Boat Fit out for Bay Fishing

[Bert007]

8-)Gidday,
I have recently bought a restored Swiftcraft Seagull, with Penta Sterndrive..After some replacement of engine electrics and tune, she is running sweet. It has an old CB radio and a fairly old (97) Apelco Fish Finder Sounder. I will need to buy an epirb and I am looking at upgrading to GPS and marine radio etc. What would you suggest ( be nice) for electronics when considering coastal fishing/ family boating. Cheers, Bert

By the way would any one have a manual on this Apelco Fish finder Model 365, or know where I could find one ??
Cheers, bert.

Bert raymarine have discontinued model manuals available.

I also have one of them old apelco's sitting in the cupboard , arn't they the shiznit ;D.

Anyways i have a 360 model and i dont know or cant see a 365 model on there site. Are you sure it isn't a 360? Anyways here's the link as the 360 should be pretty much the same.

You can download the whole manual for free but you will need to have adobe acrobat on your comp to open it.

Hope it helps

Darryl

Thanks Daryl,
I have downloaded the manual , mine is a 360 and it was listed there. Only 39 pages should be a walk in the park !! DOH ??? I went out Bribie Passage today couldnt really get it to do much, the speed was out by heaps. Caught only one fish, some weird thing with a big spike on its head, silver grey/ green. Oh weel theres always next week. Cheers, Bert

Whoops, I said it was a 360 but it has 365 on it . It has speed, depth and fish finder with some wierd simulator program as well. Cheers, bert
