if you have not already done so. A lot of info is in there. As I just recently purchased a 5 myself,
the only...

Striker 4 Plus has 4.3" screen and quick draw -
will likely be buying one of these, myself.

Ah, brings back great memories: fish trap portable, sunflower heater, dave genz blue box, vexilar flasher, waconia, minnetonka, minnewashta, 1/100 oz. jigs,
waxxies, crappie minners, tip-ups,...

7" minimum - especially if you split screen.

Biggest issue for me with SI is interpretation. I find myself saying "wow thats' cool - wonder what/where it really is ...", quite often.

Awesome price for the 93sv link skunked again gave you. I have purchased an mfd and accessories from
gps store and would again.

Interesting. Will check my 73sv manual to see if there is anything comparable for echomaps.

Thanks.

cevans gave you a solution many use. I mounted mine on the trolling motor. When running SI, I keep turning to a minimum
because of the issue you mentioned.

On the bow because that is where I do most of my fishing.
Still use a marker at times, but, I can hear spot-lock a-callin' ...
Is casting rings a humminbird waypoint function?

Great example of taking a lemon and making lemonade. :fish

Thought so - would be slick if they did, but, then I would probably also want SI ....
Thanks Rickie.

I put your boat at about 16' and 1200#. Aluminum a bit twitchier in the wind.
You are already wired for 24v and more juice would not hurt. Having said that, I have a 17' 'glass boat
weighing...

Pretty sure I know the answer, but, will ask anyway.
I know an in hull (shoot thru) transducer will not work for side view,
but was wondering if it would for down imaging?

Thanks much for the info - looking at your pics again, this stuff could be
almost (I say almost ...) as much fun as fishing :fish

Pulled the trigger on a 73sv Chrip, but not installed yet. I will use these
DI settings as a 'starting point', but, was wondering if you could summarize
some 'general' settings/thoughts from your...

Nice pics - thanks! :ThumbsUp
Any sidevu pics?

GREAT pics. If you have more, please ....

1/32 because of the slow drop. Gonna try 1/64 on bluegill this spring.

It is impossible to thank our vets enough for their service!
Partly because it was my era and partly because of the unbelievably poor
reception our Vietnam vets received in the early days, I have...

As far as the original op question, I have no idea. I would doubt it.

Way back when, Al Lindner coined (at least I heard it from him) the term 'selective harvest'.
Nothing wrong with keeping...

One heckuva maiden voyage. Used to have a 'pond jumper' like that, but it did not
have the fishin' smarts that yours obviously does. :fish

LOL - next time I'll look at the month and year

Thanks ...

echoMap 73sv has chartplotting and maps built-in with an sd card slot, Striker 7sv does not.

We will be passing through there the first week of May. Might that be a good time for the 'gills?

Use the old out-stretched arms distance approximately equal to one's height, being close to 6'
(okay, on a really, really good day), I then measure 6' at a time ...

Edited the post - need closer to 2 1/2". 20" shaft on OB - not much I can do there.
But, it is what it is and of course I am looking for a 'cheap' solution.

Have a 50 Nissan on a 14' tri-hull bass boat. Need to raise OB height, but, already set as high
as possible and do not want to drill new holes. Are there any plates or almost 0"
setback...

In Mn., there is a shallow feeding movement in the smaller, darker, protected canals on sunny days after ice out.
Has been best for me in the mid to late afternoon, as the water has had all day to...
