I fish in 10' to 30' water most of the time and was thinking the 20/60 transducer on the 565 would work great at these shallower depths. Anyone tried it? Also they make a 565 portable with a suction cup transducer. I have several boats that I fish out and is this a good way to go?
I use a 565, and I like it ok. Sometimes wish you could switch from 20* cone to 60* cone, but you can't with the 565. It's a great unit for the price!
cant beat it for the money real good unit
I have a 565 and think its great. Have never really had anything much bigger or better to compare it with, so my experience about it might be limited. I do however like it because it is easy to use and shows some really good details. Caught it on sale at bps for around $170
On their website it has the 565 as a dual beams unit having 60 and 20 degrees cones. Is this a new feature? Can you not switch from one to another?Quote:

It has a split screen option that will show 60 on 3/4 of the screen and 20 on the other 1/4.
Here is a picture of the one I put on my boat
i just purchaced a 575 hummingbird and it's a 90 degree coverage 250 dollors hope it works well suppose to show double your depth and you can split the screen or just one big screen
fellows my daughter just showed me how to resize the pictures so no i can post some this was one that i had of the new 565 thought it looked good enough to put on here.
I have the 565 and been uing it for a year now and really like it. most of the water I fish is less than 30 foot deep. I don't know any thing about the portable ones but they should be just as good.
