In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ru-vid.comUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

I have this same model... I have a small Battery required to power up the Garmin because of possible interference. Not sure if i am going mount it(transducer) to the Bow Trolling Motor or directly to the transom like you did.
@@barceloco and Vance Kaetsu, did you find it out? I have the same question. Fishing FinAddict , to have it running I only need to plug the fuse cable (in red) and the negative cable? The brown and blue cables aren't used at all? (considering a simple setup, as you did).
Vance Kaetsu the brown and blue wires are used to connect to NMEA 0183 devices, and to share route and waypoint information (an “in” and “out” wire to such a device).
Hey Mark, I went to the hardware store and put in a shrink wrap ring connector. It is secured to a buss bar that runs all power for my lights and switches to the battery.
As this model does not have wifi conectivity, Does anybody know whether it is possible to share tracks, waypoints and routes through the datacable ? Thanks!
According to the Garmin site "You can share data if two compatible devices are connected using the blue and brown wires on the power cable or using the User Data Sharing Cable".
I use a 12 v deep cycle marine battery (85 Amp hours). It is actually my starter battery and is capable to handle the fish finder too without any problems. I do have a separate battery for my trolling motor...
I just got mine installed today and he installed the bracket to mount the transducer according to template provided. According to this your bracket is a bit high but you are still able to adjust transducer by loosenibg the screws. I hope he set mine the proper way. Are you getting a good signal?
Yep! No issues. The template isn't a perfect match for all boats. You have to take into account variances in the transom and hull that will disturb waterflow. I wouldn't worry about your placement too much, unless you're having issues.
The resolution is the standard 1080p. So if there's a res issue it would be with playback (internet speed). As far as lighting there's only so much you can do in a garage and we're not getting paid for this so we don't have money to invest in light boxes.
