Humminbird more advanced sonar. If you look at what you get for your money, you get almost see it as a bargain. The maps that we use is Navionics. A 5-inch color screen in 640 x 640, depth sounder / plotter has all the latest features. It also HDSI (High Definition Side Imagine) which allows one to see the bottom of a photo. The solder comes with Side and Downtown Imaging sensors. With four beams covered 180 ° of the base. Two extremely narrow lateral beams at 86 ° side handle scanning, while the two beams at 20 ° and 60 ° gives the traditional detection of bottom and fish.
If you start by looking at the installation in the boat, so it went smoothly. Some crafts and a little thoughtfulness is required. Their quick release is the best I’ve seen, you need not keep on fiddling with cables that will screw on the back.Press to disconnect or connect the pressure there. Simple and it works, but can be simplified further by lubricating the hinges with petroleum jelly or 5-56. The actual sensor is the biggest that I’ve seen, and gave uphov to a water spray that was in class with a Jetski. This was solved when I put an aluminum plate above, which also had the solder work better especially when you got up to speed. Aluminum piece and donor influence time on the boat, with the result that I had to put a plate on the other side of the engine to get the boat to break even in the water. Or select the sensor that you put inside the boat so you avoid that kind of hassle.
Once you come out on the lake, it’s the plotter to use first. It looks at the simple “chart direction,” you avoid the three-dimensional nonsense and photos which in my opinion just makes it harder to navigate. What you see is a chart which allows you quickly recognize something that I appreciate. I think like this “take me to where I should, so I can go fishing, and using sonar.” And it does.Something that is in the early going crazy at the beginning are all settings where you need the manual. When you have learned the basics so appreciate you all the settings, but you need a day on the lake so that you learn everything. There are so many different things to set up and play with so you will never be measured. This sonar is a tool that if you use it correctly will help you increase your chances of getting fish.
Of course you can split the image in different windows …
I have found myself to sit and look at things on the ground rather than to fish a few times. We ran over something on the screen looked like a tree, but that proved to be a trail to a bridge. When we had passed five times as night guards asked what was so interesting, and since they also wanted to see. Humminbird has chosen to release the software updates be free if you sign up, so if you have a färglod you can update it and get their new Fire Switch no additional cost. The new Switch with fire makes it clearer to the colors on the screen therefore easier to see fish and more.
Simple and robust quick-release, a clear advantage over loose wires …
After that I have seen with maps / sonar and features, so I can say that so far I like this sonar / chart plotter sharply. I have asked myself, what I would have a sounder / plotter. I want it to be easy to get where I want and it will help me to increase my chances of getting fish. This makes this product. I will write more about these functions and if you can use some simple strategies to find fish and of course catching fish.
