Here is the locator I got with our pontoon boat. I had one of these 20 or 30 years ago. I had to rig up a bracket to mount it. Works great and you know it is kind of refreshing to just go back to the basics.

I got a couple of them old Eagles. I liked them for what they did.
I just replaced one on the river boat. Cause, I troll a lot and like to know speed.

That an't nutten. This was on a used boat I bought 30 years ago. Suked when the paper roll ran out on a hot spot! :mad1:
I loved the burning electrical smell coming from it when slow trolling! :smoking:

HD what did that set up back?????? i'm working momma to maybe upgrade mine...…...someday.

This is the "Hook" with the gps function. The screen is very comparable with the Eagle, only 4 inches. So, don't expect it to be as large as the regular Lowrance.
It does NOT have maps, but you can use it for navigation plotting your course. The only reason I got it was to show speed, and checking it with my cell phone...it's pretty accurate.
This the "cheap" model at $100, I got it off ebay.
You can get a lesser "Hook" model for around $85 if you don't want the gps function.
Sorry to hijack your thread LPS......

Me too! Mine is a portable unit with the transducer attached by a suction cup bracket. Rigged it with a fused trailer harness & battery charger clips to be able to use it on different boats. Think :scratch: mine was new in '84. :smiley:

I remember my first locator was a Hummingbird back in the 80's. A buddy and I bought it together. I put the transducer on a 1 x 2 and used a C clamp to hold it to the transom. We too had clamps to connect to the battery. Opened a whole new world.
