sounder advice for a dinghy
I would love some advice on sounder for a 3.8m ali dinghy. I fish around the three mile around Hillarys to Ocean Reef (not very successfully)
I have a pirhana max hummingbird (entry level b and w sounder) but have had trouble with the transducer.
Should I go for a colour sounder or a high detail black and white? budget prefer $300 maybe up to $400. Saw a good deals on garmins, $220 for the 160C which i think is really just a coloured basic sounder, but the 400C for $350 ish looks a good buy?
any tips on what to look for and what to not waste money. eg dual beam etc . I would not be much deeper than 40 meters I would think ever, usually closer to 20m.
thanks!

sounder
I recently picked up a navman fish 4500 of a fellow fish wrecked member for 300$ its a few years old now but retailed for over 1000$ new. Having priblems myself with interferance while moving maybe the transducer isnt positioned properly on the 3.8 stessco? But its a nice unit i could recomend. Also i launch from mindarie or hillaries so if your ever keen to team up im always keen to head out with another boat to cover more ground
Cheers matt
