Raymarine Purchase?

[Bduck]

I did have Lowrance products in the beginning but by the time the company went thru changes I lost interest with what was going on. I looked into Raymarine and my first purchase was the A57D. I liked what it was putting on display but this unit was a little difficult using. Once I got the setting where I wanted them I left it alone. After 8yrs it finally died, next was the purchase of the RM Dragonfly Pro7. Simple operating chartplotter, sonar, down imaging unit, I really loved this unit, but it wasn't going to be very long in the boat when I looked into the Element 9HV. I was up in the air at first deciding whether get the Element since it was the latest new unit or go with the Axiom. While the Axiom is a good proven unit I decided to go with the Element. Element 9HV is my purchase in 2019. Like any computer it requires software updates, so did my previous RM purchases. This unit is easy to adjust manually which is what I use for a custom fit to the lake I'm on or you can operate it in full auto mode. It has split screens for GPS/sonar, sonar/down imaging or side imaging, quad screen, you can build your own screen for a particular lake also. I like the clarity of what I see on the display. While most use Garmin, Hummingbird, & Lowrance in this part of the country don't count out Raymarine. The first pic I added is from Jan 26, 2022 at Bear Lake of a split screen I used on the Rockpile for Cisco run.
