Anybody know anything about the Humminbird 595C?

[Michael Yeatts]

Does anyone know anything about the Hummingbird model 595C? I think it is a GPS/Depth finder combo. BPS has it on sale during the Spring Fling thing and I am thinking about buying it for my new to me boat. Does anyone know if this unit is capable of utilizing the Navonics chips? Any info. appreciated.



Thanks,

Mike

I just bought one and it does take Navionic chips; at this particular moment I can't recall which series. However, if you go to the Humminbird website, you can pull up the manual.

Thanks Marty,



Have you had yours on the water yet? If so, your first impressions? Email me if you'd like.



Thanks,

I've not had it out yet; we've still got hard water. I'm not much of a winter fisherman if you know what I mean.



I've had 565 for one season [it will be moving up front] and I like its performance. The 595C is similar as a finder and after pooh-poohing the thought, I really like the color.



I stick with Humminbird because I've been able to move up without patching and drilling holes in my glass--same mount.



I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again Marty,



Yeah, 22 years service with them and 50 more to work. I had Hummingbirds on my previous boat and liked them. My new to me boat has a Lowrance 350 at the console and a bottom line depth finder up front. I think I'm gonna go down to Bass Pro Shops tomorrow and buy the 595c; they have it priced real well and w/ the rebate it comes in at $399.99.

I got very lucky. I was at Bass Pro w/a buddy. He was looking at an Eagle and I was looking at the 595C. A stranger told me that Cabelas up the road had the 595C priced at $399 and with the rebate it comes in cheaper. Haapenstance saved me.
