Garmin Marine Webinars: GPSMAP Series Traditional Sonar Features - Part 2

[@briankeevan8134]

Hello, how do I speed up the sounder scroll speed on my Garmin 8612’s? I’m usually fishing in 120’ of water, & the target structure will still be slowly scrolling across the screen sometimes several minutes after I’ve passed over it. Any help would be be greatly appreciated.👍🏻

I have Garmin 585 and Aquamap 80xs. Is there any video explain how to obtain the depth data from Aquamap 80xs? I have success for 585.

I have a 943 xsv with a Airmar 1kw thru hull ducer that loses bottom once I'm offshore in 1000+ft. How do I limit my sonar return to just the upper 500ft of the water column? I am trying to target Bluefin, yellowfin, yellowtail and dorado

Hi. There is a grounding screw on the back of the GPSMAP 8410 xsv. It is recommended to run a wire from the screw to the engine anode on the transom. What is your opinion on the matter . Thank you.

Hi George, thanks for your question. Yes, that is a recommendation, and we support that recommendation. -MR

Hi i cant find answer anywhere, does bottom lock flatten seafloor removing appearance of waves? i fish in ocean in western australia. i should add my unit is on order hence the question

[@GarminInt]

Good evening Pat, Bottom lock only locks the screen to follow the contour of the bottom. It doesn't flatten the seafloor. -MR

Excellent overview of the settings. Can you guys put something together on customizations for different situations as pre-sets? ie. bottom-fishing setup, cruising setup with 2 transducers, contour fishing etc. I see a couple of presets from the factory but don't know *why* various settings would be used in diff situations.

How do I change my 7sv to metric.

[@salvatoregagliardi48]

Do you have a side scan settings video for the 126SV Ultra?

[@GarminInt]

Hi there! We don't have a video on that one. There may be another KZbin channel with that video. We'd love to get your video ideas to our innovators! Please share your ideas through this portal: www.garmin.com/ideas Thanks! -MR

[@kimpline]

this was very helpfull but i still dont know how to identify, mud/sand/rock...could someone please help me ?

[@GarminInt]

Hi Mehmet, Harder targets are going to show the strongest returns in the red color. The thicker the red return, usually the harder the bottom is. If you'd like to discuss this in further detail, our marine support team is available at the following link: bit.ly/GarminContact-US Thank you -MR

You know, you people really have to spend $100 and sound much better, your voice is grating.
