Does this unit work if you are moving slowly? Would like to use it on my jet ski where I get into a situation at very slow speed where I cannot tell how shallow the water is or pulling up to sand shore where I cut the engine at 3 feet. Great review by the way.

This is what i like. Comparing cheap fishy products to well established brands, not to degrade but just to see if they really do the work. Applause to you sir! Happy fishing!

I just picked up a 73sv and it came with the gt56 transducer and it’s amazing. I absolutely love that unit for kayaking.

What type of boat do you have?

As far as software goes i can view and check my recording through my active captain app

I like it bro. I want to have it

I want have it

Here is a guy knocking Garmin but just promoting himself. Why knock Garmin? All the shit you mentioned is available in the specs before you buy Garmin. Ford wanker, not GM. That is what it boils down to sonny boy.

Very informative, easily understandable and for a Angler who uses only a kayak ( myself), you give great direct information which can be applied when purchasing and not having to do the trials ourselves, which can be a expensive endeavour ✌🏽

I cant find one video of someone using the 93uhd2 on the water. I wanna see how much the double pixels make.

GREAT video. Thank you

I really enjoyed the video, which explained in detail how the finder works and how it affects finding fish. Congrats on landing a variety of fish using the fish finder. Does it give the temperature reading? One suggestion --I would ditch the music, I would rather listen to the sounds of the outdoors. Thanks for sharing

Also watch out for kids swimming in front of the boat ramp. Just the other day saw a 5yo almost get backed over by a guy putting his big a** boat in. Lot of kids swim there at that park.

I'm wondering why so many people are putting music with their videos. Obviously can't speak for anyone but myself, but the music is not pleasant. It makes it hard to hear the videos. But liked your information on the product.

How deep can it read?

Power bait doesn't work for me.ive bought some that was old,the store didn't rotate their stock and wouldn't give me a new package of bait the only people who like it that i know of are stocked trout fisherman who only fish on opening day of trout season.i bought some jigs with snall fluke minnows from power bait and they fell right apart.i stopped buying it years ago.

Want a fishfinder that's small and rechargeable and doesn't cost a fortune! Just got a fishing kayak for trout and kings, $40 is worth a try!!

You've got 3ft out below that float but a stern mounted transducer only 1.5 feet down hence your difference in depth

I have barely ever used my side imaging. Now I have a good idea of what to do with it.

This is very good stuff. Much more detail than the vast majority of tutorials on fish finders, taught and summarized nicely. I like that you are using a 73 SV on an aluminum instead of a 12 inch unit on a $70,000 bass boat that I will never set foot in.

Gonna get one. Seems decent enough for me. Wish it showed water tempurature but Ill be fine. Im a budget angler, my most expensive combo is like $150 lol. I got a kayak with outrigger setup that holds my rods and keeps me stable but upgrading to a aluminum jon boat soon. Thanks brotha!

Very good info!!

Great video bud much appreciated !

Thx for all the info I just got 1 from Amazon. I'm testing it out this weekend.

Muti spieces day 😎

Loved it

I think this is a very valid and truthful review. That Garmin is a good fish finder, so the comparison was excellent! It looks like a great find for $40

Damn music made me quit watching

Very good informative video. Thank u sir.

A lil dab of some high temp grease will do you well and prob what your noise is

I think you hit on a very important point on transducer leveling. I want to add to the idea of pointing the transducer down a little bit. The sides of the signal cone being emitted are the 1/2 power points. It takes time for the echo to be received back to the transducer. Because of the time delay, when the transducer is level, the boat moves and the echo received back from each ping is near the 1/2 power point. This echo is also smudged by random reflections occurring at the 1/2 power point vicinity of the cone. Tilting the transducer down a little will allow the ping to be sent forward slightly allowing the boat to be in the full power reflection point of the echo on each ping. If this idea is correct, then there would be an optimum speed for the boat for a given depth and angle setting of the transducer. The optimum speed would be the speed that gives the best clarity. This is something to experiment with.

Coin leveling has always been inaccurate. All installations are impacted by weight and balance of the boat. Full fuel or 1/4 tank? One occupant or two? Loaded with the same waight in the same locations each time? We shoot for the best "average'. A slight down angle on the rear of the transducer provides a smoother water flow over the face of the transducer's sonar windows. Great graphics..

i wonder how much difference is caused by the differeent screen size, more pixels on the 9 inch.

I adjusted my transducer until my fish arches appeared level on my graph's display. I also mounted my transducer as far away from the boat center line as possible which reduces ping blockage from the motor. My transducer is pointing at an angle of 3 degress higher at the back of the transducer than the front. My side imaging works great both to the right and left. If you install your transsucer where any part of it extends below the hull bottom you are only asking for trouble. Transducers can be damaged if they strike floating objects in the water at faster speeds. Not worth the risks to me.

Pretty straight forward and it helps to see how you did it. It is my turn and I stumbled upon 3/16 local or I would help you out. Mind if I ask how the Powerdrive is treating you?

Coin trick worked on my boat// A comb forward doesnt help

If you are a fisherman, you are going to be fishing, not recording. That feature is a gimmick. For what the Garmins do they are 100% worth the money. I have 106sv up front and a 126sv at the console with the get56 transducer and livescope. They are reliable. I’ve had hummingbirds and they spent more time getting fixed and wound up broke anyway. I will never buy that brand again! Garmin just work…everytime. No glitches or failures. The resolution is top notch. I use the 12 at the console as I can very easily pick out fish with it. The 10” up front is for livescope and it is amazing. I do recommend that if you buy a Garmin, STAY AWAY FROM AMAZON!!!! I had 2 refurbished/used units sent to me. One was the wrong series all together! The sellers on there will try to rip you off, so be fore warned!!!

How do you determine the direction of the fish with the fish finder

Cool video. Only when you back up on the ramp, make sure you have your seatbelt off. One less step in case of emergency

Yeah. But what about getting readings while at speed on plane?

Hey, great job. Question: what did you do with the bow navigation light? I am doing a similar install and am trying to find a raised light so it mounts aft of the motor mount, but still remains visible from ahead of the boat.

Excellent! I was just here yesterday and got skunked. Gonna use these tips for next time 👌🏼

don't care if your right or who the hell is right on transducer angles but damn good job on the simulator. thumbs up just for that alone.

How was your fishing experience in weeds? Could it still detect fish? Doe transducer get confused in a jungle of weeds @ 1ft depth?

Very cool. And informative.

2d sonar sux just buy livescope

I like how thorough the review was. I was looking for an inexpensive fish finder to put onto my Intex Excursion 5. Used the link to buy. Hopefully it’ll assist with my small pond/quick fishing trips

I wish i saw this video before i bought mine great content bud

I used it today it really works

Lucky is such a garbage brand 🤦🏽 cheap toy
