How the stratos been doing? Any chance you have a video of it running in the water or a photo that shows how it sits in the water? I have the same boat and would like to compare how it sits sitting still and how the water pattern is as youre runnning through the water. Would be appreciated. Thanks!

Great video. I just bought a 16’ flat bottom boat with 20hp motor about 3 weeks ago and this fish finder came on the boat. I live in northern Illinois and have not had the boat out on the water yet so I have not had a chance to play with the fish finder. I don’t fish, I primarily magnet fish and got the boat to step up my game. How do you think this finder would do at finding cars on the bottom rivers and shallower lakes? Awesome video and channel!

And with the hook 2 do you have to update it or download new stuff on it if so how to yu do that cuz this one dosent have a place for a micro SD card
@austinrichardson4332 жыл бұрын
So can yu just leave the transducer hooked up to the battery and unplug the main cord from the fish finder and if that cords unplugged the transducer don't work right?
