700 Series™ Fishing System Accessories

Accessories customize the 700 Series™ Fishing System to your needs and enable you to stay on the edge of new technology. When an accessory is connected to the 700 Series™ Fishing System, additional menus and readouts are added automatically to the Main Menu System. Accessories available today that are supported by your Fishing System include:

WideSide® transducer: purchase and connect the WideSide® transducer to your 700 Series™ Fishing System to access specialized "side looking" functions that are extremely useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open water.

QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer: purchase and connect the QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer to your 700 Series™ Fishing System to access specialized QuadraBeam PLUS™ functions such as fan-shaped 35° 455 kHz Side Structure locating sonar beams to spot fish, bait and structure to the left and right of the boat over an area of the bottom that’s always equal to twice your depth, for a continuous 90° of uninterrupted side to side coverage to 160 feet.

Temperature/Speed: purchase and plug in the Temperature/Speed accessory to your 700 Series™ control head to get real time speed and temperature readouts, as well as a valuable Triplog function.

NOTE: If an external Temperature/Speed (TS-W) or Temperature (TG-W) accessory is connected AND a transducer with temperature built in is connected at the same time, the TS-W or TG-W accessory will override the temperature which is built in to the transducer.

WeatherSense® Fishing Condition Monitor: purchase and plug in the WeatherSense® accessory to your 700 Series™ Fishing System to obtain barometric pressure readouts and trend data in real time.

GR4 GPS Receivers: purchase and connect the GR4 GPS Receiver to your 700 Series™ Fishing System to access advanced FishingGPS™, trackplotter and navigation capabilities built-in to your Fishing System.

GPS Connection Cable: purchase the GPS Connection Cable in order to connect a handheld or other NMEA* GPS-compatible device that you may already own to your 700 Series™ Fishing System.
