GPS/Depth Finder - 2016 Yamaha SX190

[Vandkyle]

I just bought a '16 SX190 this past fall and will be running it in shallower water a majority of the time. I think having a basic GPS/depth finder, on board, would be beneficial. I'm not looking for an eye sore, or anything that is huge and will stick out. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Just be aware that although the draft is technically about 16-18" on your boat, the jetpump intake on the bottom of the hull is like a vacuum cleaner and can easily suck up loose debris settled on the floor like twigs, weeds, small rocks, and sand. Most jetboat users would consider the actual safe boating depth to be double the draft or 30-36" to prevent jetpump damage.

As for the GPS unit, you've narrowed it down to about 100+ models. I suggest you focus on the area where it'll be mounted and come up with size and mount restrictions, then read up on similarly sized units.
