Know before you buy
No, the transducer is not included with the unit. You will need to purchase a compatible 600W or 1kW transducer separately based on your specific vessel and fishing requirements.
Yes. The GP1670F features a bonded LCD screen, which eliminates the internal fogging often found in standard displays and ensures excellent visibility and clarity even when wearing polarized lenses.
The internal GPS antenna is built directly into the unit, which simplifies installation by removing the need for external wiring or mounting. However, if your mounting location is inside a metal cabin, you may still need an external antenna for optimal signal reception.

Accu-Fish analyzes the echo returns from individual fish to estimate their size. It displays this information directly on the screen, helping you quickly determine if a target is worth dropping a line for.
Yes, the RotoKey interface is designed for intuitive, one-handed operation. By rotating and pressing the knob, you can quickly access menus and zoom in or out on your charts without needing to navigate through complex touch-screen submenus.
