We just put a Dragonfly 7 Pro on my cousins boat and took it out Saturday for the first time to try it.
Initial impressions are good. We had to play around with the settings to make it look like my Lowrance that I am used to [
] but once we got the display adjusted it worked great.
We had two issues:
1. The temperature is not working.
2. It take a long time to boot up. And we had it hooked into the ignition where it reboots each time the boat is started, which we did not like. Also, every now and then the sonar screen would divide into 4 vertical unreadable zones and then after a few minutes would just start magically working again normally.
We are going to do the software update (recommended in the install instructions) before we call RayMarine to see what's up with that. Hopefully the software update fixes it.
GPS, fishfinder, etc. It's all pretty easy to use and does work well.Speeds over 35 we couldn't hold bottom, but that normal from what I understand.

I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
