In Response To: Re: need easy to use gps (John Cranston)

The sounder module for the Garmin 2010C (and the other 20 and 30 series Garmins) is the GSD-20. The place I do business with is Sea Trac Offshore in New Orleans, 800 899 0591, or local is 504 737 0591. The sales manager is Bobby Perez, and tell him Uncle Vic sent you. They will beat any nationally advertised price, period. It is a locally owned family business in New Orleans, but has a world wide reputation. Service is what they are all about, and coupled with the "beat anyone's price" makes them the place to go. I was talking to the Garmin big-wig at the FLL show one time and mentioned that I do business with Sea Trac, and the guy nodded and said "the St. Romain family (the owners) are our best dealers in the world".

I get no kick back (should) but have done business with these people for 30 years and they are first class all the way.

The GSD 20 sounder module, for about $220 is a gem. Dual freq. (200/50) and strong, and of course totally interfaces with the 2010C plotter. I did the shoot-thru-the-hull mount (about $85 for the ducer hockey puck and cyl. mount) and it will track the bottom to 250' at 25 kts and about 400 going slow, and the detail is amazing. With a thru hull, it will do the same to about 1000', I'm told.
