Upgrade to a Garmin 953XSV chartplotter / fishfinder on a Surtees 5.5 Workmate.

We recently took a trip to Opotiki to upgrade a Garmin Striker 7 on a Surtees 5.5 Workmate to the new Garmin GPSMAP 953XSV. Let's delve into the advantages of this new GPS system.

Enhanced Transducer Capability

One of the key advantages of the Garmin GPSMAP 953XSV is its ability to support future transducer upgrades up to 1KW single channel CHIRP. This ensures that your fishing experience remains cutting-edge and adaptable to changing technology.

Advanced Charting Features

In addition to its transducer capabilities, the GPSMAP 953XSV comes equipped with charts and the option to add Navionics Vision chart for relief shading imagery. These advanced charting features provide you with detailed insights into the underwater terrain, enhancing your fishing experience.

Overall, the Garmin GPSMAP 953XSV offers a range of benefits for fishing enthusiasts looking to enhance their navigation and fishing experience. Its advanced features, including transducer upgradability, advanced charting, and helm control via the Active Captain App, make it a valuable addition to any fishing setup.
