Digital camera reviews of Humminbird SmartCast RF15 3.9-Inch Waterproof Fishfinder

Digital camera Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars

I ordered this item for fishing off the docks and salmon fishing in the Pacific Northwest. It looks like a good idea, but haven't had a chance to try it out since the unit doesn't seem to function properly. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it connects to the bobber and gives a constant reading of "0 feet" in 20+ feet of water. I've contacted Humminbird about a warranty replacement, but haven't heard back from them just yet.

Also, I don't have a boat, but for those of you who do, you might want to spring the extra $50 for the Pirahna unit. It allows for the use of a wired sonar unit. Don't be fooled. The RF15 has a connection for it, but will not work with one (something else I was disappointed to learn... why have a connector if it doesn't work... the wired sonar costs $50 anyway... Humminbird should fire their marketing team).

*EDIT*
Day three and still no response from Humminbird. I've emailed their service department twice.

Summary of Humminbird SmartCast RF15 3.9-Inch Waterproof Fishfinder

Fishfinder, RF15, Smartcast Series
The Humminbird Smartcast RF15 is a fishfinder designed for the recreational angler ready for a step up from traditional fishing and offers an unmatched level of convenience. This fishfinder may be small, but it has plenty of built-in capabilities, and can provide you with the ultimate in portable sonar in a simple, rugged package.

The Smartcast RF15 utilizes a traditional, single-beam 90-degree sonar to deliver ultra-wide coverage equal to twice the water depth up to 100 feet deep. Vital information is displayed on a big, 3.875-inch display with 160x132 lines of resolution, in a true four-level grayscale that delivers clearly better images of the bottom, fish and structure. The large, easy-to-see digital readout includes a backlight for night fishing, and is powered by eight AA (not included) batteries. This system is designed to be waterproof, and has a 100-foot operating range allowing you to easily travel around without losing your signal.

The Smartcast RF15 comes with a waterproof, programmable Advanced RSS (remote sonar system) for either Channel A or B operation mode, as well as a rugged carrying case with a non-skid bottom and RSS storage. The new illuminated, advanced RSS includes water surface temperature, typically lasts for 500 hours of in-the-water usage, and allows you to purchase replacements that are available on the manufacturer's web site, as well as at your local tackle dealer and major outdoor retailers. The Smartcast RF15 features one-touch menu navigation that allows you to easily control FishID+, depth range, fish alarm, and sensitivity, as well as Wet Switch technology that maximizes battery life by automatically shutting down when the Advanced RSS is out of the water. For those who like to travel light and go fishing anywhere and everywhere, this system is the perfect companion.

What's in the Box
RF15 control head, advanced remote sonar sensor, portable carry case, and operation manual.
