Raymarine Dragonfly - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I don't see the peak to peak power watts on any of the spects.
That's why the dragonfly FF is suspect.

I like my fish finders with MORE POWER!!

I only have 30 days to try out this hds5 before sale is final. I imagine this ducer is mandatory to be in water. And how big is the transducer?

You bet.

I'm just a simple yak angler, so I don't know much about the technical details too much... (wasn't making a case for or against).

Just knew that this was a new product in the Yak class, and saw that Jim Sammons was using it on his Yak...

Perhaps I should have just asked him

... or better yet, go down and spend a day fishing with him as a guide to see how the unit functions.

However, I thank ye all for your thoughts

. I'm always willing to listen

to the advice of others.. which is the point of being a member of a forum right?

Tight lines....

The screen to unit size on the Dragon fly is awesome. I have been using this unit for about a year now and absolutely love it. No issues at all.

My next FF is going to be the Dragonfly with the 7" screen. Check out the youtube videos, the most impressive that I have seen is when a diver is on a wreck showing video of what is seen on the FF screen. You could follow the 3/4 dive rope all the way to the wreck, pick out individual supports on the bow rail, rope from bow to the ocean floor. It's the technology of this unit, each crystal in ducer fires at a different frequency, the more crystal's, the better clarity (to some degree).
The tarpon and bait schools are super cool, you could make out the shape of a turtle when sea turtles were below, super cool unit.
Now just link it up to Google Glasses.......maybe some day.
