How did you mount your transducer for this?

This works great on a flat bottom boat but what if the hull is a deep-V style?

what would recomend for fishing in thailand which rivers are dirty brown colour ponds or lakes are more clear water

Thanks so much for yr video it helped!! Any relation to Pauli from Fat Pizza?

Does it effect image quality??

Where do I run my Transducer cable

Awesome info, thank you !! What causes distortion lines when transducer is mounted to the trolling motor.

What size weedless hook you run in the 3" diesel please ?

good Job !!

Awesome video mate. The best I have seen yet. I am upgrading my gt56 to the gt51. Can I run both or best to just run the 51. Thanks😊

This is a good video. I put 2 transducers on my boat. One for high speed, the other (side and down imaging) for trolling. The high speed (2D only) is on the starboard side, the wide side and down on the port side of the motor. I troll with an electric up on the bow so there is no turbulence from that back at the transom. It works well and I can read the screen at over 40 mph. It really saves a LOT of time when determining where to fish. Once I find them I switch to down imaging and troll with the electric. I had 2 boats before this one that "lost the picture" at about 4 to 5 mph and it drove me nuts. I wanted to make sure I did not have that problem again. Both transduces are connected to the Humminbird through a Wye cable (sold by Humminbird).

When the boat is moving the nose is up pushing the transducer pushed down means the transducer is not level when on the move it will be to far down and cause issues there is other videos on KZbin where they take the boat out on the water with a spirit level and then angle the transducer to get the best reading. The transducer needs to go up slightly at the rear to get the best reading on the move

I don’t get the part starting at 06:48 . Bad English :/ . Can someone help me understand? Ty.

This was awesome, thanks bro!

Any tips on how to identify mullet species? QLD fisheries website says cant take diamond scale or sea mullet under 30cm but doesn't say how to tell different species apart. They are also quite often patrolling the fishing areas nearby to me

Hi Ben. This was very helpful. I followed all your guidelines but still have problems reading over 10knots. I do have a different setup though and would appreciate your thoughts. First I have twin engines so there is a potential the starboard engine turning anto clockwise is creating turbulence and pushing water up to the transducer mounted on the starboard side. Is there a potential if this and consideration transducer should not be installed on starboard side with twin engines - I have read that a better spot is between the engines Second, I have a triple stepped hull. Supposedly the step being there to get air under the boat for quick planing causes bubbles and a transom mount just won’t work on a stepped hull. Do you have any thoughts on this potential and ideas you could share. In short, with twin engines and stepped hull, can a transom mount work and if so where should it be positioned. Thanks Norman

Thank you mate.

This isn't for protecting your fish waypoints. its for disabling the unit in the event that its stolen,

The nose is the front not the back, but very clear video on setting it up. Thank you. Maybe a video on your best settings for higher speed scanning for 🐠

Hi, I'm mounted on the Starboard side, if I set the inside edge, close to outboard, at 5 mm the outside edge will be completely under water say at 15-20mm because of the steeper V hull of the boat.. Is this a problem? The transducer will have more drag from the water and I don't want to pull it off the boat?? Thanks Much!

Other wise great talk

So speaking English , how many inches is a mil ?

I need a steep mount bracket. My Allison goes 100mph. The plastic bracket can’t tolerate that speed

Love the video Ben, when using the square do I need to level the boat as it will be on the water? Thanks!

I think you just want it parallel to the water, which depending on the boat may have nothing to do with the bottom of your hull.

awesome

Is that Rosslyn bay rock wall behind ya

You can get fish finder without transducers

A s!aaa

I've got a GT51M that wont read a thing at anything above 2-3kts. I mostly chase Marlin and Tuna with Lures and all I seem to see are what look like bubble collums, even when I know im over bait schools it only shows these collums at 6-8kts. Haven't tried re-mounting with your tips though, I bought the boat like this.

mr. weston my name is jim Costi, I Have a Garmin stryker vivid 9" unit mounted at the helm. Originally the 'ducer from another unit was mounted low port side at the back of the hull it was fair read out after I xchanged to a better unit with the stryker. I was told to move the new 'ducer to the starboard and on the transom where it is currently but above 5-8 mph the monitor goes blank ( xtreme cavitation I would think ). Should I try moving it back and simply adjust the height off the hull instead of the transom ( which is set a lot higher on this tracker aluminum hull bass boat.

Ive got the gt54 & i cant even go 2mph without getting blurry picture.i literly have to turn my outboard off to get a good pic.ive moved the transducer 2 times already.starting to get alot of holes in my hull.

I'm getting a bad reading at speed. Will do what you suggest and hope it helps. Thanks

Ay that’s my local! What are the f’n odds!

Hey mate. Cheers for the video, learnt a lot. I have one question, I’m green as and just installed the lowrance fish reveal with the standard transducer that came with it on a tiny. I know it’s bottom shelf and don’t expect to get epic results but to what speed should I expect to get no interference? I start to get interference at about 6 knots, not sure if this is standard for the bottom range products? Thanks!

What height and location is "shnicko"?

Hay mate been watching your videos but what I would really like to know 100% is when using clear vu what dose the fish actually look like. Just bought Garmin uhd 95sv with GT 56 transducer

Bottom of my hull where the transducer is mounted it's flat. Quite a slant so one side of the transducer may be below the hull bottom and the other side is above it.

Tying a granny knot to stop your sinker creates a weak point in the mono 👍

thanks man, good information 👍

Pesan nya dimna ni

What Garmin GPS is that. I have just purchased the current 2021 DriveSmart 65 Car GPS with latest update in Australia which is v9.40 software and it don't have Garmin lock. I just had my older GPS stolen, so not happy this new model cant be locked.

Nice clear sentences in future, stop with the ok's! Otherwise really great info. Thanks.

Bullshit

Love your videos mate , good to find an Aussie amongst all the yanks and their bass videos. Have just purchased a boat with this exact unit and transducer. Any faster then 10 klm/hr and it won't read the bottom. Just lowered at a bit and I'll see how if goes.

Hi mate, is there a way to have speed and depth showing on my chart page? Garmin 75sv UHD. Cheers Tony

Very glib.

Great vid mate! Really informative!

mine i only can see bottom clearly ar 3 knot...above than that all i see is grain....

Ahhhhh.... It all makes sense now. I have a Regal 2500 which the previous owner installed a Garmin 742. Won't read for squat underway. I have their "Fast Trac" hull which brings air in from the side to break up resistance. The Garmin will never read correctly while underway! Thank you for the video. I now can give up. Lmao.
