Best Gt54 Settings forDownVu /Down Imaging ?!?

[@danakinscheuer]

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.

Hello. Great video. Can’t wait to try the settings! Can you share the setting you use for traditional with the gt54 please?

[@tankty6977]

Great info thank you and you answered my questions from the side scan video

[@mahimahiaddictioncesargonz5445]

Great Video Keep coming this uhd

[@markhus1403]

Thanks for doing this video. My settings are basically the same that you showed. I did follow the advice from your side view video and applied them the the down view. Can't wait to see the video on the traditional view. Keep em coming.

Excellent Video Max

[@JustLewisNoClark]

Yes thank you !! I’ve been waiting for this video.

[@mikemizur1450]

Excellent informative video!

[@comicman8724]

Bought the GT54 with garmin 73sv from bass pro for $350 off and loving it! These videos are very helpful.

[@ShoemakerOutdoors]

Can u tell me what your sonar settings for your 2D sonar are please? I'm used to Lowrance and I feel like I'm missing fish and the fish mark much smaller on my newer Garmin. I have Echomap 126SV wired directly to lithium

[@DoubleTFishing]

Perfect video!! Thanks

[@kylechristensen8009]

As always great vid! We appreciate your work!

[@kimberlywood5943]

I have a gt56 and you said to use the 810 on down image. I do not use split screen but did not know if it made any difference and should I use 1070 on down if not using split screen?

[@shanesmith8363]

Thanks for the great jump start. I just got one but waiting for the weather to warm. Around the 15' mark the water starts to clear. Is that the thermocline?

[@daynemendes5190]

Did u do a video for traditional and well great videos or is there a video you recommend

[@sheilachanceproffitt9839]

Never mind. I see your explanation of TVG

[@roadkingrider01]

German Shepherds rock!! Thanks for the bides!

Nice content bro , just jumped on Garmin after running Lowrance for a while your bids have helped me out. Tuning in from Australia 🤘👍

[@andrewcollette4971]

Great video glad I found it, any chance your planning on doing a video on lakevu map settings?

[@MGMarineTech]

What kind of settings would you like to see ?

[@andrewcollette4971]

trying to find a way to tell distance to way points like casting rings

[@MGMarineTech]

@@andrewcollette4971 ah yes! I can show that easily. Might be able to whip that video on tonight

[@elbassman416]

Great info man this helped a bunch 👍

[@kingdroz]

For some reason my Gt54 started showing wrong depth. I'm cruising at around 7 kn and suddenly my garmin starts saying i'm at depth of 2 feet and alarm starts going off. I'm probably at a depth of 200 feet. any idea why this started happening? as i got to shallower water, under 125 feet, it worked good again except 1 time when i got into really shallow water about 15 feet, then it showed about 2 feet again for a few moments. One thing to note and I don't know if it has anything to do with it is that there was TON of pollen all over the lake, i mean LOTS everywhere.

[@MGMarineTech]

most of the time when you are in water that deep and it starts flashing very shallow depths, it has lost the bottom. There is a setting in there that kind of aids the unit in telling it where the bottom might be. I believe its called "Bottom search limit" say the search limit is set to less than 200' and you are over 200' it will kind of error out and flash a much shallower depth because you are telling it that the bottom should be in less than 200'

[@cajunman7389]

Thanks for the videos. Just installed my 73sv today with all of your settings. Will get it out on the water tomorrow and see how it looks

[@timjones1878]

great video's been a big help,,thanks,keep them coming..

[@nitebyfly7325]

On my Clear vu after going to 20mph, the depth starts flashing at the last depth continously. I'm using the GT54UHD at 240kHz. Why does this happen? What can I do about it?

[@MGMarineTech]

Most likely the transducer coming out of the water and loosing bottom.

[@nitebyfly7325]

@@MGMarineTech Thanks..I look into lowering the transducer.

[@VinceTripp]

Thanks Max, more great information.

[@dougstoutner2012]

Garmin UHD93SV won't allow Side vu imaging on top when using 3 way split screen. Can this be adjusted?

[@MGMarineTech]

Sure it will, take a look at my combos video, it will show you how to edit them accordingly

[@dougstoutner2012]

Help! When running Traditional on my Garmin UHD93SV and UHD73Sv it always reverts back to 5' depth, regardless on actual depth. Any ideas?

[@MGMarineTech]

Yes, you have some type of zoom setup, Go into the zoom settings and make sure those aren’t all screwed up.

[@muddyriverman6292]

Hey friend. What would a 8-10’ alligator look like on clear-vu and side imaging? Reason I ask is I was drawn for a tag here in GA. Your thoughts?

[@MGMarineTech]

A gator that big would look just like a gator especially the shadow. Obviously it all depends how it travels through the beam.

[@muddyriverman6292]

@@MGMarineTech thank you!!

[@JESSEPAVON]

For kayak do i set the scroll speed to fast or slow? Thanks

[@MGMarineTech]

I run scroll speed auto no matter what. Unless I’m trying to do something special. Let it self adjust

[@LetsCrappieFish]

I just saw this vid about scroll speeds. Could you do a test on this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/boKUiqOfrL6mnbc. I thought it was supposed to match boat speed? I troll at 1-2 mph and have mind set to 1. He says set it to 7?

[@MGMarineTech]

The reason people will increase the scroll speed (a lot of guys run them at 10 on the 54) is to “stretch” the image. This will make fish appear bigger on the screen and in some cases be easier to see. I feel that it just distorts the picture a lot and makes everything harder to see Which is why i recommend using auto speed, as the unit will self adjust to the correct scroll speed for the speed of the boat

[@LetsCrappieFish]

@@MGMarineTech Yeah, he says it gives a more accurate reading.?

[@MGMarineTech]

@@LetsCrappieFish yeah I don’t necessarily buy that at all… I can see a use for increasing the scroll speed more than is required, but I don’t like how it looks (everything is stretched and highly distorted) But go out and play with it at a steady speed and see what you think

[@LetsCrappieFish]

@@MGMarineTech I do fine with it on 1 haha. I was just wondering about it.

[@MGMarineTech]

@@LetsCrappieFish that’s all that matters is that you are happy with the results. That’s what I’ve always seen as to why people say they run it high. Again I let the unit do the work and adjust speed as necessary. At 1-2 mph it’s probably in that 1-2 range and when you speed up scouting for a place to 3-5 it will bump it up for you and you don’t have to dig into the menus.

[@doughodson5939]

Do you have a video on traditional/2d sonar?

[@MGMarineTech]

Not as of yet, at least for settings but as a rough guideline, Gain adjust for depth - deeper requires more gain Scroll speed auto Color gain +2 to +3 Tvg depends on depth as well. Deeper =higher tvg Interference low to med

[@MGMarineTech]

Also color pallet blue works best for me

[@audiesimpson4965]

Thanks for sharing the info

[@scottscaneh]

Awesome thanks for this

[@brochacho0o351]

Hey thanks for the great videos, I’ve used and applied a lot of this info! I may be missing the video if you got it up already. But would you say these same settings apply to the gt56 for clearvu?

[@MGMarineTech]

you haven't missed it, its coming Coming soon! But !! you can use the same techniques in this video to tune in your gt56's down imagine

[@brochacho0o351]

Will this setup work on a GT52HW-TM?? Striker plus 7SV

No those are two different transducer. You can however use the principles in this video to dial in your gt52

[@salvatoregagliardi48]

When you talk about depths of water what do you consider deep and shallow?

[@MGMarineTech]

Talking about tvg?

[@salvatoregagliardi48]

@@MGMarineTech No just in general , Is deep water 60ft or 600ft and shallow water 60ft or 6ft. The harbor I fish is 26' deep at its deepest. Just try to put deep and shallow into perspective.

[@MGMarineTech]

@@salvatoregagliardi48 i fish in water that is 5-50’ at the tops. As far as these settings, 5’ will need different settings compared to 25’ compared to 50’ But as far as what I consider as shallow it’s 5-10 and deep would be 50-60 for the gt54
