Garmin 300c Fishfinder
The Garmin Fishfinder 300c is a state of the art sonar that is perfect for any freshwater recreational fishing enthusiast.
Fishfinder 300c has a 3.5" QVGA full color display that is backlit for easier readability. For an affordable unit, this has one of the sharpest screens in it's class. Another feature that sets this model apart from it's competitors is the Ultrascroll technology which allows you to see your fish targets while you are cruising across the water, even at higher speeds. The Garmin 300c Dual-Beam Transducer is exactly what the name implies - dual beam, which means the fish don't have to be directly under the boat for you to see them. The cone angle can be set to either 15 or 45 degrees. With the maximum depth at 900 feet, I say "fish on!" Other features include:
- 4.5" x 4.5" x 2.4"
- 240 x 320 pixels
- Waterproof
- Split-screen zoom
- Ultrascroll (displays fish targets at highr boat speeds)
- Fish Symbol ID (helps identify fish targets)
- AutoGain Technology (minimzed clutter, maximizes targets)
- Whiteline (indicates hard or soft bottom)
- Adjustable depth line (measures depth of underwater objects)
- A-scope (real time display of fish passing through transducer beam)
- Bottom lock (shows return from the bottom up)
- Water temprature log and graph (sensor included)
- water speed capable (displays speed on water)
Here are some product reviews from a few of our visitors:
- The Garmin 300c I purchased was chosen to use when I am in my kayak. It is small and doesn't take up a lot of room. Don't let the small comment stop you from buying this though. It accurately tells me how deep the fish are making it easy to hook my victims. Another excellent feature is this unit has been submerged by me and my antics on several occassions and it has never given me a blink of trouble. I rate this model 5 stars.
- I was hesitant to buy this model because it only has a 3.5" screen but the price was within my budget and Garmin came highly recomended. After purchasing this and using it a few times I am very, very satisfied. I can see the bright screen even in direct sunlight. Every function works exactly as it should. I do not have any bugs or complaints. I accidentaly left it on one night and my battery on my boat wasn't dead in the morning. Woohoo! I intend to buy this same unit for my other fishing boat this spring.
- I found an even better use for the Garmin Fishfinder. I set the alarm to go off at ten feet so I don't run my boat aground and bust another prop. This thing has saved my bacon a few times. Well worth the price.
- My Garmin 300c I bought from Amazon for the best prices anywhere.

Pros: It is waterproof, easy to use and I can see the contours of the lake bottom clearly.
Cons: I had to purchase a protetive cover separately and I also had to purchase the Garmin Speed Sensor. If I had known this I would have bought all together and not had to pay extra shipping.
