ENTRY LEVEL GPS PLOTTERS & FISHFINDERS

Using a Garmin Chart Plotter is simple and intuitive - just turn it on and follow the menu. Everything is at your fingertips to quickly and easily plan your route and set your course, and most Garmin echoMAP™ and GPSMAP® chartplotters are available with built-in sonar capabilities. These include advanced HD-ID™ sonar, CHIRP sonar and Garmin DownVü™ and SideVü™ scanning sonar, which provide the clearest scanning sonar images on the water.

Garmin STRIKER™ Fishfinders include built-in GPS plus CHIRP sonar and CHIRP scanning sonar capability. Not only are they more successful at finding fish they also allow you to mark the best locations to return to later!

SOLAR PANELS - A BRIGHT IDEA

A solar panel can provide a near maintenance free solution to keeping batteries charged when unattended. An occasional wipe with a damp cloth is all that is necessary to ensure the panel continues to trickle energy into the battery. Keeping the battery topped up will improve its reliability and can extend its useful working life. Whilst solar panels give their maximum output in direct sunlight, even an overcast day can provide a useful level of charge.

The Nasa marine 12 volt, semi flexible solar panels are robustly constructed on a fibreglass substrate and are protected by a scratch-proof transparent Tedlar polymer. Only 3.5mm thick and lightweight, they have no metal outer components to make contact with the surface to which they are fitted and are tough enough to withstand being stepped on when wearing soft soled shoes.

From the smallest 23W model, ideal for keeping your battery charged, to the 72W panel, with enough power to supply the refrigerator on your caravan or boat, the Solbianflex ALLinONE range can be combined simply by connecting each of them directly to your battery, with each panel being completely independent from the others, thanks to the integrated charge controllers.

FOX'S FROSTBITE SERIES AT ALTON WATER - THE RESULTS
