I wouldn't wash it, bad luck. That's the successful fishermans look.

Is anyone using this unit?

What are your concerns?

It is just the current version that does the same sonar/GPS functions that previous SI units have for the past 10 years.

I think you will like it. I finally broke down and got one, and like it so far. I'm still working the kinks out of it. My transducer needs a little tweaking I think. The streaks are my livewell pickup I think. Below is a pic on the maiden voyage with it.

How/where did you install the SI transducer?

Your screen shot looks like a lot of installations that are on the right side of a jackplate and the lines are due to echos from the inside of the left side of the jackplate.

Humminbird's Side Imaging covers from the water's surface to past vertical under the transducer on both sides.

What model do you have, your image looks like an ONIX SI view.

You may be correct Wayne. It is an Onix. See this pic of the transducer. I have not clipped the cable to the boat yet, waiting to get it lined out.

What unit/transducer do you use for on-plane depth readings?

What is on the left of the SI transducer?

To the left is the pickup for the front bait tank, it was a factory installed deal. The transducer pictured is the one for everything. I get good on plane depth up to 36-38 mph in Medium chop. Yesterday we had some 3' rollers, and at 28-30 mph it was not giving a steady read. It bounced from 3400' back to actual some.

All of this is off topic so I will PM you with some details.

Close enuff to on topic for me - answer away.

It looks a little high to me for on plane readings. How is thetransducer attached to the mounting board. It always seemed to me that those things where too thin to accomplish their desired result.

I am just trying to find out more about the unit.

I can do that to,if you get me a crane

Get SLADE to set it up for u you will not regret it.PM me I will get number to u

Ok, Imma leave it dirty! Lol!
