Can’t say I agree with you. When fishing a lake with a lot of Kokanee, side scan isn’t really important. BUT, when fishing a larger lake with smaller schools of larger fish, it helps immensely. It...

Thanks, ordered one from Amazon.
Found the Garmin Echomap 73 SV on sale today and brought it home. Now looking for a universal pedestal so I can replace my Helix 5 with a bigger unit.
After researching this beyond my wife’s patience I have narrowed it down to 2 units. Garmin ECHOMAP™ UHD 73sv With GT56UHD-TM Transducer or Hummingbird HELIX 7 CHIRP MEGA SI GPS G4N. Both in the...
The boat’s side console is relatively small and the current helix 5 unit barely fits in its space. While I really would rather have a 7” unit, I am not sure how to mount it using the mount that...
To be honest, I have little recent experience with fish finders. In the 90s had a boat in N Cal that had a Lowrance and it seemed to work really well fishing for trout and striped bass. In 2003 was...
Found this from when I was upgrading my 25’ pontoon boat. For Kokanee fishing do I need any imaging?
nuff said. Helps a lot in the choosing.
Guess I need to call Hummingbird and have a chat with their technical folks as to model of unit and transducer set up. Thanks, SuperD
Found the items at a West Marine store. After playing with them, are back down to the Lowrance and the Hummimgbird. The biggest difference appears to be touchscreen or not. My iPad has a...
IF I am not mistaken, I think I have received recommendations on the following:
Garmin Echomap
RayMarine Dragonfly or Element
Lowrance Elite ti7 or HD 7
Hummingbird HELIX 7 CHIRP
(I realize...
I would like to play with the units a little. While there is no Cabelas or Bass Pro Shop close to where I am for the next couple of months, I haven’t been impressed with either company’s sales...
Ok, narrowed to A few manufacturers, I have owned several Lowrances in the past and never had any issues with them or their tech support. Any ideas where I can get my hands on a few of them to...
I steered away from Lowrance because of some poor reviews I read. Anyone have any experience with dealing with their support folks?
Spent a few hours looking at specs and reviews on Lowrance, Garmin and Bottomline. Think I agree that I want the Hummingbird Helix in either 7 or 9 inch screen. They make a version with chirp, SI...
Thanks for the inputs.
From a budget perspective, hadn’t really thought about it. Best answer would be hopefully under $1,000.
From a use perspective...trolling for Kokanee across the Western...
My project boat is outfitted with an old Eagle fishfinder. Since I am going to be doing some rewiring, thought I might replace the fishfinder with one that would be excellent for trolling for...
