The Garmin 86 series are the best marine chartplotters that Garmin makes. However, after using both for long periods of time I have concluded that having a touch screen is way nicer! When fishing inshore or offshore this is a powerful unit to have on the boat. Often times when fishing my hands are wet and slimy. I always wondered would I rater have buttons and a knob or a touch screen. The navigation charts are very detailed and are a must-have when navigating in shallow water areas. If an autopilot has been integrated taping the engage button will drive the boat straight to that location. With the touch screen, you can just tap the screen where you want to go on the map and hit goto. My favorite features of this device are the basic fish finder capabilities and easy to use navigation.

As a charter captain if I was buying a boat I would get a Garmin with a 12 plus inch display. The touchscreen series of Garmin fish finders are my favorite to use. There is an xs or standard version that is significantly cheaper that uses the traditional CHIRP and downVu sonar which is typically not included with the purchase. If you get the xsv versions the unit will work with Sidevu, Clearvu, mapping, and traditional sonar which are all typically included. The new versions have a higher screen resolution and processor that is almost twice as powerful. The GPSMAP 743, 943, or 1243 is the newer model of the GPSMAP 742, 942, or 1242 which were very popular models. On the back of the unit, there is a NMEA 2000 connection that allows this unit to work with autopilots. This unit is compatible with radar, weather, sonar, VHF, camera, wind sensor, and AIS. There is a large price difference based on screen size as the 7-inch retails for around $1,100 the 9-inch is around 1,400 and the 12-inch costs around $2,900. The Garmin GPSMAP comes with a 7-inch, 9-inch, or 12 touch screen display.

In many cases, fish finders cost thousands of dollars more just to get a larger display. Sonar is especially helpful when fishing for fish that stay near the bottom like, salmon, walleye, crappie, and rockfish. The sonar itself is helpful in locating, bait, structure temperature breaks, and fish.

In Alaska having a radar is basically required and having autopilot integrated makes trolling offshore possible without a deckhand. Having good electronics is really helpful when you are on a boat for 12+ hours a day. As a charter captain, I like to have the state of the art electronics. What is the best fish finder really depends on the type of fishing being done and the other technology like radar and autopilots that needs to be compatible with the unit. A lower frequency signal around 50 Khz signal has a more narrow beam and works well at finding fish and structure below 100-200 feet. Typically there was a high-frequency band around 200 kHz with a wide beam that was good at finding fish in less than 100-200 feet of water.

Relatively new CHIRP Technology allows for a range of frequencies to be swept simultaneously to allow for accurate feedback at both shallow and deep depths. The clarity of a sonar depends both on the power of the transducer and the frequency in which it is used. Almost all users want a quality navigation display and a detailed sonar display with their fish finder. When we say fish finder today we usually mean sonar, map navigation with depth contours, radar, side scan, 3D-images, and autopilot.
