Bro! You broke down and simplified exactly what I needed to know about these Garmen sonars…I just picked up my first 75sv and never had a sonar before or a boat…this will help tremendously come spring…Your video surpasses the dozens I’ve already watched by far…Just subscribed
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support!
Excellent information. I just got the Garmin 73sv echomap for my kayak.
Heck yea man you will enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
Thanks brother! Just bought a boat and this helps a lot to understand the 942xs.
I have had the 93sv for 3 years now and am still playing with it. Your video is the first one I found that actually digs into the details of sonar. There are other sonar settings I am also confused about like changing sonar angle, frequency, interference etc. Do you have other videos available? Thank-you.
Thank you for watching, I do have another one but it is on Humminbird units. As far as frequencies the higher the kHz the more narrow the beam. For example if I’m fishing a point I’m the only one there it is 25ft deep I run my sonar on the lowest frequency possible as long as the water is not muddy. But if I’m fishing close to another boat tune that frequency up and now you will not be interacting with their frequency or them yours. Get on the internet type in fish finder frequencies there is all kinds of little tricks. Interference usually happens if a unit is installed incorrectly or transducer also I turn my unit to standby at the dash when I’m fishing from the front and vice versa if I’m at the dash for possible interference purposes. Hope this helps and thanks again.
Great video helped me out a lot...do you have video on marking the spots you see where fish are at and how to navigate back to that exact spot?
Thank you for watching and as of now I do not although you might want to check out Tactical Bassin I believe they have a video very similar to what you’re looking for.
Great informative video....well done!
Great video bud. Thanks for info. Have a 94sv I use offshore and can never see the bottom structure that well on my clearvu or side scan. Gonna try some of these setting to see if helps that. Thanks again.
No problem I hope it helps and thanks for watching!
Good vid ...nothing beats time on the water
Thanks for watching and you’re absolutely right!
So if you change color on down view will it just be on down view, forge that color change on let’s say side view?
Yea so changing the color on down view is similar to side view it really is an adjustment that can help you individually with your eye set. So if you can see better on sunny days with blue I might see better with green etc. it’s just a simple adjustment to your liking. Thanks for watching!
I’m struggling with side scan on my lowrance HDS 7. I can get it to work, but it’s just all black off to the sides and I cannot see much. On 800khz and 455khz.
Sounds like you may have blockage or interference with the transducer. Try sitting still and see if it has any picture at all if no there is more than likely an issue with the level of the transducer or some type of interference.
Great video, Where are you located.
Walker County Alabama
Where do you position the transducer to get the sidevu ? Does it have to be infront or can it be on either port or starboard side ?
Thanks for watching I’m going to copy a link to John Crews page he can explain it better in a video than I can typing it out where you can get a visualization of the process. th-cam.com/video/9tC7EnHwJPY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, we have been struggling with our Garmin 93sv this really helps. Question, what happens when you go to split mode? does that degrade the image? Trying to use both sonar and ClearVu simultaneously to find and confirm fish, ideally I would see the same fish return on both images. Your thoughts?
Dennis Rudloff thank you for watching I was glad to help! Split mode basically shows you the sonar but in two different frequencies. No it will not downgrade the image on any Echomap model that is not a UHD you will have to be at the correct speed at the appropriate time to get a clear view of fish with ideal target separation.
Thank you u are a big help 🙂
No problem thank you for watching! 🎣
great video setting mine up this morning
Thank you for watching!
Why would my finder only scan the top 5-6 foot ? I tried adjust it but it always goes back to just the top 5 foot
That’s a good question, there is several things that could be the source one is your transducer adjusted correctly? Two is the speed you are scanning at too fast? Three is there any options you may have accidentally selected? Etc. if you have ruled all these options and others out look me up on Facebook or Instagram and send me a video or live video chat and I will do my best to help you diagnose the issue if worse comes to worse reset to factory default settings and start over.
What can I do as not to see my down rigger ball? I have the transducer set at 22 degree angle.
You would need to cut down the sensitivity although depending on the angle of the transducer can create a better reading you may need to adjust a different angle. Also some issues such as this are hard to address without seeing the issue in person! Hope that helps!
Electronics is a Never Ending Learning Experience , I've Learned That lol 🤣,, I Just Upgraded To The Garmin Vivid 9SV , Here We Go Again 🤪🤦🏻♂️ lol 🤣🤣
Questions I hava garmin echomap 126 sv ultra I do alot of down rigging and it noticed when im down rigging on my sonar screen 2d and it shows alot of cluster and arches but relized it might be my 4 downrigging weights and cabel is there a good setting to fade it out a bit
Thank you for watching I haven’t used the ultra units but I would believe that the settings are similar. If this is so it all determines on water clarity for you settings especially with 2D because of trash that may be in the water etc, so next time you go out set it to default and adjust the gain accordingly to get the best picture possible. Thanks hope this helps if not you can reach me on Facebook or Instagram and I don’t mind to do a live call to try and help you set it up! 🎣
@@coltonposeyfishing thanks im fishing calaveras lake and brauning lake in san antonio texas lakes ate pretty much mud bottoms but these oast 2 days water has been real choppy
L
@@lawrencefrausto7618 I gotcha just get out there and spend time with it using the gain also if you are fishing an area of similar depth turn your range to 10ft below the actual depth so you have a consistent reading and it’s not jumping around sometimes this can cause streaks and confusion.
Have a question I have a Garmin echo map 126 sv ultra and ive noticed that every time I shut my unit down and power up the next fishing trip i have to go into my settings on my clear view and side view and adjust my brightness it seems to go back to auto is this normal im also up to date on my softwart
I haven’t used the ultra units so I’m not positive about that particular question. What I would do to get a for sure answer is call Tech support for Garmin and they should be able to help you out. Thanks for watching!
@@coltonposeyfishing also have another question on 2d sonar do you run your gain on auto medium I was out at lake today looking for reds at calaveras lake in San Antonio this was the image I got on my 2d sonar
@@lawrencefrausto7618 it all depends on water clarity and boat speed, so if I am idling slow in super clear water I will use the auto high anything other than clear water I use the medium.
Im trying to load picture its not allowing me to
@@lawrencefrausto7618 yea I don’t know how to do that on here but you can go to the internet search page type in Colton Posey Fishing it will pull up my social media’s you can send it in a message there. Thanks!
I cant for the life of me get my settings figured out. When I try to replicate the settings you are using my screen is almost completely black especially when I turned my brightness down past 50. 93sv plus. Any tips?
Maybe it sounds like you might have an issue with your transducer? Try setting your unit to simulation and see how the adjustments work to ensure your transducer is leveled properly. Also if this isn’t the issue contact me on Facebook and I may be able to help through pictures or video.
@@coltonposeyfishing thanks for replying so fast! I tried it on demo mode today so ill give simulator mode a shot tomorrow.
@@Bulldogranger no problem thanks for watching!
hello, thanks for the video, are these settings identical for Garmin striker vivid 9 sv!
Thank you for watching, I’m not very familiar with the striker units but the settings will be very similar for any of the Garmin units. Hope that helps thanks again.
@@coltonposeyfishing Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing! So, where are you located in the country?
No problem I’m located near Jasper Alabama.
I'm interested in learning more about my electronics. How much do you charge to help?
@@MrBullardboy I don’t charge anymore I’ll help to the best of my abilities I started a homestead and have no use for money.
So how can I contact you to set a session up I stay in ATL ill come to you if I need to
@@MrBullardboy Facebook or Instagram just type Colton Posey Fishing into your internet browser and it will pull up my social media accounts contact me there.
Darn good video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
No problem thank you for watching!

selamlar bana garmin 9 sv modelinin tam anlamı ile kurulumunu anlatırmısın başından sonuna kadar
Hi, can you tell me about the installation of garmin 9 sv model literally from beginning to end.
I have a Garmin 9sv ,love it,the only thing I don't like is that I don't have mapping like navionics. So I downloaded navionic on my phone for 16 dollars a year and it works fine
👍👍👍
