Amazon.com Product Description

The Humminbird 383c Combo Fish Finder and GPS Chartplotter is an all-in-one fish finder for the recreational angler that offers incredible ease of use and GPS chartplotting. The 383c Combo is compact, but full of already built-in capabilities, with the ability to add advanced accessories, making it the perfect companion for your fishing outings.

The 383c Combo provides full GPS navigation, chartplotting and sonar right out of the box. This unit has a built-in 16-channel WAAS GPS receiver, and a four nautical-mile resolution UniMap of USA inland lakes, rivers and coastal areas. The 383c Combo uses DualBeam PLUS sonar, selectable between 20- and 60-degree beams, or simultaneous operation to deliver both wide coverage and better bottom definition up to 1,000 feet with a target separation of only 2.5 inches. This fish finder includes real-time sonar at up to 40 times per second, and Sonar Echo Enhancement sensitive enough to track a jig to over 40 feet. This unit's high-speed, micro-dynamic transducer is reliable up to 70 mph, and even includes water temperature and GPS speed.

The 383c Combo has a 3.5-inch, 256-color, sunlight viewable TFT LCD screen that sports 320 x 240 lines of resolution, and includes X-Press menus so you can access the most important controls with fewer button presses. This fish finder lets you select between TruArch for actual fish returns, and FishID+ with a selective target depth. This unit features a 2x, 4x, 6x and 8x zoom, fresh and saltwater set-up options for optimal performance in any environment, and an adjustable backlight for night fishing. With 750 waypoints, 20 routes, and 10 tracks with 2,000 points each, it is difficult to find a more complete system.

The 383c Combo comes as a Transom Mount with a tilt-and-swivel, quick-disconnect mount system, for either Gimbal or in-dash mounting. This unit measures 5.25 x 7.4 x 4 inches (WxHxD) as a Gimbal mount, or when in-dash mounted requires three inches of behind-dash clearance. Built with a fully gasketed and waterproof construction so that it will even float if something unforeseen happens, the Humminbird 383c Combo fish finder and GPS chartplotter is backed by a manufacturer's one-year warranty.

Humminbird 383c Combo Fish Finder and GPS Chartplotter
I needed at least a depth finder for my new boat and after research determined it was just as much effort to install a simple unit as this model with a transom mount tranciever. While I am most often in familiar lakes, I wanted something that would also be good for larger lakes I wanted to explore and didnt know where shallow hazards were. The GPS is nice particularly when wandering about some complex multi-area lakes and figuring out how to get back to the launch. Very easy to use and accurate for finding fish, bottom contour and water temperature. Its also nice to have your speed indicator since the boat's speedo doesnt work under 10 MPH. I was a little concerned about the screen size but found it works perfectly well for my needs and surprized how well the color works. Overall I would highly recommend this to anyone with similar needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fish Finder Combo!, April 1, 2008

By	K. Howard - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent product that exudes excellence at all times. The display is very easy to read and see. The sonar view is very informative and the combination of the dual beams into one view provides very detailed information that can really help you improve your fish catching abilities at all levels. The real time sonar feed combined with the sonar views is also very helpful when dropping jigs on slabs. The GPS feature is also excellent. Its very easy to operate and the basic features are easy to use and operate. The automatic tracking of your course and travel is also very nice so that you can review your fishing adventure and determine ways to improve your adventure to increase the adventureness level.

Installation and mounting was a bit tricky, but thats the case for any transducer transom mount. It just takes a bit of reading and not rushing into anything. I found it to be pretty easy overall, minus the leaks I accidently created with the saw. But thats a different issue really.

I would definately recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good GPS/Fishfinder combo. The menu's are easy to read and use and there is a wealth of features that are really impressive considering the price of this unit.
