One thing you need to know. The depth of water is subtracted from the range out setting. Using your screen for example, you are sitting in 28ft of water with a range setting of 70ft. So objects at the edge of your screen are not 70ft away from your boat, they are 42ft away from your boat. If you were in 5ft of water the objects at the edge of your screen would be 65ft with those settings. Hope this helps, tight lines..!

Thanks so much. I have a 95 sv on my kayak and another on the front deck of my bass boat. I love them and use them a lot but learned a couple new thing from this video. Simple yet informative. Just subscribed

Great I’ve had mine for this is going to be the third season and I basically use it as a depth sounder because it’s for me too complicated but this video helped immensely I didn’t know about the depth shading I will go out in the yard and tend to that right now thank you❤️‍🔥🇺🇸

Great video! I just purchased a 73sv and thanks to your video I got the quick rundown I needed. Saved me a lot of trial and error, allowing me to simply go use it and catch fish. Thanks for putting this video out there. Tight lines

This is fantastic. I’m picking up my new Crestliner XF 189 this week and it has the 73 up front and the 93 in the console. I’m saving this video so I can use your tips for setting them up. Also I’m subscribing as a thank you!

Thanks for identifying some quick items that will help me get my kayak out on the water with a useful echo map.

Great video, I haven’t had the chance to use my 93sv yet but I wanted to know what to expect. Very informative and straight to the point. You gained a subscriber!

These graphs are second to none. I bought my first one last year. Saved up 4 months to buy it. Almost bought the striker series. Glad i kept saving and bought the echomap. Good video to get guys started.

I must admit: despite the fact that I am a "humminbird" man, this video was one of the most logical , clear, straightforward explanations I have ever seen! You are to be highly commended for your superior teaching style......

Great video, definitely helpful tips…. I’m a Lawrence guy, are was. I just bought my Garment and I haven’t been out on the lake but I’m already in love with this unit. Thank you for posting.

Very informative. Just bought two of these units for $699 / unit at bass pro. Can’t wait to try them out!!

This video was a big part of narrowing down between this and a couple of other units thanks for the great videos man

Thank you for the info. I’ve had my 73sv for a couple weeks but because of rain and work, I haven’t had a chance to setup/use yet. I fish a lot of Northern California reservoirs that aren’t mapped. Can’t wait to try out the mapping feature!! Happy holidays!

Thanks so much very helpful I just got my two 9" units for Father's day im excited about learning how to catch bass offshore and by livescope

I learn more from this one video about my Garmin that I've ever knew. Thank you for all the information.

Your videos are so informative!!! Happy New Year!!!

Enjoyed the video. Just received a 93sv for Christmas. This will be a big help.

Great video. Picked up a 73SV today. Good to see the Harris chain maps as that's what i'm on.

Great info thanks for sharing 💥💥

Listen.....at 3am ....on the east coast- there is NOTHING better than one of these to ease your mind in the pitch black... ESPECIALLY if the weathers bad

Great instructional vid with a simple explanation of the processes. Thanks much for making it available as a Garmin of some variety is in my near future.. d:^)

Great video!

Great job. I also like it if you could a video on hooking up a 73 and a 93 together. Again Thanks

Thank you !

Nice video. Subbed.

Hello Sir, I'm a new subscriber to your channel, your video series about the Garmin 93SV are very informative. I have learned a lot about how to use it. I just purchased the 93SV and can't wait for a change in temperature so I can get it switched out form my current unit. I'm coming from a SIMRAD GO9 XSE. I'm looking forward to springtime, so I can get out and give the Garmin a go... I mainly fish Lake St Clair for Bass and Musky, I hope this unit and your helpful tips, help me to locate fish better... Tight Lines!!

Best video I have seen.

Yes I did just get the 93sv so this helps a lot. I noticed autopilot on your home screen! Is that what will control my trolling motor in a route?

Brightness an Gain are different i do believe.. thanks for the video

Man great Video! Just got my boat that came with a 73sv and I can't wait to get out to the unit and set it up with some of these changes. What mode were you in to be able to do that in your garage again please?

Hi,,, Very Helpful info, THANKS! FYI,,,,, I need to post a story, about a 'GLITCH' that just might save someone a lower unit! I fish NE Ohio, & Erie the most. I Just started to use the Garmin 93SV on our near-by lakes. No Problems there. We recently had a 3-day Erie trip planned with the family. First day/ first time out, a bright & sunny day,,, we went out of port & around the end of the breakwall, & suddenly the whole screen went black,,, I couldn't see a thing on the screen, & that was the spot where the bottom silt comes up to 2'ow.! That 'GLITCH', BLACK SCREEN, ruined the fams 3-day vacation. We had 3 days to find some eyes, & NOW, NO FISHFINDER!! At home, I called Garmin tec support. I Waited 'IN LINE' for 3 hrs, before I got a return call. The TEC knew about the 'GLITCH', aka lighting problem, & easily guided me through the set-up pages to correct "THE PROBLEM". The next weekend, I talked to 3 other GARMIN 93SV owners at my 75 unit campground, & they ALL experienced the same exact 'problem' & they also had to contact GARMIN to get 'THE FIX'. SO,,,, I'm here to tell you & anyone else who BUYS A GARMIN 93SV, to make sure your unit isn't in 'AUTOMATIC' CONTRAST or LIGHTING CONTROL SETTING! MAKE SURE THAT YOUR UNIT IS SET TO 'MANUAL' CONTRAST LIGHTING CONTROL. Set it around 80%, & go from there. I searched through many KZfaq videos,, & nobody is mentioning this problem. Evidently, the electric eye doesn't diagnose the amount of sunlight that's hitting the screen, & the unit THINKS IT'S DARK OUT! THE SCREEN GOES BLACK.

Just ordered a 73SV for my boat, great video man. Appreciate the tips, excited to get it setup. Did you use the swivel mount that came with it by chance? If so how is it?

I took the plunge and bought the 126SV today. I need to find someone who can install it correctly. I can use my existing heavy duty RAM mount. I am not good with wiring so I will look for someone to do it. Thanks for the advice. If you are ever on the west coast near Homosassa give me a shout.

Hello…I really enjoyed this video plus your follow up on 5 more things to do! I have a 73sv and looking at a lot of how to videos to help my learning curve. I do have 2 quick questions. You mentioned that you were not out on your boat when doing the videos so you used simulation mode using the predefined maps, not actual live recorded data. That interests me a lot since we don’t have enough room to keep our boat home and I was wondering what setup you use. My mounting connections are all on my boat where we store it, but I bring the trolling motor battery home to recharge it, so I was wondering (1) how do you enter simulation mode and (2) do you have another set of cables that run from your 73SV device to your battery to power it? I have the full East coast maps that include 17,000 lakes and rivers and I’d like to review these at home for ideas on where to boat/fish. Thanks for any suggestions…

ThankS

Contemplating on replacing Lowrance Hook with 93sv

Good afternoon!! I was doing some research last night and I think I am going to go with the 106SV and the 93SV for the bow. The way the dash is configured on my Bass Cat Pantera ll I don't think the 126 will fit. I would have to remove the windshield. Going to Bass Pro on Wednesday and pick them up. .

Hey great video. I'm in the market and you've help my decision , the 73sv uhd for console 93sv upfront. Hoping you could give a suggestion about which transducer to get

How does garmin 73sv indcate if i am to close to rocks or hidden dangers under water. Your videos have been very helpful. I am a new boat owner. Eugene Howell

My sonar connector on my cradle has damaged missing pins and cannot show fish finder Can I just replace that orange female part

First , I’ll say good video . I can not find where (a place to phyisically go and speak to a person about fish finding eguipment ) also want to know what is the price of what equipment . It would be nice if someone would tell these things . More people whom are not pros would buy if they could speak to someone with some knowledge of garmon or Humminbird .

Great vid! How do you get it into demo mode?

Give short line trolling a try. I find crappie stacked and hard to catch. I troll over them. The bigger ones hit. Make short troll passes, one pass of maybe 40 yards. Back and fourth even big circles. Using spinners, .5 -1.2 mph. Trying different tails. Works for me..

rob can I run my fish finder in my garage to set up or make changes with out hurting my transducer while in simulated mood.thank. love all of your video I have lean a lot

Does this unit use one type transducer or do you need a different one for you trolling motor

Good info but I have a question . In your shading you have 20 30 feet set at purple but when you go to your map I see 24 25 foot not shaded but then the hump at 26 is purple. Why is that? Thanks

Do u make your side scan settings the same the down scan for brightness and contrast?

So this is my first boat and my first fish finder/chart plotter. I have the UHd 106sv. My problem is, I dunno wth I’m looking at. I have the transducer mounted on the left rear toon on my pontoon. On the screen is it showing behind me as if I need to fish like I’m trolling? Should I move it to mount on my trolling motor?

Great video and really helpful information. I just got a 2022 Avalon pontoon with the Garmin system, not sure the model in the video but similar to your video based on layout of controls and screens. I use the navigation chart almost exclusively as we just cruise and pull the inner tube. I would like to have depth and water temp on the navigation screen but for the life of me haven't been able to find out if that is possible to add. I typically use the combo screens but that makes my navigation screen so small its hard to read. Please let me know if there is anyway to add the depth and temp to navigation screen. Thanks,

When making settings out of water should you turn sonar off and with it disabled can settings still be made?

Question I just got a 106sv and when I put my settings for downview like brightness and range to a certain number and I restart the unit the settings go back to auto on range and brightness is this normal?

Great video man. Thanks

How do get your data on while on your fishing charts? Like speed, time of day ect..

QUESTION : If I do all this adjusting with the thing set on DEMO because the boat is not in the water, will it save and use the changes when set to normal?

I just got my ice bundle unit, how do you check how much battery percentage is left ???

I have a 93sv on both my bow and Console. How do I get those corner squares reading on my chart setting? Thanks your videos are great and appreciated.

I have a 73 sv & a 93 sv w/o panoptic. I was wonder what happens when those are hooked up, which Transducer is going to operate or are they kept separated by each unit. Hope I worded this right.

I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth the extra 300$ for the 9 inch screen, I’m going to purchase one or the other for my steering column, then get another one later on for the trolling motor. Any suggestions?

We just bought a Garmin 73CV, but need to power it up in my house to learn how to use it. Can you please help me figure out how to convert the power cable to plug into the house?

What settings do you use to track your drop shot as it falls under the boat on 2D sonar?

Garmin ECHOMAP UHD 73cv, 7" Keyed-Assist Chartplotter can i use the chart plotter side without transducer ?

Rob, since we are not in the water, are we able to make these adjustments and changes to our Garmin while we are in simulation mode

I just purchased the 73SV for my jet boat, mainly for the charts and navigating as Tampa Bay is pretty shallow in some spots. Before I open the box, can you save a route that you planed such as the ramp to a particular spot and create another route back?

Great video. Learned a lot. Just got a 74SV, loaded with coastal maps of course. I am familiar with my local lakes in N. GA and not so much around the coast of Fla where I plan to go this summer. Any issues with getting a Lake Vu card and slipping it in for the lakes? Thanks much.

Hey Rob, I am going to buy a 93SV tomorrow for the bow. I downloaded the update for my 126SV last week onto an SD card. Can I put that card into the 93SV to do an update or do I need a new card ? Thanks

? I want to replace my bow mount echo map 73sv with an echo map 93sv. can I use the same wiring cables of the 73sv to the 93sv ?

Question: at min 4:30 or so you mention that you can just tap on a screen to enlarge it. When I do this it opens that screen but it also is trying to set a waypoint. I can't seem to get that to stop happening. Plus I have no clue how to get the waypoint screen to clear so I am stuck with a portion of the screen with waypoint settings. Is there a setting that will turn this off or what could I be doing wrong? Thanks.

will the settings hold or do things go back to default with on - off of unit

I was thinking of getting the 73sv for my kayak. But kinda scared that I might break it

Hi, Do you know what would be the maximum depth that the fish finder can read the bottom and mark the fish? Regards

Seems like if you wanted to fish 25 ft deep or any other set depth…instead of setting the color range from 20-30 you could set it at 20-25 and just fish the outer edge of the color blob on the map
