Our take on the Elite-3x Color Fishfinder
The Lowrance Elite-3x is a compact 3.5-inch color fishfinder with a 240x320 display, 180W RMS transmit power and a dual-frequency 83/200kHz Skimmer transducer with a built-in water-temperature sensor. It is rated to 800 feet and IPX7 waterproofing, and it is a basic sonar unit with no GPS or chartplotter features. It suits small boats, kayaks and ice rigs where a simple depth and fish readout is enough. It is an older model, so current pricing is typically low; check the latest best price against its recent range before buying.

Questions and answers
- Is the Elite-3x worth it over a newer fishfinder?
- It is a solid budget pick if you only need depth, temperature and fish arches. Newer units add GPS, larger screens and CHIRP, so pay more only if you need those.
- Does it have GPS or mapping?
- No. The Elite-3x is sonar only, with no GPS, chartplotter or waypoint features.
- What depth can it read?
- Lowrance rates it to 800 feet with the included 83/200kHz Skimmer transducer. Real-world depth depends on water conditions and mounting.
- Is the transducer included?
- Yes. It ships with a transom-mount Skimmer transducer with a built-in water-temperature sensor.
- Can I use it for ice fishing?
- Yes, with a separate ice transducer or a compatible portable setup. The unit itself is compact and IPX7 waterproof.
- When is it cheapest?
- This is an older model, so prices vary by remaining stock. Compare the current price with its recent range before buying.
