Eagle fish finder (flasher)

[redbull660]

I bought an eagle flasher at an auction, Are they worth installing, I already have a lowrance fish finder. Can any one tell me about a flasher and how they work. thanks

I would not put it on my boat. Your lowrance likely has flasher mode but I see no advantage to a flasher over a LCD screen.

A flasher just shows the raw sonar returns as they happen, in real-time; a flash of light for every echo detected. Could be handy for monitoring depth as you drive, if your fishfinder isn't visible from the cockpit. You might experience interference between the two units, if they detect each other's pings.
