DepthTrax 2B Boat Mount In Dash Digital Depth Finder

Great customer service from company. Unit is accurate and works well.

Installed in a 2011 Tahoe Qi5. Mostly works as it should, sometimes an erratic depth reading at speed but quickly returns to good readings. Overall, easy to install and good product.

I gave 5 stars for everything because this purchase turned out exactly as I wanted with no frustration, no problems getting it to work, no problems with installation. I was worried about installation because I'm not comfortable putting a hole through my hull or even screwing on a support bracket....what do I know about the watertight integrity of a boat and how stupid would I feel if I caused a leak??? So I followed the glue-in instructions, which included multiple step-by-step methods to test it first. No problems! Maybe the other installations would be more accurate with the sensor in the water instead of in the boat (not that I have evidence of that; on the contrary, it has been accurate in tests I've done), but I was very happy to have the much lower stress of not drilling or cutting the hull. The other part of the installation (besides the sensor) was the electronics. There is a separate guide for that, which I think is equally well done, so that it turned out pretty easy. Note: the documentation is online instead of being printed and included in the box, so that means it's up-to-date, has links to other sources and can be reviewed ahead of buying the product. As far as use, it's pretty straightforward: it displays the depth and has just four features you can set: feet vs. meters, offset so you can account for how deep the sensor is installed below the water line, sepatate alarms for shallow and deep water (where you set the distances that define when those alarms sound). When you enable the alarms, they are loud and persistent, but that's good/that's what you want an alarm to be! Of course I can only hope it will continue to operate well for a long time, but soundness of documentation/packaging/operation so far make me think it is a quality product and should be trusted for the long term.

Used in houseboat to check for water depths while travelling.Just what I needed not fitted yet but will be soon.

Nice depth finder. Unit works great mounted outside of the boat. I mounted it in the bilge and it was intermittent. Would purchase it again but with a thru hull
