Do you remember these?

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!     

I loved the burning electrical smell coming from it when slow trolling!

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  mine was new in '84.

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.
