Default Humminbird 575 sonar

I'm needing to update my sonar and have been looking through all the BS made available by the factory and the sellers. Now I want some first hand experiences. Does anyone here own one and are you willing to give me the pros and cons. I fish mainly shallow water and the 90 degree look might have some advantages. Thanks in advance to any and all.

It does decent but with the Quadraangle transducer you won't get much side coverage in shallow water. Can't say i would buy another whne a 565 would do just as well on my home lake. Now a true sidescan........................



I also have trouble with TM feedback. I am using mine on the TM.

3'S, thanks for the feedback. It looks like the 575 isn't that popular a model. I'll give your recommendation some serious thought.
