Thread: HUmminbird 777c2

is there a way to undo the upgrade where I can restore defaults and then do it all over?

What I did the first time I upgrade ( I didn't restore the defaults, I didn't know then ) I just restored to default and reloaded the upgrade. I think it worked, but what do I know :p.
I seem to be able to find objects, I can see a jig or minnow and I can see the fish arcs.
But when moving much at all the fish arcs look like long curved lines.
I will get the unit and power up on the bench and get my settings and post them today. Maybe that will help, I may not have mine set right, I just play with it till I get it like I want it right or wrong I don't know :D

Thanks....I thought I might get to see you at MS Camp but you were like George Jones...:D:D

Sure will MrDon, I'll take it to work and power up and get a copy of all my settings and post them today.

Yes I sure wanted to come to the MS Camp but the banker and a good customer said I needed to work :D

Look like you and CP had a big time up in Ky last week. (24 more months then maybe I can play :D)

ok, I will try that...

Here are my settings and some more information I found on the SwitchFire modes.

My HB 777c2 Settings

Quick Menu or the first menu:

Sensitivity = 10 (so far this has been the best for me)
Chart Speed = 5 (I change this with the speed of the boat if trolling)


Sonar Menu:

Beam Select = 220kHz
Surface Clutter = 5
Switch Fire = Clear Mode (I have played with this some, I think there’s a rule of thumb this is for shallow water, I maybe wrong, I fish 25 ft or less most of the time )
Fish ID = Off
RTS Window = Narrow
Bottom View = Structure ID
Zoom Width = Wide
83kHz Sensitivity = 0
Noise Filter = High 3

Hope this helps. If ya'll find out I'm doing this wrong let me know. Like I said I just play with it till I get it like I like it, don't know for sure it's right or wrong :D

Well I restored defaults and reloaded the upgrade. Will have to tweek next time on the water.....hopefullly this helps and either way I will post an update.

Thanks Alan, I am fishing tomorrow at Smith Mt Lake so I will try these settings out..

I will post a follow up...

Well, I tried Alan's settings first and they were not a lot different from my settings..I am running the 200/83 transducer setting and his is 200...I saw about the same that I have been seeing so I started changing....

Sensitivity 2-18 in 1 step at a time settings...

Switchfire from clear to max to off....

From auto to manual depth settings....I was in 30' at the deepest so I went to 30' max until I got in 15 fow and would change..I continued to change Sensitivity settings as I changed depth.....

Fish ID( which is a ridiculous & false reading) to manual (arches)..Haven't seen an arch yet from 0mph-4mph... With all those fish showing on FishID you would think I would see one...:D:D:D:D

It is showing brush that is really not there most of the time...At times when we would see a big brush pile & would cast out to see if it was there...It wasn't.

I have fooled with this unit for at least 6 months...I am really disgusted and have no confidence in it..

I am not entirely new to HB or Lowrance as I have had many with no problem setting them up..
