    I should have mentioned that I was anchored night stalking when taking these two photos. Fish show as solid lines as long as they stay underneath the cone of the finder when still. Sorry for the confusion.

    I've been lurkin for awhile and after reading this thread I figured it was time to join. I have the Lowrance x96 and had been wondering what was wrong. I found my answer to be electrical interferance thanks to this thread and will re-route the wires today. My batteries are up front under the deck and the lowrance wires are running directly next to the power cables to the motor. Thinking back on it I guess it should have been common sense not to do that.:D

    Great board and excellent thread!

    Thanks

    Reggis, next time out carry your camera along and take a few pics of your screen. There's alot of knowledgable people here that can help explain what youre seeing.

    Do you have the Navionics (?sp) on your unit? I am thinking about the 797 and don't know if I want to spend the extra $200. Opinion?

    I have 2 cards of it. East and south. Do not know where you fish. but most lakes I fish. It has the 1ft detail on them I like it.
    If it were me, I would spend the extra $200. As one card is $150+

    Turn the fish ID off and it will not show the fish emblems . Also go on-line and Humminbird has there manuals on line.

    First, check the Humminbird website and look up the number depth finder you guys have. See if there is even an option to turn off the Fish I.D. All depth finders dont have the option to turn Fish ID off.
