Marine Electronics by Lowrance
There’s nothing like spending the day on the water. You have always dreamed about having your own boat - and it has finally come true. Almost as exciting as finally acquiring that boat you’ve dreamed about for so long is equipping the vessel with the electronics you need to make your days out on the water as pleasurable and enjoying as possible. Lowrance Marine Electronics is a company that understands this and makes all the marine electronics you need.
The first electronic equipment you should obtain should be safety equipment. A VHF radio is something that will help put your mind at ease as you venture out, knowing you can radio for help if need be. Lowrance offers fixed mount radios like the LVR 880, which features Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and FM radio reception. If you’re in the market for a portable VHF radio, you have a choice between the LHR 80, the LHR 22, and the LHR 20. the LHR 80 is waterproof, floatable, and has a built in GPS receiver. The LHR 22 is also waterproof and has a Lithium-ion battery and a camo pattern body. The LHR 20 is like the LHR 22, minus the camo detail.
If you live outside North and South America, you can get the Lowrance GlobalMap 5150C full sized GPS chartplotter. It has a GPS+WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) antenna, and a five inch display that features 640 by 480 resolution. The GlobalMap 4800M, 5200C, and 5300IGPS all have both GPS and WAAS capabilities , and the latter two also have color monitors.
There are five full size Lowrance fish finders available. The X136DF is a dual frequency (50/200 kHz) sonar with depth penetration to 2500 feet. The X135 is a single frequency fish finder (200kHz) with a five inch square screen with monochrome 480 x 480 resolution. It is capable of reading up to 1000 feet deep. Lowrance’s X136DF is dual frequency sonar with high resolution monochrome display that reads up to 1700 feet of depth penetration. The X125 is a single frequency sonar with a five inch dispaly (monochrome), that reads up to 900 feet in depth . And the X96 is a 200kHz sonar with monochrome 320 x 320 resolution five inch screen and 1500 watts peak to peak power.
Lowrance offers a range of compact fish finders as well, with varying features including full color or monochrome display and options like hydrographic mapping.

You can also outfit your boat with a line of Lowrance digital gauges that will display fish finding information, temperature, depth, or multiple readings on one dial.
