    Default Depth Finder

    I've got an 05 Outback and I want to add a depth finder to it. I was wondering what kind of depth finder normally comes with them from the factory and where are they normally mounted at?

    pickle, i added a hummingbird.

    however i didn't like where they put them on from the factory on the side. i was able to drill into the dash and hook it in there and then wired it into the extra acc switch.

    cost $100.00

    I ordered the factory gauge. The location is dismal and I swapped it with my fuel gauge. Now the location is better, but I do not really use it too much. It does add a level of comfort knowing the depth when in unfamiliar waters where the depth is getting shallow.

    I looked at the factory depth finder, and it does not say what brand it is. I have an extra factory, (never used) white, in dash, depth finder that i would be willing to sell 4 cheap. I do not have the transducer though. I'm sure you could buy one separately. Just an option if you want to keep it factory. [email protected] if interested.

    I'm not sure what brand my depth finder is - it came from the factory all set up. But I can tell you that I love it. It works great and I have NO problem with the location. It is easy to see and read and does not interfere with any of the other guages. See attached picture-the depth finder is just above my son's hand -on the side of the boat.

    Thats a sweet set-up. And, you gotta train drivers if you want to keep skiing.

    For our outback, we opted for a full lcd screen humminbird, mounted on the dashboard behind the spotter's seat. It shows the bottom profile. Sensor is glued to the single-wall section of hull on the inside of the boat near where the prop shaft passes through the floor

    Its unbeatable. Saved our prop many times.

    sweet, thanks for all the info.
    Convo, that's exactly how I'll be mounting mine. I ended up ordering the Hawk Eye. Hopefully it will be here by tuesday so I can install it before the weekend.
