Raymarine Dragonfly 4DV Review


Raymarine Dragonfly 4DV Review

The Dragonfly series from Raymarine includes several units. But the most basic fishfinder within this series that you can get, is clearly the Dragonfly 4DV. This little unit is a standalone fishfinder, offering only DownVision sonar. But this sonar technology does use CHIRP, which makes this unit quite a powerful one.


Technical Details and Specifications

  • Display: 4.3″ in diagonal, 24-bit color TFT, 480H x 272V pixel matrix, 16:9 aspect ratio, optically bonded and with LED backlight
  • Waterproofing IPX-6 and IPX-7
  • Sonar: CHIRP DownVision
  • Depth Capability: 600 ft. (183 m)
  • Frequency and Coverage: 320-380 kHz / 60° side-to-side and 1.4° fore to aft
  • Transducer: Transom CPT-DV (R70373)
  • Power Input: 10.8 – 15.6 VDC
  • Power Draw: 9.4 W Max (full brightness), 4.8 W (PowerSave mode)
  • GPS: No
  • Maps: No
  • MicroSD card slot: No

The Pros

  • Affordable fish finder, with CHIRP DownVision;
  • Offers a clear view, similar to the accuracy of a photo, and with a superior target separation;
  • Transducer included;
  • 24-bit color display;
  • Possibility to automatically adjust Noise, Gain, and Contrast;
  • Horizontal display layout, offering more side-to-side screen space for sonar observation;
  • LED backlight;
  • Quick disconnection system.

The Cons

  • Lacks 2D sonar, which may be an issue, as many anglers prefer the traditional 2D view;
  • No NMEA connectivity;
  • Unit cover not included.

The Raymarine Dragonfly 4DV is one of the very few small fish finders that use CHIRP with their down view sonar technology. This helps a lot with telling fish apart from structure, and is also great for analyzing sctructure shapes, and the contour of the bottom. On top of that, it has bright, colorful display, a nice, quick-disconnection system, and comes with the transducer, being ready-to-use out of the box. All in all, it’s quite an affordable unit, great to use in freshwater and to have on a small boat or kayak.
