Screen Shot Break Down Pt. 1 - Side Imaging - What am I looking at?!?

I am Starting a new series on the channel that i think will be very helpful to new users that may not understand how to read their electronics.
This series will give you examples of what items look like on different types of sonar.
Today we will be diving into a full screen side imaging picture with lots to look at . Trees, Rocks, Sand, Fish!

Great series. I have struggled finding fish with side imaging for a while.

[@jimimac57]

Glad to have someone like you that is so willing to give your time to explain these things. Up until now I had know idea of half the stuff I was looking at. Thanks for your time. Good video. Look forward to the next one.

[@fishhead680]

Thanks Max, great job - again! Definitely the easiest instructor for me to understand. Very much appreciated and always look forward to you videos.

[@user-bc3xn3vw4d]

Great Video & detailed explanations of the various parts of the side image structures. Your quick basic review before getting into the details was a perfect setup for the information that followed. Looking forward to the next video(s). Thanks

[@carriere616]

Very informative breakdown of what is actually on side imaging. Looking forward to more videos like this in the series. Spot on Garmin instructions.

[@123balsa]

I have Garmin units and I’m glad I follow you on KZbin. Your videos are very informative and have helped more than than you will ever know. Keep them coming.

[@bidkid2020]

You're really doing a fantastic job the videos explaining some very good details we greatly appreciate any more information like this thanks

[@DoubleTFishing]

Great breakdown of side imaging, this video really shows how great the images are on the Ultra series. Looking forward to watching the rest of the video series.

[@MGMarineTech]

Thank you!

[@walterdowns9012]

These videos are the best to understand what we're looking at please keep it up the more of these you do the better we will become at understanding what is on the screen. Thank you very much for all your videos they are awesome.

[@ronnilsen4079]

Appreciate all your videos and such good explanation. Thank you

[@azzaelko2228]

Awesome vid mate. Keep them coming. I find that when I am on the water i confuse myself with what I am reading on the screen. And this video just helped me confirm that “yes that is a fish, rock and tree”. Look forward to the next vid

[@Natec_photo]

Super helpful video! This is a cool series!

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

Awesome job Max, can’t wait for next one, love this breakdown!!!

[@MGMarineTech]

Thank you! I think it’s a good way for people to learn!

[@Trayman26]

Very helpful and a very good job of breaking down that image.

[@michaelbutler4961]

Being a newbie to all this I want to say I'm learning a lot and look forward to future videos.

[@audiesimpson4965]

Great info on SV and thanks for sharing.

[@danlong9757]

Thank you so much. I got the 93sv UHD with GT54 going to install this weekend. Can't wait to test it out.

[@madgar7443]

Great video max🎣

[@bidkid2020]

Vantastic content keep them coming thanks

[@smhenare]

Great video, I'm getting use to my echomap 105, its great for searching for fish

[@alnewell31]

Going to pick up my 95 today 😀 great video’s thanks

[@alexandrosfrangoulis]

Great content.

[@westleycagle4745]

Awesome video

[@randymcdowell2933]

Thanks for the break down on side image. I’ve been working hard to figure it out but struggling to see what I’m looking at.Looking forward to more videos. Thank you

[@MGMarineTech]

Thanks Randy! Hopefully this series will help you. I plan to do a much more in depth side imaging video in the future that breaks down every aspect of side imaging

[@kellymoore4517]

Good stuff bud.

[@casey2562]

Shadow distance. Good stuff

[@joeys7519]

Max you the man

[@beanschmidt9699]

Awesome

[@getaLunker]

정말 좋은 정보입니다~~~👍

[@NAUTILYFE]

this was a fantastic breakdown and detail on the exact transducer we are looking at. One small tip maybe use a blue or green color to circle. red was fine but a couple times was lost in the background. appreciate this content, though well done! subscribed!

[@MGMarineTech]

Will do thank you!

[@herbabel9763]

Thanks much. Looking forward eagerly to see your follow-up videos. This one is very informative. Only suggestion for improvement for your consideration I have is to also show some screen shots using the old GT54 to target those thousands??? of us who just bought the 93 and 106 units with that older generation ducer. BTW thanks for the videos you've posted having shots of the 54 and 56 compared!

[@MGMarineTech]

I can do that! I have some gt54 pics coming up!

[@FishinNStuff]

Hey buddy I've been on KZbin making videos a long time and I enjoy watching your . You do a really good job explaining thing . I see good things in the future for ya . I don't see many small channels that I just really like right away

[@MGMarineTech]

I’ll have to check out your channel thank you for the awesome comment that means a lot to a little guy like myself!

[@FishinNStuff]

@@MGMarineTech that wasn't what I was after I promise. But I know how hard getting started on here is and I wanted to to let you know to keep going cause your doing great . All I know is I like your content . Your doing way better than I did after only a year . Keep it up buddy

[@MGMarineTech]

@@FishinNStuff no worries I didn’t take it that way at all! I really do appreciate the comment and support!

[@FishinNStuff]

@@MGMarineTech you sold me with the show down video . I've been trying to decide on 2 ultra 102sv or 1 22sv on my console and your video was very informative and I like that

[@kirtwillis2846]

Nice video, what was the orange and yellow color representing ?

[@joemartin6439]

Great

[@alnewell31]

Quick question, the unit I’m getting has the 54 transducer, my thinking is I don’t go deeper than 40 ft so the benefits of the 56 aren’t that important for me to spend a third the price more . Do you agree ? Thanks AL

[@kirtwillis2846]

Good video, What was the orange and yellow colors representing?

[@MGMarineTech]

You will have to forgive me, I am colorblind, so certain shades of colors mix together for me. Are you referring to lighter and darker shades? If you would like. Contact me on my Facebook page and we can look at the pic together and I can better answer your question

[@peterlong9629]

Max, if you decreased the range, say down to 40ft, would you be able to see that tree on the right with a GT54? Is there more detail with shorter ranges?

[@MGMarineTech]

Hi Peter. When you decrease the range you will make things/objects bigger on the screen which can make them easier to see. As far as that tree, with the gt54 I was able to scan 60-70’ tops so it should easily pick it up.

[@smalltownbassfishin1247]

Great video! I'm still learning how to read side imaging. I sent you a message and would love for you to break down my screen shot

[@danlong9757]

Thank you for your videos.. Hope you can help me answer a few questions. I got a 93 UHD with GT54. I fish in water less than 50 fts deep. Most of the time in the 35 fts. Should I upgrade to gt56? Thank you.

[@MGMarineTech]

Hey Dan, have you watched my videos comparing the two?

[@danlong9757]

@@MGMarineTech just watched. Thank you for the information. GT56 is the one :D

[@MGMarineTech]

@@danlong9757 yes the gt56 can see a lot more!!

[@garytravis3781]

Can you switch the left and right view on side imaging on a 106sv ultra with a GT56 transducer I’ve mounted on trolling motor

[@MGMarineTech]

Yes there is a setting in there for that I’m 99.9% sure of. I think it’s under “installation???” But I don’t have a unit in front of me at the moment. May I ask why you want to do this?

[@garytravis3781]

@@MGMarineTech I put a GT 56 on my transom and one on my trolling motor and the one on the trolling motor the rounded end is going forward and the one on the transom is pointed to the rear haven’t got everything installed to get on the water to see which one is headed in the right direction for factory settings

[@MGMarineTech]

@@garytravis3781 the rounded nose goes in the direction of travel. I would recommend that you install it that way especially on the transom

[@garytravis3781]

@@MGMarineTech that’s the way it is on the trolling motor but you can just mount it one way on the transom with the wire end coming out will be next to the boat and the rounded end pointed backwards I’ll look at the bracket and see if it can be turned around.

[@garytravis3781]

@@MGMarineTech I was wrong I went out and looked at it and the rounded end is going forward I was thinking of my old lowrance transducer thanks for the reply.

You have a huge different sonor

This is money!

[@daveroberts7295]

How do I send you a screen shot? Cod fish east coast Canada.

[@MGMarineTech]

Email is easiest [e-mail]

[@jones10121970]

Very good video-it is not realistic for me to see tiny dots and shadows while outside driving around. My eyes aren't that good and the glare and movement of the boat are too much for me to contend with.
