Garmin Sideview Images from last trip

[T_om]

Great images. How deep was the water, and were you close to home?

The water was between 15 and 16 feet deep for most of those.

And yes, we were at a NE Florida lake. A new one for us and quite small. I'll post about it after we learn some additional info about the place.

Looks like an old boat to me.

The side imaging is still new to me and I don't have the hang of it yet. I can drive by a known brush pile and still not see anything. I am going to check my spark plugs this morning and see if they are suppressor spark plugs as I have been told that can make a big difference. I am using a 93sv with chirp

All those were with my 93SV, same unit you have. Make SURE you put the ferrite core that came with your Garmin on the power line. I initially had the 93 running on the trolling motor battery and that was a disaster. HUGE amount of interference. I changed to the starting battery and the interference went away. But I'm running a small 20hp Suzuki. I'm not having any more problems now at all.

The boat picture is pretty neat. Since I converted over to sidescan last year, I've already found three. One being yesterday.

I thought I would have found more myself after hearing all the wild stories of people sinking their boats behind Gaston and Roanoke Rapids lake dams. So far I've only found one. I love looking at people's side image pictures. Always something interesting even if the fish don't bite.

looks like a boat ---- gotta get me one of them side image ones

Nice images!
Crappie Wrangler - don't be afraid to change the settings. Contrast, brightness, 455 or 800, color pallets, etc. If you mess it up, you can always do a factory reset and start over.

Is your transducer level with boat moving?

[crappie wrangler]

Yes it is. I realized that I was not traveling at the right speed to get the optimal image. At 3 mph I can use the side imaging. I also had to change the colors a lot. I think I ended up with amber. For me the screen is difficult to see on a bright day. If it is overcast I can see it just fine. I need to get one of those Ram mounts but I will have to wait a bit because of budget.

If you just want to elevate the unit, get two floor flanges and whatever length nipple you need.



I'll get a better pic if your interested.
These are galvanized, so I painted them inside and out, to cut down on the rust. Mounted a painted board on top to mount the unit too.

Why is the plastic pipe attached to the trolling motor.
