Garmin Fishfinder 140 Without All The Bells And Whistles
By Rodger G Allenby
There are a lot of fish finders on the market these days. You
have the ultra expensive versions that can do everything except
cast the line out for you, down to the bare bones fish finders
that essentially just pin point the fish beneath your boat and
let you know the terrain.
All have their perks and all have their drawbacks. For most it
boils down to price and how complicated the fish finder is to
use. The Garmin Fishfinder 140 is one of the more basic models
but it should not be discounted simply because it does not have
all the bells and whistles that others have.
Depth And Temperature Of The Water
Chances are pretty good that you have heard the Garmin name.
They are one of the leaders in GPS technology. So going over to
fish finders is not a great leap. The Garmin Fishfinder 140 is
one of the most basic models Garmin produces but it still does
have a lot to offer.
With the ability to narrow or widen the field of coverage for
the bottom terrain and preset alarms for certain fish sizes, it
does make it a good fish finder. You can also see the depth of
the water and the temperature.
A Black And White Display
The downside of the Garmin 140 would have to be its display.
It is the old fashioned black and white display that your parent’s
used on their boat. And it does not give you the ability to GPS
your position so you can come back to the same place.
It also does not come with pre-loaded maps of different rivers
or lakes that may be in your area. But that is okay considering
the price. The 140 is relatively cheap and you can easily find
it for around $100 if you look on the www.target.com
or www.amazon.com
websites.
The one thing that really is a problem is the mounting hardware
and the screen cover. Even though the Garmin Fishfinder 140 is
relatively cheap, it should come with these two pieces of hardware.
Paying For Extras
If you want to mount the 140 to your boat, then you are going
to have to pay extra for the mounting kit. And in order to protect
the screen from the sun or rain, you will have to buy the cover
as well. It is the little costs that can add up.
So you essentially buy the 140 for $100 but you wind up paying
over $150 in total to get the extras. It still is cheaper than
most but it should definitely come with these already packaged
with the fish finder.

Little Known Facts About Fish Finders ....
When you are browsing through the internet looking for fish finders
for your hobby, do you stop and pay attention to the fish finder
product reviews? Or do you simply go to a website and go by price?
If you simply rely on the manufacturers description and ad, you
are setting yourself up for failure. What if a piece of equipment
necessary to the fish finder working is not included but the description
does not tell you that. That is where product reviews from people
who have purchased the fish finder come in so handy.
