Yes - from the web page you supplied, it was indeed the echo pilot unit. I simply loved it! Would like a little more experience with it before buying one of my own. Does anyone have comparitive info on the EchoPilot Vs the Interphase?

>Well - I tend to take the view that the forward looking feature is pretty much a major advancement over our normal sounders. I also REALLY like the application for letting me squeeze thru tough entrances - which the sounder just don't do at all. The issue of semi-submerged containers does not seem to me to really be an issue - lets see - containers are 12 feet or so minimum in an dimension - when containers are really going to be an issue, I would be most probably in deeper water, thus getting pretty goog forward range - specified as AT THE SURFACE - but the container is 12 feet down - seems to me I would see it pretty good! I am thinking logs and other shallow draft debris might be a challenge, but generally, these units seem very capable.
>I did notice in scanning the links supplied that the interphase display is not as user friendly as the unit I had on the TMM charter. Problem is, I don?t recall the vendor for that one!
