Lowrance's new
Mark series of single- and dual-frequency fishfinders brings the brand's
legendary sonar performance within reach of everyone from kayak enthusiasts to
trailerboat anglers.
The Mark-5x and
Mark-5x Pro feature a 12.7cm (5") bright-white, 480x480-pixel, SuperTwist™ LED
display for easy viewing in all lighting conditions, plus 16-level gray scale
definition that delivers maximum target detail and separation.
While both units
boast the Lowrance standard for sonar performance, clarity and target
definition, the Mark-5x Pro provides the additional benefit of dual-frequency
operation for greater coverage in a variety of fishing and boating conditions.
With dual-frequency capability – 200kHz and 83kHz – the Mark-5x Pro provides up
to 120° of sonar coverage, while reaching down to depths of over 300m.
The Mark-5x
operates at 200kHz only, for depths to 240m, while providing up to 60° of fish-
and structure-finding coverage. Both Mark-5x and Mark-5x Pro models are packed
with the transom-mounted Skimmer transducer with built-in temperature
sensor.
To help anglers
avoid missing a productive area of fish-holding structure, both models feature
a unique TrackBack™ function that allows the user to scroll back and review
multiple pages of sonar history.
The new simplified
user interface is enhanced with a backlit keypad design that allows
single-thumb control, so anglers and boaters can quickly access menu features
and enter Advanced User modes for expanded feature selections.
Additional features
include a new mounting design with an easy-to-install, quick-release,
tilt-and-swivel bracket that offers convenient removal for storage and
remounting. The Mark-5x and Mark-5x Pro are also fully waterproof to IPx7
standards and come with a one-year limited warranty.
The Mark series
will be available to consumers in the first quarter of 2010. RRP starts from
$299.
