Nothing is better than spending a day on the water. Having your own boat may have been a dream for you for a very long time, and now that time is here. Almost as exciting as finally acquiring that boat you’ve wanted for so long is outfitting it with the electronics you need to make your days out on the water as safe, comfortable, and fun as possible. Lowrance Marine Electronics is a  company that understands this and makes all the marine electronics you need.

The first electronic equipment you should obtain worry about is the safety one . A VHF radio is something that will help put your mind at ease as you venture out, knowing you can radio for help if need be. Lowrance offers fixed mount radios like the LVR 880, which features Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and FM radio reception. If you’re in the market for a hand held VHF radio, you have your choice of the LHR 80, the LHR 22, and the LHR 20. the LHR 80 is waterproof, floatable, and has a built in GPS receiver. The LHR 22 is waterproof as well and in addition has a battery of Lithium-ion type and a camo pattern body. The LHR 20 is like the LHR 22, minus the camo detail.

If you live outside North and South America, you can get the Lowrance GlobalMap 5150C full sized GPS chartplotter. It has a GPS+WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) antenna, and a five inch screen that displays 640 by 480 resolution. The GlobalMap 4800M, 5200C, and 5300IGPS all have GPS+WAAS capability, and the 5200C and 5300IGPS have color display screens.

There are five full size Lowrance fish finders available. The X136DF is a dual frequency (50/200 kHz) sonar with depth penetration to 2500 feet.
