I have both the 480 Fishmark and the 480 Fishelite. They came on the boat when I bought it this fall and both just confuse me for now.

this will allow you to play with your eagle on your computer at home...the biggest mistake I see when people are learning these is too much sensitivity. I normally run mine between 65 and 75 most of the time...this keeps alot of the clutter out of your way...you really do not need alot of power in 20ft of water....just my two cents.
Someone on here..I don't remember who, made an awsome point on setting sensitivity. Take a jig, weight, worm....whatever your fishing with..put it down into the cone of the graph...ie...right under the trolling motor about 8 feet below the transduce....don't get in the blades..lol...then start adjusting the sensitivity...you just barely want to be able to see the bait...pull it up and down and you'll see it on your graph...its quick, easy, and effective. Once you get that set you'll be alot closer to being able to see things. I start with surface clarity on low and noise reject off also. Sorry didn't mean to get all in your thread...lol. :)
I have got a 480 at the console, and a 320 up on the trolling motor. Love em both.
Bought an Eagle 480 when my Lowrance x-75 gave up the ghost. BIG improvement in resolution and power. Best bargain out there.
Ya'll keep on and I am gonna to have to buy me one.
I've had three 320's and love all of them! I'm sending the one I have now back to eagle because of a screen problem...they are GREAT to speak with...VERY polite and helpful customer service. I think I'll be getting a 480 now...wish the 480 was color but the eagle color sonar only is 320X240 I think...unless they have a new one out. :( For the money I don't think you can go wrong with the eagle.
I have a 480 and love it, but the lens over the display has developed some hair line cracks. I called customer service about repair and they said they could but it would cost $112. Kinda undecided on the repair when I can add a little to it and get a new one. Other than that the unit works perfectly
