Geoff Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 My boat MUST go in the water this spring so I am thinking about buying a Raymarine Element 7S GPS chartplotter fishfinder. Any comments would be welcome please, other than of course that it will not work too well on the trailer! Geoff.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 In my notifications it shows that I have a reply from JonC, but nothing shows up on here. Puzzled. Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I was in the bath and replied with wet hands accidentally. I’ve also ordered a skip and deleted most of my contacts. Saintly Fish and jonnyswamp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 @Geoff look at what garmin unit you want and I'll get you a terrific discount. Just ask @JonC and @daio web!! Will be a hell of a lot cheaper than a raymarine. daio web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 One big downside with this guy was the installation team wasn’t overly responsive, to the point where I ended up fitting it myself.

I know what you mean Jon, I suspect it will be the same for me (I think that he may be related to that power handle guy over in Norfolk, or some such prehistoric area). Still, looking on the bright side I will have a good excuse for further delaying the launch! Geoff.

I know right, what is it with these trade people, I've been waiting over a year for some laminator guy to give me some prices on resin, mat and nidaplast so I can get on with mine.....

The Nidaplast you wanted is all wrapped and still awaiting your collection, but I guess that is all in vain. Geoff.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reads to me as though these do a basic GPS function of track plotting but no maps. I may have that wrong but worth checking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 Today could be my birthday (it isn't).

Far better system now and excellent value (thanks Neil), but I have strayed a bit from the post title and spent more than twice the original budget that "J" agreed. No doubt I shall be reminded about that every time that she wants something! Geoff. suzook12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
