The Garmin Fishfinder 160C is an affordable color sonar option for recreational fishermen who primarily fish freshwater lakes. Fish returns and bottom information are clearly shown on the unit's bright, sunlight-readable color display, making it easier for you to scope out your fishing grounds. The Fishfinder 160C offers dual-beam transducer operation for improved shallow water performance. Like all Garmin fishfinders, the 160C is rugged, waterproof, and able to stand up to the elements.
The Fishfinder 160C also offers Ultrascroll which allows boaters to get a much faster refresh rate on their sonar display. AutoGain, as well as user adjustable gain, is also standard on all of Garmin's new fishfinders.
