Sonar

The transducer of the Mark 4 fish finder features dual beam sonar. It supports two different frequencies that you can choose according to your situation. The 83 kHz frequency has a broader cone angle with more coverage of the underwater, so it is better at detecting fish. The second is 200 kHz frequency, which you can use for detecting bottom structure in shallow waters. For the price of this fish finder, the sonar is really great. It allows you to understand what is going on underwater and allows you to detect any fish that might be around.

Being a dual beam unit makes this fish finder suitable for different fishing conditions both in deep and shallow waters.

Chartplotting

This device has a built-in GPS antenna, so along with fish finding you get chartplotting features. Mark 4 comes preloaded with Navionics Gold cartography. It’s also compatible with Navionics Premium and Fishing Hotspots Pro. The device features a micro SD card slot, through which you can upgrade to the new cartography options.

The GPS is very accurate in giving information on current positioning of the boat. It also allows marking useful spots, so you can go back to them as many times as you want.
