43ft is the distance from the transducer in a straight line, not accounting for the depth, so they could be at 0ft depth 43ft away from the boat, or, directly under the boat at 43ft depth.

thanks helped a lot

The area under the boat that isn’t covered by the side imaging beam is very small (approximately 5 degrees to either side of vertical). The conventional down-looking sonar that is built into the side imaging transducer covers the areas below the boat and the Side Imaging Units allow you to view a split screen that will show both 2D coverage and Side Imaging sonar simultaneously.

Thank you for this! You're so right on subtracting the depth of the water? I just asked this question on another video. All the other examples were absolutely baffling and didn't make any sense to me from a mathematical standpoint. I agree with @boydlittou9446 below, the manufacturers really need to step in and explain this.

How would you fix it if your hall snapped and steering wheel spins freely, and does not turn the engine or cable

Excellent instructions, had it done in seconds

Wtf are you planning on catching? Those reels are 5 times the size of what you need. Lmao!!! A 6500 will catch anything in that lake!!!!

That makes more sense....

nicely done

You shouldnt have to subtract anything. You are correct. If that was true then you would have 2 different distances if using a different khz. Because the angle would change in water column. I think im correct lol. Maybe i have questions to. Good video. Ive always thought same as you do about this topic.

you got the plastic on upside down put the hook through the pink side

I’m guessing you have the “Offset Depth” setting turned on.

So overall, what is your opinion on the HD Pro versus your old HD Live? Do you think the Pro is better ? Worth the extra cost? What is better about it? Or Worse? Thx.

Awesome video squirrel nice catches 🥰😍🤗👋🏻👍🏻👌💯🐠🐟🎣🩵💙🤍

Great video squirrel

👍

Good video Squirrel 🐿. Do you have the pleasure of living on the lake?

Images look good ! This is what I like about Lowrance. Very easy to set up. You are going to get the groceries with this unit ! Enjoy !

Great video 👍🏻👋🏻😀🥰👌🤗💯😍

Great info my friend!

Well done squirrel, enjoy the new machine!

Great video

Squirrel 👍

I see a grammy in your future 😂

Oh my gosh becky.... did you see the size of his sonar? 😆

Is your transducer on the back on your pontoon?

Nice set up!

See you decided on the Pro 16. I went with the Live 16. Only had it a week so far. The larger size really helps and I am seeing things and fish I never saw before. So far I am very happy with it. I am looking forward to your future videos to see how yours looks. Caught 31 on Lake Oconee Friday. Caught 39 on Lake Russell a few days before that. New unit is paying off already ! I know you are going to love your new unit as well ! Keep up the good work and great instruction Squirrel !

Great video squirrel

Pristine explanation Dawson, good job sir 👊🏼..

Which jigheads are those?

Good job explaining everything. I think engineers lay awake at night studying on how they can make life miserable for folks.😂😂 Can’t wait to see the new images!

Great catch

Great video

Thanks 😊

No wonder he was so quiet the rest of the time 😂😂... Great attempt y'all. Was so great seeing you 2..

Ohhh Nooooo

That hurts !

Dang lost begun

More confused now than I was before. 😂

Range - water column = distance from boat. Pause the screen, look at the depth, go to the top of screen and water column is the same depth, so if you see crappie in water column they are under the boat. They show up on 2D the same time they show up in water column, 2D is under the boat a cone 1/3 the depth.

Split your screen, side and 2D. 20 feet of water……20 degree cone, 6.6 ft cone. Go over a bush shown on your 2D, with your logic, the bush will not show up on the bottom of side scan.

Go to 50 ft. water and scan 40 feet left and right…….explain?

Good job buddy!!

any update?

The image is from SI and DI combined. If you run exactly over something, you will see it on both sides of SI. Bait fish is directly under your boat. czcams.com/video/Oc9jSTpAyWc/video.htmlsi=74G45jD5OuveYi4r&t=376 That is why they are on both sides of SI. So your video is true only for part of the water column which is not covered by DI beam. If you want to measure horizontal distance to them, you need to subtract their depth from that number to get the correct distance.

How about finding a big rock underwater with traditional sonar and waypointing it. Then pregressively drive your boat parallel to it at incremental or decreasing distances from it with side scan until it just shows up right at the interface between the dark area and light area? That will help you ‘calibrate’ your mental image of what is going on I think??!!

Good video, nice job explaining what things were on the screen!

I was wondering if there was any fish in that lake. I've fished a few times caught some small blue Gill in the bass i guess i need a Kayak

Outstanding video. Short and to the point, especially for us folks that didn't happen to look at the tag on the pins of the new helm we're installing.
