I just wanted to share this shot I took today. The unit is my new HB597 HD with a US2 on my Terrova. Max mode was off and I managed to turn the sensitivity down to 5 and still saw the 1/8 oz crappie jig.

Where is your jig? Im Still learning this stuff. Is it the up and down lines on the Graph?

Yes it is the solid line going up and down from me jigging it. I was over exaggerating the jigging motion but I was just testing it out to see how well it would show up. I was very pleased with it because I was not to sure how sensitive or how well the US2 worked. In fact, you can see where I had turned the sensitivity down to 5 and it still showed. It is where the Temp. reading is on the pic. The line was fainter but still very visible.

Im wanting to mount a 858c on bow and a 998c si on console an link together with a Ethernet cable. Do I have to use a gps puck on both units or will one puck work for both units? Thks, George

I have not had the chance to test the 360 Imaging Yet...but I hear soon I'll get to play with one. For your question Not sure on the 1197c since it is a different Ethernet Technology than the current Ethernet Products. I would contact HB Customer Service for that question 800-633-1468

You can use one but I will ask why? I personally prefer GPS Receiver Mounted close proximity to the Transducer to reduce adding any additional offset and making it easier to get to the waypoints when returning with either location.

DOUG...electrolysis...596 hd di.. transd. on trolling motor..run the wires back to charging battery oppsite side of the boat from tm wires..3amp fuse + post.. evinrude 24 volt tm..tried it for first time today,,everything work good.. got home notice a acidic corrison on head of tm..and about 12 in. up the tm shaft..even some residue on the skag of the outboard motor..disconnected the battery..clean everything up...what caused it?..what to do to stop it..any help appric. ..thanks

Never heard that Fishing Electronics could have any effect with electrolysis.

Happened again, but this time when I turned the unit on it would flash and beep between the LOADING and Humminbird screen.

I shouldve posted my request here...sorry guys!!

New to the board and need some HELP!!! I have a Humminbird 597 CI HD but am not sure how/what i am seeing. I have seen pictures of other finders where there are fish arches but i dont seem to see that on mine.

Can someone provide me the settings to the Humminbird finders?
I have turned fish icons off, chart speed to 4, sensitivity at 14, max mode, 83/200khz combo..

PLEASE HELP!!

Found this a few weekends ago...

Love the boat and the Brush Piles!

858C Question

Just bought a Hummingbird 858C

The manual says take the NMEA pigtail and tape it to the coax lead for the GPS receiver unless needed???


My unit has the green black and white.

Am I understanding that the one I have is for connection to (my Marine Radio or other NMEA Device) that has its own power source?

I just bought this unit(788ci HD Di) and the second time out, when I would turn the boat motor off the unit would lock-up are start flickering when I re-started the boat motor. I would have to take the unit off of the mount to get it to work again..Any ideas?
