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.

Comment by Leo Nguyen on October 3, 2014 at 10:31pm: Got it Mark. I'll pull the manual out for you, and post some video segments for tutorial instructions on how to use the settings. Among that is switch between arches, and old Fish ID+ for you. The reason I ask about the Quadbeam is because you can use the left-right identification function as well. Really powerful method of detecting things.

Comment by Leo Nguyen on October 3, 2014 at 10:01pm: Mark, wow, dual 598ci HD SI combo? Very nice! What's your upgrade for parts? QuadBeam? Mapping?

Let's make a different discussion for your Humminbird unit once I got the upgrade parts, if any. Your questions will be answered through options, and I'll rip the manual apart including instructional video as well. It's pretty simple by optional selections by design.

Comment by Mark Sleeper on October 3, 2014 at 8:56pm: thanks for the info Dick, and Leo its a 598

Comment by dick tabbert on October 3, 2014 at 10:40am: Mike please feel free to chime in anytime.

Comment by dick tabbert on October 3, 2014 at 10:30am: Mark I posted this awhile back but the most important thing is set up. Let me know if this helps. I helped me but my biggest problem is I don;t get out to use my units so what I learned I quickly forget. Getting use to you unit is important.

A quick link on sensitivity. I figured there was a bunch. I do not have time to filter through any more right now, but I will a little later, if you want me to put up a few dick?

Comment by Leo Nguyen on October 3, 2014 at 8:45am: Mark, what's your Humminbird 589 combo? 589+589?

As for the flasher, it's a fun little option to play with. Once I find the school, I go crazy with the flasher doing vertical jigging. This will explain it:

Instead of colors, grey scale will display similar color scheme in darker/lighter shades of grey.

Comment by Mike Cross on October 3, 2014 at 8:30am: Thanks for the invite and I will chime in later. I will only say this I have been using electronics for decades. They are fun and frustrating at times. Any knowledge is good and the #1 for me is know the bottom you are setting the sensitivity with(sand gravel, clay etc) and you can know what you are looking at after that. In Short I rarely run on auto. I learned a lot (10% retention brain, lost 90%) at a BASS sponsored school in DFW UT Arlington TX. seminar in the 80's. But it helped me understand a lot more. Thanks again for the invite Dick.

As an Idea, I would bet there are a lot of you tube videos on this subject and maybe a page added here, with clickable links, to the videos would be great. I may as time permits offer a few up when I get a chance to do some research.
