Hey Jason. I have been retired for twelve years. When I did I sold my skeeter, and stoped fishing local and club tournaments in South Louisiana and Missing. I have since moved to Hattiesburg, Ms into a subdivision with five man made small impoundments the are duly stocked, including Florida strain bass. I bought a 2009 tracker tournament V17. I changed out the Lowrance unit to a striker 7 sv on the bow and a striker 9 sv on the console. However, when the prices came down the echo map UHD 93sv’s I purchased 2 of them and replaced the other units. I will have to wait till next year to buy the forward facing sonar. Your video helped me understand how to adjust the settings to give the clearest view on the screen. Thanks, I enjoy all your how to videos.

@seasonalextremist 4 месяца назад

The signal is always the same. All that changes is what’s reflected / filtered on your screen. Adjusting your gain, noise, TVG, etc. It doesn’t change the actual sonar but instead just changes what you see on the screen. But it doesn’t run “Hotter”

Great information. I haven't had much time to play with mine yet but I am slowly figuring it out. When I ran the wires for it I did what everybody said and ran 8 gauge wire. But the power cable that comes with the black box has 14 gauge wire. So I don't quite understand that. Even Garmin recommends using 10 gauge wire but why do they Supply such small power wires with the unit

@maxcole3930 8 месяцев назад

On my Hobbie pedal drive kayak I have an echomap ultra 106sv, steady cast, LVS34 system all powered by a Amped Outdoors 32ah16.8v lithium battery. I did all wiring & rigging myself. My voltage is exactly same at my units as directly off my battery. I ran a 8aw marine grade wire from my DIY battery box in back behind my seat, down inside the haul aof my kayak up to the front hatch to a Blue Sea dual bus bar. The from bus bar to each of my units with factory cords & fuses. I have 16.8v at all my units & that single battery will run everything about 13-15 hours on average. My screen clarity has always looked great.

@cjnugent4102 8 месяцев назад

I have the same Garmin unit with the Lv32 but I been looking at the Amped lithium battery as well, just wasn’t sure on what size I needed. 👍🏻🎣🇺🇸

@maxcole3930 8 месяцев назад

@@cjnugent4102 i would recommend the 32ah 14.8v lithium for sure! Its basically same size as the 30ah it's 4"wide x 5" tall x 6" long. It fits inside a plastic ammo can I turned into my battery box & takes up about 2/3rds of the space. It runs the lvs34 a 10" echomap Ultra & the steady cast heading sensor for two 7hour days on average. If you don't run everything the whole time like for example turning off the lvs34 or turning off the other transducer when you're not using them it will increase that run time significantly.Its an awesome battery, super small & light. Wouldn't ever hurt to go bigger either of course. If I were to buy another. I would buy the 32ah again.

@cjnugent4102 8 месяцев назад

@ZZ430T56 8 месяцев назад

Amp Hour (ah) determines your run time. Higher voltage will not improve run time or image quality. been proven on all the forums by the experts. To see what ah lithium you need, multiple total draw times the hours you want it to run. Example: 106sv and Black box draw 3 amps. 3a x 10hours run time = 30ah battery.

@maxcole3930 8 месяцев назад

@@ZZ430T56 I know that, I wasn't saying my higher voltage gave me more run time, that's not possible! I was just saying how I set up my kayak & what size ah battery I had, what units were connected , & voltage my battery was. And if wired properly with correct gauge wire & connections. You should have same voltage at the units as the battery. Many people use way to small gauge wire or even marine grade wire which is a big mistake, & to easy to avoid

That voltage level is probably key, in amateur radio brands like icom just don't put out (transmit) their rated watts without the supply voltage being at 13.8vdc, voltage below that and transmit performance suffers.

@natehoodoo6246 8 месяцев назад

I installed a voltage booster for my buddy, holds the voltage at 15.25v, no need to buy another battery / 14.8 or 16v lithium. He runs all his stuff off 1 100ah lithium. Nice part about the booster is, cheap, waterproof, and easy to install. Even if the battery drops in voltage, you'll stay at 15.25v giving you a super clear image. Hope this helps

@High-techRedneckFishing 8 месяцев назад

The thicker gauge has less voltage drop over longer distances than thinner wire. A better idea is to put the battery closer to the unit. Shorter the wiring harness the better the voltage. Less drop in voltage. Clean power makes a difference with Garmin. I'm not sure about Lowrance or Hummingbird.

@CAN43725 8 месяцев назад

You do not need a $2700 battery. Just get a 125ah Ionic lithium battery for $800.00 to run your starter battery and all your electronics. This is what I do, and I have a crystal clear screen and can fish all day running 4 graphs, two live well pumps. Most I have used is 25% percent of battery. They are also blue tooth so that you can monitor battery off your phone.

@CAN43725 8 месяцев назад

I am using a norco 3 bank charger with two 100ah ionic batteries for trolling motor and one 125 ah ionic battery for electronics and motor. The 125ah ionic is connected to a 2004 150 hp 4 stroke yamaha. The BMS on the 125ah is made to handle the engines alternator. I run a circuit breaker from the 125ah battery and from the circuit breaker, 8 gauge wire to the front and installed a fuse panel that I wire the black box and electronics to. I know of several others that use Ionics for their starter battery and electronics without any issues. I installed mine this spring and have had no issues so far.@@midiowafishing

How is this great? This technology is too good. What happens as this gets more affordable and everyone is using it? Is it really fishing then, or just catching?

Has anyone watched MLF or the Elite series on TV when they are using forward facing sonar? It is like watching paint dry! All you see is a bunch of guys on the bow of their bass boats watching their screens all day. This technology should be banned! This is video game fishing. It isn't fun! I don't blame Jason for this. Garmin is one of his sponsors. He has no choice but to promote this crap.

I just find it kinda sad! Jason has such an edge fishing on instinct (before spot lighting)! I don’t care what anyone says, Scoping has Fd up the sport! Of course Jason is sponsored by Garmin, and he knows that you have to get with the program or get left behind! In my mind, true instinctive angling will keep regressing with this video game BS! Once viewership tanks because of spotlighting, hopefully it’ll be banned from Elite events!?
