New Version 5.6 with more power and improved software, the Showdown is your ticket to simplicity in seeing what's going on down under the ice! This is a very compact unit and I was excited about the ease of use last year when it first came out and this season's improvements should make it better and easier to use for anybody.

New for 2009! 1 foot Incremental Zoom for even better target separation! Introducing a profound advancement in ice electronics that's both simple to use and affordable. The Aqua-Vu VPG (Vertical Pixel Graph) offers a top-to-bottom high-speed liquid crystal display that matches the water column. No longer is it necessary to strain your brain or your eyes while attempting to read those confusing circular flashers. The water column isn't laid out in a circle-and neither is the VPG. It's the first ever high-speed LCD sonar that responds instantly to lure actions and fish movements. Another first-the VPG's "Ice Mode" employs an internal heater that keeps the liquid crystals moving and responding at high speeds— even in extreme cold.

Standard Features Include:
• Vertical display matches the water column for easy signal interpretation – top is top, and bottom is bottom!
• 1000-watts true RMS power = 8000 watts "peak-to-peak" • Simple 7-button no-menu operation
• Heated “Ice” mode prevents display slow down to -40-degrees. • Silent operation-- solid-state design is power efficient and eliminates the annoying “whirring” flasher motor noise.
• Up to 48 hours continuous use per charge
• Cool white backlit display • 720 vertical pixels deliver acute .46”-inch target separation in the 20’, 40’, and 60’ranges.
• Targeted digital zoom – Focus in on any segment of the water column
• Auto bottom lock zoom
• Digital depth display for fast reference
• Digital range control – 20’, 40’, 60’, 80’, 240’
• Auto and manual (25 level) Sensitivity • 4-levels of grayscale
• 10-level noise filter • 18-degree hanging transducer with self-aligning, adjustable bracket
• Includes 12-volt battery and charger • Weather resistant neoprene carrying case
• Half the footprint size of standard flashers
• One year warranty

Note: A lot has been going on since last season (2008). Nature Vision (Aqua Vu) is gone, kaputt, out-of-business! And heaven's to Betsy, I was sweatin' bullets becasue I used a Showdown (3.2 version) all last winter (2008/09) and absolutely LOVED the Showdown - especially for crappies!!! It worked great and was totally compatible with a Humminbird ICE 55 and a Lowrance X-67 Ice Machine. I could see my itty-bitty Hali Jig 20 feet down and I was watching the crappies come and go! FORTUNATELY, in all the restructuring and sectioning up, the new owners of Marcum brought the Showdown along with them and life is good! I believe this is a really good, affordable fishing investment which is made in the USA by my friends at Marcum.

Summary - If you like simple, the ShowDown should be just the ticket for you!
