Hewes Hunt Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Just bought a very clean 2014 18 Redfisher. Just curious on what you Hewes guys are running on your boats. I am thinking the Garmin 74. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my 2200v that is what I’m running and very happy with it. 2 years now, no problems 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shallowminded6 Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Simrad GO9. Garmin was my last unit and much easier application to me. If they didnt piss me off so bad Id go back. I would go to bass pro or whatever store has all of them and see which you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I have questions they take as much time as needed to walk me through. Has even told me to get on boat and follow their directions. Done over and all good. Has sent me updates free of charge, received within two days and told to keep, no sending back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewes Hunt Posted June 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 How do you like the 74SV? Do you have it on a Redfisher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim33042 Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 I have it on a 2000 18' bayfisher... easy to use.. I've had garmin most of my life and any other garmin user can hop on boat and know what they're doing...it is mounted on top of console with a balzout mount... which I highly recommend... I mounted the transducer in the pocket low and far right of the drain...that location minimizes the spray issue of the transducer and gives a good reading for side view on both sides of the boat. Many have talked about using a transom saver here on the forum, I would suggest one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious as to what that mount looks like installed. I have a 94sv... screen could be higher res and the interface could be more intuitive but it gets the job done no problem. I got it because a friend gave me 50% off on a new one. If I were to do it again and paying full price, I would pony up and get one of those brand new Simrad finders (NSX, I think). Screen resolution is noticeable if you have a recent iPhone, good desktop monitor or 4k TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
