Simplicity and Functionality
4-Inch Grayscale Show
The PiranhaMAX 170 capabilities a 4-inch, 8-stage grayscale screen with 260 x 160 pixel resolution, so you get a good look at of the action–even in direct sunlight.
Simple Fishfinding
The PiranhaMAX really easy to use. For most anglers, all you are going to actually need to do is power on and fish. The PiranhaMAX automatically decides depth and tends to make adjustments to preserve the bottom and fish visible on the show.
The PiranhaMAX employs sonar technology to send audio waves from the transducer into the h2o. The returned “echoes” are plotted on the screen, developing a very correct image of the underwater planet, such as length to underwater objects these kinds of as the bottom, fish, and structure.
Twin Beam Sonar
The PiranhaMAX 170 uses a two hundred/83 kHz twin beam sonar method with a wide (sixty diploma) location of coverage. Dual Beam sonar is optimized to display the greatest bottom definition employing a slender (twenty degree) beam yet can nonetheless indicate fish identified in the vast (60 degree) beam when the Fish ID+ characteristic is turned on. Dual Beam is ideal for a extensive variety of circumstances–from shallow to quite deep drinking water, in the two fresh new and salt drinking water. Be aware that boat pace, wave action, bottom hardness, water problems, and transducer set up can all impact depth capability.
Fish ID+
Fish ID+ employs advanced sonar processing to interpret sonar returns, and displays a Fish Symbol when quite selective specifications are achieved. When a fish is detected, a fish icon and its depth are exhibited over the return that has been categorized as being a fish. A few various fish icons symbolize intensity of the sonar return, and give an indicator of relative fish dimensions.
Fish and Depth Alarms
When Fish ID+ is on, you can set an alarm to sound when the PiranhaMAX detects fish that correspond to your configurations. You can also set a depth alarm from three to 99 feet–an audible alarm seems when the depth is equal to or much less than the environment.

Awesome product,
Bought this from amazon about a month ago and it works awesome. I use mine on a kayak so I need to use a portable model. The suction cup is awesome, don’t worry about it falling off. I have to slide a knife under it to un-stick it from my boat.
The battery it comes with is like a small car battery, and initially turned me off to the product, this being the days of lithium-ion technology and all. I quickly warmed to it, however, as it recharges well and lasts forever. I went on a four hour fishing trip, left it uncharged, then took it out again for another four hours without coming close to losing power.
The dual beam was a big selling point for me when I bought it, but honestly it seldom spots any more fish (fish picked up by the second beam are displayed as white rather than black). I wouldn’t let this feature keep you from buying a single beam product.
When I bought it, it sold for 111.00 from a company called Ritz Interactive, which no longer seems to be listed as a merchant. Take $30.00 off for applying for the amazon credit card, and I got it for 91.00. Plus got free shipping.
I don’t really have any experience using other fish finders, but this product works great for me. If you’re looking for a fishfinder with long battery life and accurate readouts for a low price, this is a great deal.

|Fits my needs perfectly,
I’ve had the opportunity to use both the wired transducer attached via suction cup and the wireless remote sonar sensor. First I’d like to make it clear that the RF45 RSS is included. Some of the product information I read seemed to indicate that it was not included, but that was wrong.
I bought this because several times a year I go to a local lake and rent a boat to fish for trout and Kokanee salmon, the rest of the time I spend fishing I fish from the shore. During a recent trip when I rented a boat I used the wired transducer. The boat I was on was a large pontoon boat and the only place to attach the transducer was to the back of one of the pontoons. The surface was rounded and had algae all over it. I got the transducer on but after a short time with the 50hp motor at full power the transducer fell off. That was okay, I wasn’t expecting it to hold on at higher speeds, especially with the poor surface it was attached to. Once we got in the area where we wanted to fish and started going trolling speeds the transducer held on very well, it might have fallen off once every few hours. I do expect that if the surface had been flat and not covered in algae it would have held on even better. We trolled in water from about 30′ deep to 110′ deep and in every case the fish finder did well, even auto adjusting the focus on the display as we went from 30′->60′->90′. I learned a lot about this lake using the finder that I would have never known no matter how many times I’ve fished it without one.
The wireless sonar sensor was a little tricky for me because it seemed that it was not being detected and the display would go to a simulation without displaying that fact on the screen, making me think the simulation was what I was seeing in the water I was on. After I figured out how to keep the unit from going to simulation mode it worked well. I haven’t marked a fish with it yet, but I do now know the depth and what the lake bed looks like in my favorite shore fishing locations.
After several uses including an all day boat outing I’m still on the first set of batteries.
I like this unit and would recommend it to other fisherman like myself who fish from shore and sometimes a rented boat.

|Nice compact unit,
I had received this product with the intent of using it my kayak. But I’m finding that it is very handy in other situations. The suction cup holds extremely well, and is adjustable with numerous boat hull designs. The battery lasts for as long as I’m fishing, which is generally not more that six hours at a time. Everything packs neatly in the bag and is ready to use in minutes. This is the first portable unit that I have owned, and the first by Humminbird. I’m very satisfied with both.
