Sweet thanks. What is your color settings on?

I need them too!!!! if anyone else wants to add to or fine tune what we have please do.

Which transducer do you have selected? I have the HDI 7 on my trolling motor, so it's not the skimmer.

I have the 50/200hz on the console and a 83/200 he on the trolling motor. From what I've been reading I've had my sensitivity up too high and color line too low

I'm looking into buying one. Prices differ, which transducer do I want? 83/200 or 50.

83/200hz.the 50 is primarily used for saltwater or deep waters. I just got a really good deal on it

I need this info too, Nice Hawk by the way Aggie, I have one too, don't see them often.

THANK YOU! I been needing this info also.

I managed a retail camera store years ago and we rented very high end cameras, lenses, and equipment. Never had a problem with theft but did have the occasional damage that was paid for by insurance purchased at time of rental. An issue with high end rental equipment on the boat would be lien interest as a boat is titled. Unless any lien on the boat title is subordinated to your ownership/interest in the equipment then that equipment could very well be considered part of the boat.
