I dunno half the things this thing can do but it accurately tells me the depth and I can watch my crab pots drop into the sea. Also shows you the fishies swimming around under you - I’d get it again in a heartbeat
Good job Ryan 🎣👍... Please keep ‘me coming. Just ‘upgraded’ from the 5” t/s to the fish reveal 7 t/s since I’m more interested in identifying structure hoping the bigger screen will give me a more crisp resolution etc.
I just bought a Eagle 9 tripleshot, I cannot seem to find any tutorial videos on it. I read that the eagle is the replacement for the Hook. does this mean that this tutorial will work for the eagle?
Hi, in the start, I hear you say the (black) water column stretches out 20 feet to each side, and that you do not see the bottom right below the boat …..this is not true in my view…..the water column stretches 20 feet down, as the boat is on 20 feet of water…..and structure or fish right under the boat close to the bottom shows up in the picture close to the 20feet distance line on both sides of the centerline. So the bottom seen at both sides at 20 feet is right under you, but 20 feet down. Fish further out to the side will show op at their distance from the transducer as light hits them (as if iluminated by a torch) and cast a shadow on the bottom where the straight line from the transducer to the fish hits the bottom……kind rgds Henrik
My understanding is the same as yours… The empty area in the centre is the water directly below. When you start getting structure on the display, that’s when you start counting the distance to either side. For example, if you’ve got 20 feet of water below, you’ll only start seeing structure at the 20 foot line either side, then you can start calculating the distance away from your location. With 20 feet of water below, the 40 foot line on either side means the object you’re seeing is only 20 feet away. I may be getting this wrong, but that was my interpretation of how this feature works?
I have an opportunity to buy one of these today at a really good price. Can you set a waypoint on a piece of structure with the cursor in sidescan mode?
Is this unit worth buying? Has anyone had any issues with the triple shot transducer or unit itself? I’m only asking because this unit is my first choice however I have seen some bad reviews.
To an extent, yes. The Elite is a touchscreen display and has more menues and options but overall, what your looking at and interpreting on the screen is essentially the same.
Great vid, but couldn't find what I was looking for..... When I plugged in my unit with the tripleshot transducer there was no sidescan option ??? How do I enable it ?
It should have by itself. Make sure the plug is all the way in. Then maybe a soft reset on the display. With the unit off, press and hold the Pages button. Then press and release the Power button. But continue to hold the Pages button till you hear the double chirp sound.
@@bretana7438 no you don't need an SD card for any of it to work. Only time you need an SD card is if you are transferring or saving data, doing a software update, or putting in additional mapping.
@@bretana7438 no that one does not do sidescan or mapping. The Splitshot version only does 2d sonar and downscan. And the X version only has GPS but no maps.
I believe so. I would have to check but I think you just use your arrow buttons and move the cross hairs over where u want the waypoint and then hit new waypoint.
Love your videos ya make it so easy 2 use the units I went from hook2 two reveal 9 I love it thanks for your help ryan would never been able 2 get the most out of my unit without your help
Yes you can. Just simple press one of your arrow buttons to bring up the cross hairs. Then move then over to the location you want the waypoint and press the Enter or Waypoint button.
It depends on how you want to offset the depth. If you are trying to take into account the depth of the water inbetween the surface and the transducer, then you set it to a negative number. If you are trying to add in the depth of let's say a keel sticking down below your vessel and the transducer that is located above it, then you would set it to a positive number.
I had to take it down but im working on moving it to a new domain name. Just been a slow process. However, yes I do have more Reveal videos coming. I'm going to be posting the Downscan video within the next week and then I'll have the charts video coming out after it.
This is really helpful! I use a 50/200 sonar with down scan today, but really would like to purchase a sonar like this with side scan. witch one are you using her? Or do you have a tip witch one to buy to my Hook Reveal 9?
If you use a 50/20p transducer then im assuming your in saltwater. In which case I probably wouldn't recommend this unit cuz it only does 83/200 and is really meant for fresh water. However, if you are using it somewhere warm like the gulf and arnt going too terribly deep then it will work.
@@nightanddaymarine8823 Thanx for replaying. And yes, I use it at sea, but this one I will be using on my riverboat/lake, max 150-160ft, but for the most around 30ft.
@@mobiusproject4602 this unit would work well for that then. It comes with the tripleshot transducer which does traditional 83/200 chirp sonar as well as downscan and sidescan imaging at a decent price.
Please explain your pyramid geometry picture. Timewise, a vertical picture line at the very top of the display is recieved just now, while a line printed half inch lower from the top was recieved some 10 seconds ago….so your pyramid top and bottom represents a time and boat position difference if crusing. if a fish is right under the boat, it shows up in the water column on both sides of the midline….the closer to the midline the two dots are, the closer to the boat/surface. If they show up close to where the bottom starts further away from the midline, they are close to the bottom. A fish further to the side, is difficult to position, the only help is if it is big enough to cast a shadow on the bottom, and then imagine a focused torch shining at it from the midline (at the water surface) creating the shagow, and judge its position from that. I do not understand your statement, that you miss a part of the bottom? When you see a known bottom structure right under the boat, that extends further to each side of the boat, a log or a sunken boat f.ex., it shows up on both sides with the expected geometry (depending of boat speed vs scan speed) in the graphics. Please explain….kind regards h.
Yes there is an area that is missing on the sidescan and that's the area directly beneath the black water column area. The sidescan imaging isn't a full 180 degree sweep. It's like two 70 degree beams shooting out on both sides. The area that you do not see on the sidescan that is directly below you is the area that shows up on your downscan. It doesn't just take a full image of the bottom and then split it in half for the left and right view. And the pyramid image is it help visualize that the black water colum area that you are seeing is at a downward angle. So a fish that shows up on it is going to be so many feet down and so many feet to the side. It won't show any fish that are directly beneath you. They will be out to the sides of you when they appear. But again the fish directly beneath you, will show up on the downscan imaging instead.
Go to this link and its like the third image down. That's for the most part what it's like. Altho there is a little more overlapping with the down and side beams. www.thehulltruth.com/marine-electronics-forum/835191-transducer-placement.html#&gid=1&pid=2
on mine lowrance x7 I don't know see side scan is it because I need the sd card? mine question if I buy a sd card for it would I have to download the software for the sd card and then install into the lowrance?
I really wish you had shown how to make a structure map. This is a really cool feature and you can supposedly choose the width of the side scan area to record to make the structure map so you don't have a bunch of dark area.
Lol why do you think I make all of these videos??!! Tho it's not always customer service's fault. Granted their tier 1 support is sub par, but their senior techs are usually pretty knowledgeable. But Navico's logistics and inventory forecasting is absolutely terrible! They are usually out of stock on almost ALL products for the first 3 or 4 months of the year, every year! Plus they can't keep up with production as well. They are in serious need of a factory expansion!
I have a hook reveal 5 with triple shot transducer. Why do I not have sidescan option available in screen pages? I do have tripleshot transducer selected. Thanks Tony
Hmm.. it should automatically show up as an option in your Pages menu.. you might try doing a soft reset on the display while the transducer is connected. If that doesn't do it, then go to your Settings, then select System, then go down to the bottom and select Advanced. When that screen comes up, I think its the Features option that you will select and then you should see Side Imaging as an option to turn on. Once you turn that on, it should then show up as an option in your Pages screen.
If you are talking about a split screen with, for example, sonar on one side and structure scan on the other, you press your pages button and then arrow down to Add Page. On the next screen just select which screens you want to view on the split and then select the layout that you want and then arrow down to save.
I have noticed some fishermen using a different megahertz range on sidescan than on downscan, is this necessary or can both be ran at 800mgz? Default has both at lower range to give more coverage but I'm hoping to be able to use 800mgz for both when I need the detail.
It just really depends on your water conditions. Typically 800 is the best option for downscan, but iv noticed on many occasions that 455 is better on side imaging. But sometimes 800 is better if the water is really clear and relatively shallow
@@nightanddaymarine8823 That part I understand, can both sidescan and downscan be set to 800 without interference between the two? People with Hummingbird say it causes problems. That's why I was asking you. I usually use 450 on both while searching down a creek or channel but need to increase to 800 for more detail. Can they both be on 800 at the same time or just one of them?
@@ramondanderson6730 there is no interference if you run them on the same frequency because the signals don't really overlap one another. They are very narrow thin slices of signals unless traditional sonar that can interfere if running the same frquency. Some of the displays won't even let you operate them on different frequencies.
@@nightanddaymarine8823 Excellent, I keep hearing different on some of the youtube videos. Nothing was said the owners manual about it so I didn't know, now I do. Thanks
Have a question. While running side image looking for beds does it allow you to mark the bed on the side image and transfer it to the chart so you can go back to it?
Yes it does. You just have to press the arrow buttons to bring up the crosshairs on the screen and then move them over to the structure which will then let you save a waypoint.

It makes me wonder how reliable the traditional and down scan is knowing what I’m getting on side scan 🧐
@@mrmagicjax well I can say that the traditional sonar and downscan are completely different signals being broadcasted out and use different elements inside the transducer to create the sound waves, so even if side imaging is off, the rest should still work independently of it.

just started using my 7TS on my kayak. am new to using these as well. Did get sonar and downscan with fish reveal working but have an issue with sidescan. while it seems to be working (shows the water column and looks like its working i didnt seem to see any structure. I paddled by a dock and expected to see something but didnt see anything. Still have to do some more testing though
So it shows the bottom as just flat and there's no structure at all?
@@nightanddaymarine8823 mine does the same it will tell me whether it's a hard or soft bottom but will not register anything else with much clarity
Man i thought it was just me
