Garmin 93SV UHD (Crappie setting's) UNBELIEVABLE RESULTS!!

Just got that same unit last Thursday ($699 at BPS Little Rock), for my fishing kayak. Haven't used it yet (rain and wind the last couple of days), but WILL get it out on the water this weekend. Thanks so much for showing us how to search for Crappie (and other fish), and I'll be waiting for more updates from you. (Heck, maybe I'll see ya out on the lake sometime!).

Wonder why that specific one has been on sale recently…it’s been on sale like all year

[@Paulcatchesemall]

Garmin has huge sales all the time and you can’t beat those prices. I think that price is just a sweet spot where everyone can afford it I imagine.

[@dukeduke3599]

@@Paulcatchesemall I do agree that it’s perfectly affordable for everyone, especially being a 9 inch screen. I just think it’s kinda weird/suspicious that only the 9 inch version is on sale most of the time being roughly $250 off original…I came here for a review on the product cause it was on sale and then I seen M.Smith comment about the price and that got me wondering..

[@1966Marshall1]

Thanks for going over the settings. I just bought one and this technology is new to me. My old one is about 18 yrs old. I went out yesterday just to practice and I went under a bridge at about 3 to 4 mph and I was still seeing the columns about 150 feet past the bridge. It frustrated me because it it was fish I wouldn’t know where they were or where to fish. My guess is that my speed setting was way off. I do have a question. How far behind the boat does the transducer usually pick up? I need to know where to place my marker. What time of the year was this video taken? Great video by the way. Thanks

[@Paulcatchesemall]

It dosent exactly scan behind the boat, there’s just a cone in scans beneath the boat. You can adjust the cone in settings. Tbh I don’t mess with that all that much. Your scroll speed is what can really mess with you. The higher your scroll speed the more accurate of what your seeing on your screen is directly beneath your boat. With a slower speed you will be seeing what’s behind you which can get frustrating. Best way to mess with your settings is to drive by a object that you can see and as you pass it you can see it on your graph. Then you can adjust your speed so you when your directly over a brush pile or stump or whatever structure you’ll know when to throw a marker. At least that’s what I did and it worked out well. Hope this helps.

[@1966Marshall1]

Thank you! That is a good idea to find an object and go by it to set the speed. It’s all new technology to me but sure hope I can find some crappie before spring using it. Thanks again for the video

Fredo! Thanks man, I love this Garmin and it’s treated me great. I’m glad you were able to take a few things from this video. Hope all is well with you and the family bud. Thanks for the support 🎣😎

[@LetsCrappieFish]

Paul, good day buddy. Could you maybe make a small clip of you actually dropping buoy on brush with that scroll speed? I'm asking because I have the same unit and troll around 1 mph. I was told to set it to scroll speed 2. When side scanning, I am moving about 2.65 mph and I set scroll speed to 8. 8 I know is pretty accurate. However, back to DI. When I mark a pile, if my scroll speed is set too high, I'm dropping too early and I'm off by like 10 ft. Thoughts? And thanks. God bless. I haven't been able to make any videos due to on Nov 11th, I had open heart surgery.

[@C.Fowler]

Paul, do you have any idea what causes the picture to be grainy? Like if I zoom in even a little, I can’t make anything out. Your picture is so dang clear. I’m thinking it has to be the transducer..

[@Paulcatchesemall]

Could be a few things, getting the gain/sensitivity tuned in right is a big one. Also your lake clarity. The lakes I fish are extremely clean and I believe this video was made in early spring. So there was no leaves/debris in the water. Another thing is speed. I usually and moving around 2.5-4 mph when I’m scanning. Anything over that is too much. And yes the grainy picture could be from how you have it hooked up to a power source. I have a dedicated lithium battery I use for my graphs. But at this time it was hooked up to my cranking battery. Best of luck Craig 🎣😎

[@jdoboy6835]

Hi paul,,,,, Very informative, Thanks. Is there any easy, safe way to fire up my 93SV at home? My boat, bracket & harness is up Erie, My Garmin unit is here. Geezz I wish that the + - Battery pole 'PINS' weren't so darn small, & close together!?? FYI,,, Just a warning to other GARMIN newbies,,,, I found out, that At my Erie campground, there's 4-5 other guys with Garmin 93SV units on their boats,, & every one of them had problems with the screen going black while out on the water! I had a 3-day family walleye outing that was ruined by not being able to see the screen. The 93 fired up properly, at the dock. The first page was easily able to see, as usual,,, the 'Looking for maps' page, & then the 'I AGREE' page. After that, the whole screen went black to the point that I wasn't able to see anything except very dark lines,,,, even when I shaded the screen. I Called Garmin tec, waited 3 HOURS for callback, & tec said that I needed to switch the AUTOMATIC contrast controls to 'MANUAL' mode settings! Turns out, that there is some kind of 'GLITCH' going on, between the electric eye & the units brain!! Bright sunny day, & the unit THINKS it's dark outside! ON MANUAL setting, NOW everything is working just fine,,,, I sure hope it lasts! I'll use all of your advice, to get this side vision tuned in properly,,,,, Then I'll go get some of those ERIE monster, hump-backed slabs! THANKS again!

[@MrSki-tyvm]

So are you going to use the new UHD2? And how about the new gt56 transducer? I'm personally disgusted with the cheap hummingbird unit that came on my boat console. I plan on using it only as a navigation map.

Look like you're enjoying using your unit... It definitely assist in get'n on crappie.....

[@denttech8447]

I just bought a echomap 73sv,I haven't even got to use it yet but the settings should be the same just a little smaller. I also have a Striker 7sv.

[@Paulcatchesemall]

Yea besides the size of the screen all should be the same. 🎣😎

[@russalcamo2488]

Greetings, I’m confused with side view. If it’s set at say 50’ on right is That the view 50’ from boat as I pass the area or is it underneath the boat? I understand clear view being just below. Noticed you only have depth finder only at console as do I. However, I’m not catching much from my boat. Can you clarify. Ty

[@Paulcatchesemall]

Ok, so the way it works. If you are in 20’ of water and you have it set on 50’ you are only scanning 30’ to the side. The other 20 account for the depth. So whatever the depth is your at you and minus that off your scanning. Hope this helps. In my mind it sounds better than how I typed it 😂.

[@thecrappiecontrol6644]

Great video. Is there way to a reduce the transducer feedback beam?

[@Paulcatchesemall]

If you go into setting you can turn your TVG settings to High and that should clear up some of it. I had that when I first bought mine and I had my Garmin hard wired into the boat. I went and purchased a cable and ran the power directly to the battery and that fixed it. Hope this helps with your question. Best of luck.

[@davidfuller4984]

[@donwilliams3078]

I just bought the 93 for a new boat (new for me) I'll pick up in April. I have a Garmin 53 on my current boat. I noticed it looked like you had the 93 on a Ram mount drilled into the inside gunnel of your boat. Is my comment correct? I may be lacking mounting space between the windscreen and the dash. Can you please elaborate on how you mounted?

[@Paulcatchesemall]

Not exactly, the ram mount is mounted to the boat itself, not the gunnel. It’s right next to the cup holder. Just used metal screws. Never had an issue whatsoever.

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

[@Paulcatchesemall]

Clear up as there’s a lot of interference on the screen? Sometimes it has to do with water conditions. But I have seen issues depending on where the power is hooked up will cause interference. Mine use to have a little interference when I had it hooked up to my cranking battery. Now I have a dedicated lithium battery that I run my graph off of and I haven’t had any issues. Also how fast are you moving? If you have side imaging or 2D or down imaging and your going over I’d say 5-8 mph the screens gonna start getting grainy with all the bubbles from the prop. Sonar works great through water but once it hits them bubbles it’s gets pretty rough. I usually am scanning at speeds anywhere between 3-5 mph for the most part.

[@jason6325]

@@Paulcatchesemall yes sir.i have mine hooked to a mighty max 15 ah battery all by itself. I honestly thinki have it to far over. It's 4" away from the outside edge.
