My boat has a Uniden qt-206 depth finder... well, it has the unit itself but not the transducer.
I can get a transducer from ebay for $30
My question is should I just replace it completely with a newer unit (maybe something with built in GPS)
Our boat is lake based in Colorado and the depth finder will only be used when anchoring for the day/night.
The idea of the GPS (I was looking at on of the Garmin models) was that we could mark favorite spots and make it easier for a friend whom we have given access to the boat to, to find these spots easily.... That and new gadgets are cool. (but not really needed where we sail)
