 Wrong readings July 7, 2010

i bought this 718 last month. Only problem is when I'm in four feet of water it reads from 2.9 to 6.1 even when the boat is not moving. It never stays still. I talked with a Humminbird tech and he decided I had a bad transducer. He sent me out a new one (great service) and said to just keep the old one. Great! Only problem was it didn't solve the problem. Talked with Amazon and they sent me a replacement unit. Same problem. I don't know what to try next because I really like Humminbird but until I can resolve the issue, I can't recommend this unit.
 Nice Fish Finder for the Price. January 27, 2010

The Humminbird 718 is an excellent choice for the angler or recreational boater looking for an affordable Fishfinder. It doesn't have a flashy color display, but I don't see the advantage of a color display for a basic Fishfinder. The simple black and white display affords a nice crisp contrast which is easy to see in bright sunlight.
You will have to take the time to carefully read the manual if this is your first time using a fish finder. The display can be very complex and confusing if you don't read the manual. The 718 is easy to customize to your own preferences. For example, I set the display to show a solid black sea bottom vs. the default setting that allows the unit to display different shades of grey according to the density of the bottom. I also customized the display to show little fish icons for fish instead of the default setting which is an arch representing the reflection of the sound. I like simple and easy to read! I don't think I would like it as much if I couldn't customize the readout.
The 718 can also be paired with a GPS antennae, but don't expect the 718 to become a chartplotter with the addition of GPS. With the addition of GPS the 718 does not have the capability to store or display charts or maps so your route is displayed as a black line on a grid with no visible shoreline. I find the GPS very useful for saving waypoints, routes, and displaying the speed and location of the boat.
I give the Humminbird 718 5 stars for being affordable and easy to use. I recommend adding the GPS receiver.
