Lowrance® Hook2 4X Sonar/GPS Combo ON SALE: amzn.to/2CKtYml
Check out current pricing at my affiliate link above
4” SolarMAX display for better viewing
Screen cover: amzn.to/2RwVfAI
I have adjusted my transducer and made the picture better/clearer, just have to tinker with it to get it just right. My boat has a weird hull so its probably fussier than most boats.
One-touch access to key features
Wide-angle Broadband sonar
Powered by proven Lowrance performance, the Hook2 4X Bullet GPS Plotter is the world's easiest fishfinder. Easy access to key functions, simple menus and autotuning sonar includes wide-angle, broadband coverage and simple, accurate GPS plotter to show your location. The 4” SolarMAX™ display allows for superior viewing in bright sunlight. It simplifies finding fish with double the sonar coverage of traditional fishfinders. Optimized keypad with one-touch access to key features. Easy front dash or gimbal bracket mount.
Easiest to Use - Auto-tuning sonar and phone-like menus. Simply turn it on and fish.
Wider Sonar Coverage - A wider sonar cone gives you double the coverage of traditional fish finders.
Easy to Install - A single transducer can be mounted on the transom, inside the hull, on the trolling motor or through a scupper hole.
Transducer Included - Bullet Skimmer transducer gives you traditional 2-D CHIRP sonar (fish arch) views.
GPS Plotter - Mark your trail, set waypoints, and mark your favorite fishing spots. No maps.

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.

Some one answer this question. My first time with a fish finder. I am hooking this up on my boat. I have been told I shouldn't turn any unit on without it being in the water cause it will burn up the transducer. Is this true. I want to learn the settings as well as put it in demo mode but I do not want to damage the unit. Thanks

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.
