Hello all - if you are looking for something to do in Central Ohio as some medicine for cabin fever the Hoover Fishing Seminar is coming on 2/29/20. There will be speakers on Crappie Fishing along...

To add to this my 859 is currently setup at bow of boat. The settings/view available on it wouldn’t really help me much.

Is it same type deal with Helix units? Do the Helix sonar/gps combo vs...

Last few days I’ve been playing around with my legacy 899 & 859 units in simulation mode. Both are advertised as 360 compatible. However I noticed that the 859 only has one 360 view option...

Used old wireless router plug and went to hardware to pickup the connections and inline fuse. Wired it up and fired up my HB 899 and 859 from the comfort of my recliner. Worked great!

I watched a crappiemasters show and they were with a team that was running 360 while spider rigging (I believe they were using Helix 12). They showed how you could see your baits out in front of the...

Brilliant. I was getting ready to hook up to an old 12V battery that I have as backup down in the basement. This is MUCH more portable and since my back has been giving me fits lately keeps me from...

I happened to be watching CrappieMasters TV show and they showed a fisherman mark waypoints on side imaging at console and then “find” those waypoints on his bow mounted 360 unit. So based on that...

Next question is whether a waypoint marked on console unit would show up on bow head unit in 360 view? Both are networked along with Terrova with ipilot link.

Will all HB head units display waypoints in 360 imaging view or only certain models?

I have 859 at bow and 899 at console.

Question for the OP: Are you using iPilot link follow contour feature while spider rigging and if so can you stay on course at slower speeds? I have iPilot link and find that following contours at...

I'm gonna say a weed edge with the weeds too thick to penetrate weeds. #2 guess would be the bank.

Ok that makes sense. Thx

I run an 899si also. I usually run at 70-80 side range. I like having that confirmation of "dots" in the water column to indicate fish.

Another question that I've wondered about: if running say...

Not to hijack thread but what is your experience in being able to see fish in hard bottom areas? I do ok in soft bottom areas but hard bottom the brightness of returns makes it difficult. I've...

Agree. Soft bottom is dark. Hard bottom is lighter.

Mistake offer. Sorry.

I'm pretty sure all software is updated to latest/greatest.

Anyone know if the price points for the new Mega units are going to be comparable with Gen 1 units. Have an 899 si at console and was just looking to add a bow mount to hook up to my MK us/2 on bow....

This is not really an electronics question but wasn't sure where else to put this one...? Anyhow, see below.

I've had a MK Terrova 80# thrust for ~ 2 yrs now. First one I've ever had. My boat...

How much have you played around with settings? If you have your 2D on switchfire max mode and sensitivity up you will see fine particles on screen. Also, with SI and DI the fish "dots" are not...

Also, I noticed looking at these two images together that both have the same vertical line on the left hand side of the image (very shallow in water column). Any ideas what might be causing that? ...

I took this first shot on Dale Hollow Lake while on vacation. Right after this snapshot I placed my cursor on the school and went over and caught a dozen nice ~10" bluegills and one 6# catfish....

Gotten pretty comfortable after 2 yrs of playing around with the 899 Si and most of the time now I drive over spots looking for fish, structure, etc using side imaging and I tend to create several...

Thx for replies. Was hoping could see screenshots....

Specifically, I'm wondering I cursor over to waypoint created on console unit and hit the "Info" button will I be able to see the screenshot saved when I am up looking at the bow unit?

Thanks Rickie - will I be able to see the snapshot photo saved on SD card on 899 console unit on the bow unit?

I have a HBird 899 Si at my console with Terrova trolling motor and iPilot link. I'd like to add another bow mount HBird (either 859 or Helix 9) and network all three devices.

My question. If...
