I have had one of these Hook 7, with the factory transducer for 12 months. I have a problem where the transduce stops registering a signal (knots and terrain etc once we exceed about 10 knots. The, once we stop the boat it takes ages, like 5 minutes to start reading anything at all. It's very frustrating, any ideas?

[@alexmoore1102]

Here's something I think would be an AWESOME addition to your fish finders that have maps/charts, because I don't think you can do this, and they only show you a lake or place, where your boat is - and if I am mistaken, I apologize. So here it is: Suppose you're at home, and you're planning a fishing trip, to a given lake. Wouldn't it be cool, if you could go out in your boat, and fire up your fish finder and had an option to "review water body", where you could enter a body of water into the fish finder, and it would bring that body of water's map up on the screen, so you could look over the depths, structure, lake shape etc., and better plan your fishing trip? Anyway - just an idea.

I have the hook reveal 5 s which has 6 frequencies, 200, 83, 50 and high, med, and low chirp. Can you tell me the cone angle for each frequency? Thank you.

Can you load the maps you have created on the SD card to your computer? I went to the Genesis site and followed their instructions to download what I need to upload the maps. The maps are now there on the site but if I click on them to open them up, all I see it the area of the lake that I mapped and where I traveled. It does not show any of the lake contours, so basically useless. I contacted customer support, and they were worthless. You are talking to someone across the globe who is reading from a manual trying to figure out what you even want to do. When they e-mailed me, their response was 4 - 6 weeks later. Their last response said that I needed a "third party" software but have no idea what that might be. It would be nice to view these maps when you are off the water. Anyone have any info about this?

Good webinar but I still don’t understand the size of the bottom area I am actually seeing. Granted it varies by depth, but isn’t the beam angle fixed at a specific degrees? What is the angle on a hook reveal 5 splitshot?

Does the depth finder stop working, or do you just lose the bottom? In the second case, you will need to check your transducer location and move it accordingly.

[@oakironoutdoors2436]

I read somewhere that the tripleshot sonar cone is wider than the splitshot cone. And that the splitshot is a bit better in clarity for deeper water in regards to separation targets due to it's slightly narrower cone. Is this true?

[@svolatys]

That is true. On hook2 2d aka traditional sonar was the weakest part on all transducers and in hook reveal series 2d transducer 83/200 was updated (now the same as with higher level lowrance units). Also 50/200 for deeper waters (bigger ceramic emmiter and more narrow cone than in 83/200) was introduced into hook series. Tripleshot remains unchanged. So for traditional sonar splitshot will work better than tripleshot. Quite good article here: teamcolibri.blogspot.com/2020/03/lowrance-hook-2-versus-lowrance-hook.html

@Lowrance if i buy a triple shot hook reveal unit can i later add a hdi 50/200 transducer and just switch between them for fresh or salt water? A TS unit will be able to run both but a SS unit cannot run a TS transducer if i understand this correctly? Thanks

[@lowrance]

That is correct, you can use a 50/200kHz with a TS head unit, but you cannot use a TS transducer on a HDI head unit model. That is because the SS head unit does not have sidescan capabilities.

I have returned 2 of these Hook 7 Reveal. The units would not turn on, even though wiring was correct and 12.35V were being supplied thru the power cable to the unit. This was checked with a voltage meter. Talked to customer service & technical support, ran thru testing unit buttons attempting a reset of the unit. It still would not turn on. BTW: both customer service and tech reps are located in Manila Phillippines!! Both had very little knowledge and it felt I was educating THEM on voltage supply, requirements and wiring.

Can I use the tripleshot on hook reveal 5 ? Or only accept 50/200 ?

[@lowrance]

If you have a Hook Reveal 5" SS then you cannot use the tripleshot transducer, as your unit does not have sidescan capabilities.

So if I am understanding this correctly, the hook reveal 5 ,7 and 9 series (shown here) will accept a standard mapping Louisiana card? “X” series you cannot use a 3rd party mapping program. Thanks

Is it waterproof??? If you have it on a kayak and get flipped and it is dunked for one minute or less; will it kill it???

[@lowrance]

Rod- Our Hook Reveal unit has an IPX 7 rating if the card door is closed. This means that the unit is waterproof when submersed in water at a depth of one meter, for 30 minutes. So if your kayak flips over and the card door is closed, then the unit will be fine.

Can I use my triple shot transducer with this unit head

[@lowrance]

You can use the TS transducer with the head unit. However, if the head unit is a SplitShot, then you will not get the sidescan feature on it.

[@gillianhibbert6579]

*This is significant **allabout.wiki/fd12?..**. When scrolling around the sonar screen or chart, setting waypoints, etc touch input is much smoother and quicker. On the Hook unit you have to use the arrow keys and buttons to do everything, which is slower, more confusing, and tedious. Imagine using your smart phone with no touch screen but with arrow keys and buttons instead and you get the idea. Touch input reduces frustration on the water.*

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-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.
