Okay, LOVE THIS THING! Overall, this is an outstanding value for the money. When I compared it to other manufacturers with similar offerings, this unit offered more options for a slightly lower price. The one negative is that the manuals are very vague, especially the installation manual. I watched some YouTube videos to learn how to install it. I am using it on a fishing Kayak, and the screen size is perfect. I have used it twice now, and the picture quality is excellent. I also love having the ability to run the sonar sidescan and downscan screens simultaneously. I am really pleased with the layout and function overall. Even though I am still learning, it has been very easy to set up and use. It was nice to get on the fish and catch them, then paddle around beating dead water, not knowing if there were any fish there... I still have a lot to learn to use it to its maximum, but right out of the box, "after figuring out how to install it," it has been a dream! I love the ability to expand and add Active Target. Even just the 3 -1 is outstanding!

Very reliable and accurate for inshore or offshore. Best bang for the buck$ unless you just want a bigger screen for a permanent in-console mount.

Love it! Takes fishing to the next level!
