When your looking for objects, keep in mind the relative size of the object compared to how wide a swath you have the unit set to. I think the 997 screen is 800 pixels, subtract 160 pixels the menu...

I'm curious, even if he did have a screw fall out, why did it fall in the water instead of on the floor of the boat?

Navionics is always going to be upgrading their maps so check out their site to see if the lakes you fish are included. In fact they might already have been.
As for the 1197 VS the 997. Size is...

Maybe later this summer I'll get more good stuff for show and tell, I maybe taking the show on the road. I had to put mom in nursing home and so I put the house up for sale. If it sells I'm going...

If your using a tube type fuse holder you may want to switch to the new spade types. There's been some problems with the tube types not keeping contact.

This was last summer so surprised if any thing was on the beds. I mostly map so I don't worry about leaving the way points on. In fact the fish house shots should have them too.

There is a new software conversion you can down load off Humminbird that will let you export a recording on it to generic file version that's suppose to run on a couple different viewers for that....

If the sensor was on and you were traveling some where, it would read the different pressures as you went up and down hills, kind of like an air plane altimeter I think, but it does have its uses on...

Did you try it with out the switch.

Reddog posted more screen captures. Be sure to check out the 2nd page.

Carp Just so you know, if you have a Lowrance that uses the MMC/SD cards, you can save them on one and bring them into the Humminbird then.

Bet more than a few lurkers were watching close. Good lesson learned is not time wasted.

Another if it were me. I'd charge the batteries up, unhook the positive side of each battery and wait a day. Then the next day I'd take a volt meter and check the voltage of each battery to see if...

I'm trying to picture your description, a picture would be nice.
WarrenMN

Is this the same battery you were using when the quality of the images started going south?

One thing I forgot to mention on how fast to run scroll is that how wide your viewing to the sides or just one side will change all the variables. If you find a good number, then cut down the sides...

I like the brown, but I think if it was bright out I might switch to the blue or gray to try seeing it better. I don't have that problem because I have a cabinet on a swivel on the floor of the...

What strikes me as odd is what ever it was, it affected all "3" beams at the same time and increasing degree, left si, right si and vertical. This going to be one of my WAG's but I'd take a rag...

When ever I post some thing, its things I'd look at. Did you pull the connector off and put it back on, making sure it was snug? Just thinking if vibration wiggled it loose. It looks like some...

Carp, Greg and Mark are the best for info but I wonder if you mind if I ask a couple questions, just out of curiosity.

I think he already has a post on the users group. They may not have got to it yet.

Maybe over simplified, NVB maps give you a very broad coverage with very generic maps. Like Frank said, ckeck see if the lakes or rivers you fish are covered by Navionics newest cards.
...

Look see the angle the the transducer is to the bottom of the hull. You should be able to put a yard stick against the bottom of the hull forward of the transducer and the yard stick should line up...

Great screen captures.

I collected way points all the time last summer with the side scan and brought them into Fugawi. Then I edited them for names and such. And since I use my laptop in the boat I have Fugawi set up to...

If you look close you only get 1 High Definition map and they can't be used with a GPS hooked to your computer. Too bad. I think these are kind of like those NVB packages for Humminbirds. I'm not...

No problem. I may have added some imagery since you were there just now. I'm going to go into the use and editing of way points, tracks and trails after a bit. Also importing and exporting them from...
