Can this unit be used on the Great Lakes?

yes, this unit is good in the lakes. It is better when you add the GARMIN BLUECHART G2 HXUS039R US G2 (ENTIRE US) MICROSD. The chart details become much more crisp. I used the unit all around the Lake Michigan shoreline and then down the Cal-Sag, Chicago Sanitary Waterway, Illinois River, Upper MS river and the Ohio river as far up as MM400. You will really like the performance. Get a good transducer and you can do 3-D imaging of the bottom. Helped me find a dropped anchor and chain, saving me several hundred dollars!

Yes, it is loaded with charts that are reasonably well detailed. I have one in SW Florida but previously boated on the Great Lakes and think that this would be fine. But please be aware that you cannot load more detailed charts on this unit only more detail about ports and 3D graphics. If you want very fine detail pick another unit which will accept charts

I commercial fish in Alaska, but was very satisfied with the navigation charts that were pre-loaded with the Garmin 700-C. I'm sure the Great Lakes charts are very good and you will have no problem finding your way home.

Yes it can be used any where. If you want more detail you can buy a chip to do that.

No. The 546s loaded map does not support any of the great lakes. I believe the Garmin 536s built in map supports the inland lakes but you would be better off buying the chart pack SD card for about $140 more. I believe it is called "Bluechart g2 vision VUS017R Lake Huron - Lake St. Clair"

Yes, we used this in the ocean but pulling it would require more power when the water becomes choppy as the waves gets considerably higher; as compared on lakes which would be a smoother ride.

yes you can , but this pump is too big for that kind of job . i think you are better off with an electric submerge one.

I assume you can. The idea however is that hit water leads to cleaner results

I would think it would be fine however we only use ours in a small no motor lake. We are very happy with the quality.

Yes, but understand, it only gives you the water temp for the depth it floats at. The lake will have varying temps depending on the different depths where you suspend the thermometer.

Yes you can. It is very portable. There are attachments made to mount this grill on a boat. Denny

Yes. I used mine on a large lake with a 14' aluminum row boat, and it was more than adequate. The only issue is will your boat handle the 45 lb. battery?
2033004
Yes, but in my experience, it would not recommend it. I don't like to mess around with where the water could meet electronics. Just my prerogative.

I would say no as it is a 240v unit. I don't think the unit would heat the water sufficiently.

Yes, but I recommend that you have a licensed electrician install this unit due to people in and around water, if something is not right someone could get hurt..or worse.

Yes, it is. Please see item #4 on the Great Lakes FAQ page at http://www.greatlakesgelatin.com/consumer/FAQs.php

Yes, if the boat is not anchored in a current or subject to high wind. I use mine (a 16' center console bow rider) in the Hudson River and only have a problem if the wind is blowing in the same direction as the current.

I do not know why not. It is a pretty durable unit. The manufacturer is the one to really ask.

It will work anywhere that Garmin has charted. See their inventory of charts - Lake Michigan yes, Lake Woebegone unlikely.

I have the unit which I use for kayaking. The world map that comes with it is laughable. You will need to buy a chart for that area. It is a well made unit which I am pleased with however.
