I use the Heading Line and the Angle Markers for my casting distance from the boat. You can set the distance of the heading line and angle markers. The heading line is an extension drawn on the map from the bow of the boat in the direction of travel. Angle markers indicate relative position from the heading or course over ground, which are helpful for casting or finding reference points. You can show the heading line and the course over ground (COG) line on the chart. COG is your direction of movement. Heading is the direction the bow of the boat is pointed, when a heading sensor is connected. From a chart, select Menu > Layers > My Vessel > Heading Line.

Thanks! I tried that a couple of times as well, but I found without a heading sensor, the angles weren’t always accurate.

@@68fmj51 If they are on the standard cradle, you may be able to just swap out the units - the plugs may be the same, but I'm not sure. Side Vu isn't normally used from the trolling motor, since it will be difficult to maintain a good picture on Side Vu if the trolling motor is constantly moving. I actually have mine networked together and tell the front one to get its Side Vu picture from the back one. This makes it more reliable, although 20 feet (length of my boat) behind me. Let me know if you have any other questions.

So I bought a 93sv about a year ago...it was glitching out and I trouble shot it with a Garmin tech guy. He said send it in, and they'd give me another one. Since I was in a hurry as I'm leaving for an Arkansas (Bull Shoals) trip in a few days, I paid a deposit for them to send it before I shipped their unit back with the understanding that my card won't be charged as long as I ship the old one within 2 weeks. So...the new unit came and was doing the same thing, telling me the problem was on my end. I redid grounds and problem solved. So now I have both units as I haven't shipped the old one back yet. They charged me $540 for a new 93sv as the deposit and they'll keep that if I don't send it back. Considering they're both working and I have a brand new unit for $540 I think I'm gonna keep it and have the 2, 93sv units and link them and add panoptics to the front unit. I'm running an old Humminbird up front, and though it was a decent unit, I got it in like 06' so it's outdated and won't link. I wasn't planning on the extra expense right now, but I think it'd be nice, especially at that price.

I have the same gamin setup but the only draw back I have with depth finders are, when I decide not to use it and on occasion when I accidentally leave it home I catch more fish then with it, I have a hard time with it because I believe it really spook fish up close such as brush, dock or bank fishing. I’m going to start putting the SI on auto so I can hopefully detect fish from at least 70 feet then mark it then turn of my sonar.

I went Friday and for the 1st time ever I came across a submerged hump then a saddle with a some brush and saw two bass on it with my traditional and clear view duel setup. I marked it and turned around and caught both bass. I was so excited. To be honest I like the traditional sonar better then all of them, I do like the clear view but I need my reading glass to see them little dots . Seriously I love my 93sv. I’m getting the hang of using it but I’m going to perfect it in 17 to 22 feet for now then I’m moving deeper in due time.

Because of the turbulence around the transducer. Every fishfinder I’ve owned does that, especially on a bass boat. It’s not something I worry about, because any depth I read on speed is already going to be so far behind me that it just doesn’t matter.

Do you have to be moving slow to draw contour maps or will it work when you're cruising across the lake? I just bought a 93 to put on console. If I wanted to add a 73 on the bow like you all I would need is the unit and the network cable, correct? Both units could run off the same transducer?

@InstinctBassin Жыл бұрын

You don't necessarily have to be going slow, but your transducer does have to be able to read the depth, which usually works best while you're going slow. I think around 20mph is the fastest I've been able to go while also using Quickdraw to draw contour maps, and that's pretty rare. I usually go much slower. 2nd question, yes. All you would need is a network cable, and then you'd need to go into the bow unit and tell it to read the sonar from the console unit. I only recommend that for Side Vu, since when looking at the bow unit, you'll be looking at a reading that is "X" feet behind you (typically the length of the boat), since that is where the transducer is.

Yes the units have to be compatible, but I’m unsure your terminology is completely accurate here. I have an Echomap 93SV UHD and Echomap 73SV UHD that will easily network with one cable. If you mean a non-echomap unit to an echomap unit, then that is likely correct that they wouldn’t network with each other. Definitely good to check with Garmin before buying unnecessary equipment though. Thanks for watching.

You will be able to see the data from the other transducer, yes. However I still recommend using 2 transducers (one at the stern and one at the bow) if you plan to fish from the front of the boat. Otherwise, the data will be off by the length of the boat, assuming you mount one transducer at the stern. Hope that makes sense and helps.
