come up with the better technologies.

Now I just have to figure out which Jackson Kayak has the built-in transducer mount... .
