I got the TI9 (nine inch model) with the total scan transducer at Bass pro when they went $400 off!!! I paid $600. And the fish reveal works with the side scan just as the down scan. Side scan is a game changer when targeting fish around bait balls. Both your traditional and down scan will show you there are fish, but they can be thirty feet to your left or right, all the while, your vertical jigging for fish that are not where you think they are.

Fish reveal does not work with sidescan. That’s what lowrance says. Are you saying it does?

@J0Gu7 5 жыл бұрын

@@YankeeTankerOutdoors I use a split view with traditional side and down scan. I have the fish reveal on. and when the down scan is showing the yellow red and blue markings, I see them also on the side scan window. So i just assumed it worked on both. But I now am going to run side scan only and see if the fish reveal works that way.

Several places today have 9 inch screen hummingbird and garmin units with down and side imaging for 499-600..about 400 off ...i presently own a helix 5 with down imaging,,only problem is is open sun screen is hard to see ...wanting to upgrade to larger screen because of my failing eyesight..i do like the fact that the lowrance had touch screen..i just want a unit that is very clear and worth the investment...a 99 garmin will keep you aware of depths plenty good enough however i fish santee cooper lakes and i want to be able to find brushpiles...brushpiles in our lake mean fish in the boat..especially mid and late summer...thanks for the video..clear and to the point so anyone can understand..

Hey Matt, I use the 7Ti with side scan in an Atak and Radar. I was told about the side scan issues and needing to lower the transducer - they were wrong. Mounting the transducer direct to the pod, on the lowrance mount, leaving the bottom of the transducer flush with the bottom of the hull around the scupper, and the images are no different at all than if you drop the transducer lower into the water. Food for thought.

@williamsoutdoors6126 2 жыл бұрын

@@YankeeTankerOutdoors I think it’s important to mention those using trolling motors or the faster pedal ones with the SS though. It’s not just for seeing structure to fish it real time. It is highly valued when used to find, and waypoint, structure to fish later and it allows to get more detailed contour with Genesis Live.

Believe it or not I bought the same Lowrance unit to put on a wilderness Kayak in 2017. Drove from Texas to New Mexico to fish for a week, and could never get the touch screen to work. Later that year I swapped batteries for a larger unit (thinking the Elite TI demanded more power), and finally replaced the Lowrance unit. I wish I'd seen this video back then. I figured out the grounding problem when I setup the Elite TI for Ice fishing and found another video that talked about the grounding problem.

Josey4u I don’t have side scan. Waste of money. Side scan is only effective when moving 3+ mph. As kayakers I don’t think it is worth it. Battery life is dependent on which battery you use. I have a lithium. I can go two days.

"Covering it up" is not the fix, touching the negative terminal is the fix for out of water operation. Not sure why you use the phrase "covering it up" and because it's "not grounded" in the same sentence. It's just weird and technically incorrect.
