Jim...
What about the narrow viewable area? Isn't that a problem, especially in
shallower water?

There's always something better, and you can always find shortcomings
in what you have...... however, I remember fishing before we had
depthfinders, let alone fishfinders. I'm damn glad for the
improvements in the last 40 years and don't consider it "a problem"..

The fishing buddy has helped me locate fish, and I've caught some fish
that I wouldn't have even pursued if the finder hadn't located them
first. I've got no complaints.
