Review on Faria Marine Instruments 13852 Chesapeake by Black Holstead

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very happy with it - love the functionality but could use better instructions.

Great - works - love the alert settings. However, the LCD can be a bit difficult to read with polarized sunglasses - be aware that you may need to tilt your head back or forward or raise your glasses in bright light - lens polarization can cause the screen to show large black dots . Installation was easy enough, although the instructions aren't very clear as to which wires (shield and ground) should be connected together at each connector. Once I figured that out, installation was pretty easy. As a "new" boat owner, it took me longer to figure out how to set up a sonar than it did to route the cables and install the transducer in the console. Then the fun with the wiring began :).

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Compatibility
