In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzfaq.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Hero! Legend! Stop sonar was checked on. Had to be on the full sonar (not split) screen to see the option in the menu.

hey lawren love your videos

Will try some of what you said,, very good video,, very informative and easy to understand,, good job ! I have the elite 5 that gets stuck in the 2 ft mode and i have to turn off and restart..

Wow taken me 1 week and numerous phone calls. Last segments about depth reading only 2:1 ft. Our hook 2 triple shot only 1 week old, 2 trip this is exactly what it’s doing. Thank you Will try manual range tonight. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Would these fixes be the same for the newer Lowrance Elite FS7? I just got a new Nitro Z18 with a Ghost trolling motor and I'm not getting any down imaging or 2D on the bow unit. I'm assuming it's a simple setting issue but the Lowrance owner's manual really sucks IMO.

Thanks for this video! Going to try resetting our unit as it is losing digital depth at anything less than 8-9 feet...for general would would you recommend a 15 foot range with max pings?

I'm doing a "shoot thru" hull on my kayak. I am using a duct seal and not epoxy to keep the transducer in place. Should the duct seal be between the transducer and hull or just surrounding the transducer to keep it in place so that it doesn't move around. I'm getting good readings but sometimes loses depth and sonar completely then comes back.

Hi lawren, my hook2 7 ts with GPS started getting vertical lines in screen. All the depth and water temp is working. Seems like it's giving false or confusing sonar readings. The only thing I did different was added my maps card in slot. Thanks for any help

Great video.Thanks for making this type of video.I am still trying to figure out why my Elite 7 chirp I got two years ago just stops like the stop chart function is activated like here on your video.It stays this way for about 20 seconds or so and starts again This is drifting or going slow.New update did not help.Resetting did not help.Unit was replaced and transducer was replaced by lawrance.Cannot get a clear answer from anyone.This gets to be annoying.I will try rechecking some of the settings.It is very random.It may be getting "confused" like you say in the video,but this should not happen.I fish mainly small lakes with lots of weeds.Chirp maybe overkill for me.Tried using 200khz and still does it.

Hello, at 5:25 what are the 45 degree lines goin up to the right? I get a lot of these while using my Garmin striker while moving at 2mph. What I mean by a lot is 20 or 30 of these lines in all depths of water. And when in shallow water I can see there are no fish under my kayak, but I still get these lines. Could this be an issue with my sensitivity?

MY HDS5 STAYS IN THE 12 TO 14FT DEPTH RANGE EVEN IN 2 FT OF WATER? WHAT CAN THIS BE?

I’m having an issue where my depth and down scan comes and goes, but I still have side scan. If I shut off the unit and turn it back on, it will work again, but will go back to doing what it was I have a Hook Reveal 9 TS and I’m still learning the ins and outs of this device.

Good video as I just got a HDs 8 gen 2. But I’m am having a no source on my side scan And the box is working I have power light on and transducer light is blinking and the Ethernet ports are blinking on any port I try on the module Not sure what the heck is going on and I am using the side scan hd with the hd transducer

My fishfinder shuts down every two minutes or so. I have to turn it back on and seem very slow to come back on. Any ideas on possible reason?

having trouble converting my Lowrence Elite TI5 from metric to standard in the depth range

What do you check when depth quits and side scan doesn't show the bottom, just looks like blue sky

What is the difference between Hook9 service replacement, and a new Hook9

Thanks for the comprehensive trouble shooting guide! I have an HDS12 Gen3. I am getting an accurate graphical display of the surface and the bottom, but no digital depth, speed, or fish returns. On occasion, I get a digital depth, but it is inevitably inaccurate and tends to jump from one number to another. For example, I can be in 10 feet of water and it will jump from --- to 76 to 32, and back to ---. The boat is now out of the water, and the through-hull transducers are clean. I don't have a second Lowrance to swap out. All of my boating friends have Garmin or Raymarine, so there is no option to swap with them. Given that I see the bottom in the graphic display, I tend to believe that this is a problem with the HDS12, but I'd love to be able to confirm it before sending it in for repair. Any ideas? Thanks again!

Good tutorial! Thanks! Hook Reveal 7 Tripleshot. NEW unit. No depth reading, just 3 dashes, but showed images on the graph. Lots of noise, mostly surface, even at 8' of water, it didn't show a "bottom". Back at the dock, turned off Auto Range and turned on Downscan....showed a depth of 29'....sitting in 3' at the dock. Tried to go back to Auto and turn off Downscan and lost the depth, repeated the steps...never showed any depth! Tried soft and hard reset...no change. Returned it

My buddy has an Elite 9ti2 and we are losing depth when we are on plane. The paperwork that came with the unit says it's possible to lose depth at speeds of 55 or more but we feel this shouldn't happen. It's important to know the depth of the water at all times especially when running at higher speeds. He replaced a previous unit, an HDS 8 that was doing the same thing and after talking with Lowrance, he was told to do a software update and that should fix it but it didn't. This past weekend was our first time using the unit and we'll try some of the tips you suggested in the video but do you have any other tips or suggestions on why this unit loses depth and how to fix it. I've spoke with Lowrance and they say transducer location and turbidity causing the lose of signal. We have the transducer mounted at a good location on the transom, yet not too low for water to hit it and flip it up some, it was still level when we trailered the boat!

Is there a reason why my sonar scroll will randomly slow down to -1 scroll speed (I know that’s not a setting but it slows down super slow) from my 2x scroll speed settings I have my unit set to? The setting never actually changes but the unit like stalls then speeds back up. The unit only seems to do it in Auto range and in 200Hz. I have always just set my depth like you have said in your other videos but I been fishing a river that I go from 5ft to 60ft multiple times a day and just got tired of changing the depth so I wanted the auto to work. Or is this a reason why you never used auto mode?

lawren new hook2 5x unitshowsvertical lines then depth then line temp stays depth comes and goes

I removed the transducer from the thru hull and mounted it on the transom.. But still get sonar but not depth... 3 dashes... Any suggestions to look at? Thanks Joe

I have a Lowarance Elite 4 DSI which suddenly doesn't show an image. It shows depth, speed, is illuminated, ducer is parallel, and clean, but just black where there should be structure, fish, bottom, etc. Any ideas? Thanks!

Great videos,, except my issue isn't covered here. When I turn my HDS5 on, the screen is barely visible in daylight. I have to move it around to get an angle where I can see it. Really can't see to make adjustments etc.. but can see enough to tell the unit is on and reading depth. Any idea?

Hey my fish finder is doing the right reading but it'll go to 0 ft and then back to the depth but doesn't show the bottom

Sir I just received my item GARMIN STRIKER 4 the problem is it only shows blue screen with no depth, no bottom landscape, no fish Indicated,, Hope somebody can help me out

I have a hook2 7. Clean out the debris in the transducer and I make sure all connection are connected. Still won't read the depth. Check connection for corrosion but none.. swap out battery but nothing help... swap my unit onto a different transducer and my unit still not reading it. What advice can you give me??

HDS10 temp all ways reads 131 degrees. through hull transducer.

i have a lowrance hook 2 4x bullet attached to trolling motor , it showed depth up until 50 feet , then i had no depth and many verticle lines and screens (?) with 0's going across the top and 100's going across the bottom, overlapping....... how can i fix this ?

I have an HDS 5. My issue happens when I am moving or start to move, I almost get broken vertical lines and no digital depth. Even after I stop it takes quite a while for it to start reading accurately again. Any ideas? It has a brand new transducer

Hey there maybe someone can help.. Bought hook2 7x in August 2018. Worked perfecty fine before storing boat for winter. Just put boat in water today and there is no depth or temp reading. 2d sonar shows a white screen and di, Si show nothing aswell. The transducer was not moved or hit while In storage. Tried restoring to factory settings and still the same problem. Any trouble shooting advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance..

Who has another unit lying around?

Who in the F has two units to do that test. Seriously?
