I want to know if a person can determine the depth of fish that are displayed out to the side of the boat with a side image screen . I know you can determine how far away they are but can you determine their depth?

One of the most awesome features of Side Imaging is the ability to mark waypoints away from the boat and the exact position with the 4Way Cursor. When you see fish or structure you want to mark just use the 4 Way Cursor and move over the structure you want to mark and hit the mark button and you have created a waypoint exactly on top of the structure not the boat position. In this image I have moved the cursor over the rock pile and you can see the Rock Pile Was 87.4 Foot to the Right of the boat Path and is current 155 feet away if I head 197 Degree Bearing from my current boat position.  One thing I like to do when I have a large area like a rock pile I want to fish is add multiple waypoints so I can see the complete outline on the GPS View so I can line up and fish the structure. The Red Dots would be an example of how I mark a Rock Pile or piece of structure so I can see the shape on the GPS View to make it easier to line-up to fish.  Here's a sample of the GPS VIEW I did on a rock pile...  That is freaking sweet!! Wish I knew this before! I will be using that a lot more from now on. Question, what happens when you reach max WP allowed? Does it give you option or just not save it or delete other WP?

Guys, need a little help with my 798ci HD SI.. Got it about 3 weeks ago and now that it's installed, I have an issue with the Contour XD BaseMap.. It doesn't show any depth changes or anything like that.. I tried zooming in, nothing.. Could it be a software issue or is this all there is to it? Thanks for the help.. ContourXD is only 3,000 Lakes accross the nation. Is your lake on the list because not all are but it does provide some with this built in standard mapping feature.

I would Export Waypoints then manage them with Humminbird PC if you got that many waypoints and then install only the ones you really need. And Delete others you don't need.

There are no "hot spots" on the map. The software is called Hotmaps. You determine any "hot spots" by finding them yourself or getting wayponts from someone else.

So the fishing spots I see on the pc app are not on the unit map. I looked at a bunch last night.

Hi Guys, I just bought a used 997c si, here on the TFF. I hooked it up last night and it powered up fine but the system status says the GPS in not connected. I used to install control systems so I know its hooked up right. Am I missing something or could I have gotten a bad puck or unit?
Thanks
Randall

I am going to fish Arlington this weekend. I also have a 997. You can plug it in to mine and see if your unit is good. Let me know.

i have a simple question. in the humminbird kits (798) for the transducer cbl. it comes with the cbl clips to mount to the transom and ONE SPECIFIC clip that is for covering the cable if you ran the wire through the transom.
this is the part i need info on. i contacted humminbird and asked if i could be put in contact with someone on the purchasing dept on the manufacturing line so i could inquire about the source for these and or the proper name of the part so i could search online.
"We just call it A cable hole cover." this hasn't yielded any results online.
i am trying to make a custom console lamp and this one that came with my unit is exactly what i need.

a contact name/number in the manufacturing side would be very helpful.

That is probably a request beyond the norm. Since you talked to them on the phone why didn't you request to order one to be shipped to you ? My experience with their customer service has been very positive. I'm thinking they would sell you just that part.
