Me think that would be a little overkill

I have a Garmin 8412 in my alloy 4.5. Not overkill in any size boat. Personally I would go 8412 with GT56 over anything else. Garmin lead the game with this set up.

Having recently been using a 12 inch Garmin on a boat up here I know I will be getting as big a screen as I can fit on my next boat ,the definition is way better the bigger you go from what I’ve seen . Matt

one of our 18.5" screens up front connected to a garmin 8410 on the helm

Moose, is that boat setup for freshwater fishing with the unit exposed up on the front casting deck like that....?

For sure! The 8 series is full high definition too. Even the new Bird Axioms still haven't got the definition of the 8 series. Up until the 8 series and new GT56 transducer I would have braved Bird Solix ownership but not now.

What is the screen Moose? How bright in full sun? Pixel count etc? Cheers

What’s also pushing people to garmin is the live scope
It’s an amazing piece of kit but not a small investment in not only money but space battery and complexity of cables and mounts on the boat

I like the way Garmin support and update product ability with software updates too. Great company to deal with. I have made a Livescope pole and Ram fitting and some cable management and it is easy to use and manage. Cheers

Apart from nap updates which I havent worked out yet the active captain app works well

I can update between two generations of units easily marks waypoints etc
