Waiting for some warm weather so I can mount them in the boat.

Purchased 2 new Humminbird finders. Helix 7 G2N and a Helix 12 G2N.  Waiting on a new trolling motor. I want the new Ultrex 80 24volt but can't see the money they want for it now.  Will keep checking on prices hopefully I can get one by spring. If anyone should happen to see any deals keep me in mind. Got my new trolling motor last week. Not all I need is warmer weather so I can get these things installed in the boat. Oh, and watching a lot of youtube to better familiarize myself with the 2 finders at least.

Justin I would assume you want a smaller unit I'm sure any brand would fill your needs so I guess we have to find which brand you like the most.

Comment by Justin on November 2, 2014 at 7:08am
I have a tarpon 120 kayak all I want is a unit to tell me depth and water temp any suggestions on what would be the best it can be old I don't care as long as they do what I need thanks

thanks Carl... its running fine now but when Lowrance first put it on the market every chart log file i produced wouldn't produce a map. errors... they eventually fixed the bugs with a few updates. now its very reliable. just think how frustrating it could be spending time mapping a lake for hours then they tell you the log files are corrupt. frustrating i couldn't be more satisfied now with this product.

Ken;; you have a real good unit for graphing .

Comment by Leo Nguyen on October 7, 2014 at 8:28am

Dick, you're dead on about deciphering info. Fish ID and Fish ID+ allow units to turn the supposed arches into Fish ID icons, even when the arches may be a flat line as a structure/weed. Learning how to read arches allow you to quickly identify the size of the fish, whether or not the fish lingers, and when you master the arch identification, you can also decipher what kind of species it may be. But when you have too much noises, and tired of reading arches, it's better to just toss the deciphering to the unit.

Carl, stop showing off your units. You're making us grey scaled technogeek look bad ;-)

Comment by dick tabbert on October 6, 2014 at 11:58pm

I've always used my units that way. There would be times I would read fish and no fish there. I was told to use the arch's and every since I just have better luck like that. I may or may not be nothing to it but I feel I have more confidants with the arches so that's what I use now.

Dicky;; this is how I have my sonar set up right now;; fish symbols showing as white fishies..  its just easier for me to see
