I'm looking for a new depth finder for my boat, primarily will be used in saltwater with depths down to 300 or so feet. I've zeroed in on two units in my price range. I'm wondering if any of you own either and what your expeience has been. The first is a Garmin 160 Red unit, priced at $240. The other is an Eagle Accura 240 priced at $310. The Eagle has a better screen and more features, but the Garmin has the features I need also. One thing I'm not clear about: The Garmin says it is rated at 400 watts, 3200 peak to peak, while the Eagle says it is 75 watts RMS, 600 peak to peak. Yet both have similar depth ratings (Eagle 600 or so, Garmin 900 or so) - so what's with the big watt diference? Your comments are appreciated!
