- Wireless sonar streaming is specified up to 200', which may be limiting on larger water or from longer casting distances.
- Battery life is listed as 10+ hours, so extended outings may require planning around recharge time.
- The unit is castable and lightweight, but it still depends on using 20-lb. test weight line for deployment.
