Location: Cedarburg, Wisconsin | I run a 552Cigps on the front of my Tuffy through a universal sonar on my Terrova.. It is a pretty slick unit. I didn't want a bigger screen up front as it is easy enough to kick the smaller one. This shows great detail, has more adjustments than you really need, and with the internal gps it will let me save waypoints so I can "surround" a structure to make it easier to find in the dark. It takes map chips and for that I think the screen is a little small to show enough detail for my older eyes to take in. I also have a networked station in the back so I can remove it from the front and put it in back so when we are trolling the other guys can look back at their rod tips or planer boards and watch the screen to see what the depth is or how it is changing. That way I don't have to keep telling them to reel in or let out line. It has pretty much all the features of the bigger unit I run on the console so you really get a nice package for the price. They made them in two models, one with the internal gps and one without so if you want gps make sure it says "igps" after the 522C. If you go to the Lowrance site they have a simulator that you can download so you can get the feel of using one before you actually buy it. |
