Easy installation and very accurate.

very much. Very easy installation and worked great once installed which was very easy and straightforward. We especially like the water temperature function! I read some bad reviews but decided to take a chance. After a month of use (about 5 times on the water) ZERO complaints. I hooked it up to a switch on the dash so if we "parked" in shallow water we could still hear the stereo without the alarm going off. Also, I didn't want to drill a hole in my dash since the stock depth sounder was aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available. I like

Heard good reviews about this sonar and decided to donate.

Heard good things about this fish finder and decided to give it a try. Once the sensor was set up (perfectly), it worked fine, but would go off intermittently and come back on a minute or ten minutes later. Despite the disappointment and unreliability, I continued to use it (I liked it when the air and water temperatures worked consistently). However, I'm now writing a review because last week it just stopped working, no readings - I've owned it less than a year and used the boat less than 10โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • High price

Bad product, nonexistent customer service

Do not buy! I had a D10D that stopped working this season (worked fine for a few years). Bought this version. It measures no more than 4-6 feet deep while docked. Shows some vital signs at moderate speeds but is useless (no reading or extremely inaccurate reading at speeds above 15-20 mph). Customer service doesn't seem to be there. I've called their tech support multiple times. I was redirected to voice email every time They try to answer all calls within an hour. Left two messages, oneโ€ฆ

No instructions just small parts pouch, depth gauge and transducer

I have just started installing this unit and am very frustrated at the total lack of instructions! I installed the converter after figuring all the parts were together, haven't routed the wires yet. I have a small bag full of small parts and I have no idea how to use them. There were no screws to attach the sensor to the boat so I had to drive 10 miles to the nearest ACE unit. I hope the device is much better than your instructions. I'm wondering if I received a bad block that was returnedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

DOA but replacement works fine

My first unit was DOA which I only found out about after spending almost a day installing it on my boat. I should have tested it before installing it. They say 20-20 in hindsight. I have contacted Norcross customer service. After exchanging a few emails, I disassembled the whole thing (display device and converter) and sent it back (at my own expense). Her turn was quick. I received a replacement within 10 days. This time I tested the replacement in my pool before installing it on my boat. Itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things

You get what you pay for

This is a good fish finder but not a great fish finder. This is the middle of the street. The components/casing are fairly cheap and very simple. I feel like I'm playing with it too much, I might break something. It works - not really, but it works. It claims to provide readings at speeds much higher than it is capable of. I'm losing stable readings above 30 mph. It usually shows "---" starting at 30 and sometimes reads. Not a big problem as my draw is pretty flat over 30mph but annoyingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
