[PSUBS-MAILIST] Humminbird 360

Emile,
The humminbird 898c that I have has a gps. I took apart the antenna and potted it in epoxy and it works like a dream.
Thanks,
Scott Waters

Also not okay for underwater use.

Guys,
I spent some time talking to humminbird about their 360 sonar. A word of caution it is NOT a solid unit and filled with air unlike the regular transducers that are a solid unit. I believe this means it would crush under presure. They said it has a 30' depth rating. I about bought one to upgrade my humminbird 898c. Just wanted to make sure no one made a $1500 purchase not knowing this.
Thanks,
Scott Waters
