One thing you need to know. The depth of water is subtracted from the range out setting. Using your screen for example, you are sitting in 28ft of water with a range setting of 70ft. So objects at the edge of your screen are not 70ft away from your boat, they are 42ft away from your boat. If you were in 5ft of water the objects at the edge of your screen would be 65ft with those settings. Hope this helps, tight lines..!
I think this is actually an incorrect explanation. I was thinking the same, but what we have to realise - fishfinder just measures distance to the object and not the surface distance. Ex - if depth is 28ft, then objects appearing 30ft away on screen are actually 30ft away (28ft down + ~2ft left or right).
Good point. I rarely use SideVu to actually cast to something from SideVu. I will usually use SideVu to find objects, then mark them with a waypoint, then go to the waypoint (object) using a split screen of my Navigation and DownVu. This finds the object 100% of the time, and I don't have to worry about whether the feet to it is completely accurate or not.
Great I’ve had mine for this is going to be the third season and I basically use it as a depth sounder because it’s for me too complicated but this video helped immensely I didn’t know about the depth shading I will go out in the yard and tend to that right now thank you❤️🔥🇺🇸
Thanks for identifying some quick items that will help me get my kayak out on the water with a useful echo map.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much. I have a 95 sv on my kayak and another on the front deck of my bass boat. I love them and use them a lot but learned a couple new thing from this video. Simple yet informative. Just subscribed
Thanks for watching!
Great video! I just purchased a 73sv and thanks to your video I got the quick rundown I needed. Saved me a lot of trial and error, allowing me to simply go use it and catch fish. Thanks for putting this video out there. Tight lines
Thanks for watching. I’ll have to check out your channel as well.
@@InstinctBassin I may make a how to install the 73sv on a kayak video, since that’s where I’ll be installing mine. If I do I’ll give this video a shout out for a rundown. 👊
This is fantastic. I’m picking up my new Crestliner XF 189 this week and it has the 73 up front and the 93 in the console. I’m saving this video so I can use your tips for setting them up. Also I’m subscribing as a thank you!
Great video, I haven’t had the chance to use my 93sv yet but I wanted to know what to expect. Very informative and straight to the point. You gained a subscriber!
Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Great video, definitely helpful tips…. I’m a Lawrence guy, are was. I just bought my Garment and I haven’t been out on the lake but I’m already in love with this unit. Thank you for posting.
Thanks so much very helpful I just got my two 9" units for Father's day im excited about learning how to catch bass offshore and by livescope
This video was a big part of narrowing down between this and a couple of other units thanks for the great videos man
Thanks for watching
These graphs are second to none. I bought my first one last year. Saved up 4 months to buy it. Almost bought the striker series. Glad i kept saving and bought the echomap. Good video to get guys started.
Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Thank you for the info. I’ve had my 73sv for a couple weeks but because of rain and work, I haven’t had a chance to setup/use yet. I fish a lot of Northern California reservoirs that aren’t mapped. Can’t wait to try out the mapping feature!! Happy holidays!
The contour feature works great, but you will need to insert a blank SD card in the slot for it to record to. Anything 32GB or smaller should work.
Hi Paul, we’re you able to try it out yet?
I learn more from this one video about my Garmin that I've ever knew. Thank you for all the information.
Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video. Just received a 93sv for Christmas. This will be a big help.
Thanks for watching
Very informative. Just bought two of these units for $699 / unit at bass pro. Can’t wait to try them out!!
Thanks for watching!
Great run through and tips. Thanks!
Cabelas has some good sales now, spring 2022 and I am looking for a good side scan unit. Charts will be helpful also.
Thanks for watching. I just did another longer video on these units as well, so be sure to check it out.
Great video. Picked up a 73SV today. Good to see the Harris chain maps as that's what i'm on.
Nice 👍 let me know if you want to hit up the stick marsh, as I do some guiding there for much cheaper than others.
Your videos are so informative!!! Happy New Year!!!
And Happy New Year to you too!
Thanks for the very informative tutorial!!!👊🏻 Bought 73SV for my new boat and will be getting out and doing these tips on the units!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
Thanks for watching!
How do you like the 73sv? I'm thinking about getting one.

oh but yes I enjoyed this video. Just got mine this weekend Garmin 93SV and ready to learn this helped me out a lot....
Thanks for watching
Thanks for this awesome startup guide!
Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
I must admit: despite the fact that I am a "humminbird" man, this video was one of the most logical , clear, straightforward explanations I have ever seen! You are to be highly commended for your superior teaching style......
Thanks!
@@InstinctBassin the one thing missing in the Garmin arsenal that is very important to me, is that I can turn off Contour mode in side view with Humminbird....I fish in a rowboat on large impoundments where the major off shore cover is flooded stone wall boundaries that existed on the farmland before the reservoir was formed...with contour mode off, it is much easier to follow along these walls....
Thanks man! Super helpful!
Most helpful tutorial I've found!!! Thank you

Awesome explanation 😊
Thanks for the video.. im looking to buy the 93sv
You’re welcome. You won’t be disappointed. The only other advice I’d give is that you may be able to find the 106sv on sale still. If so, then that would be the way to go.
thanks very helpful,thats was very good info :)

Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Yes I did just get the 93sv so this helps a lot. I noticed autopilot on your home screen! Is that what will control my trolling motor in a route?
I believe autopilot is actually for when you have the unit hooked up to a NEMA network on your boat. Not something you would normally do on a bass boat. That said, it isn’t a function I’ve ever used, so definitely check out the manual for that one. Thanks again for watching.
Great video!
Thanks for watching
Great job. I also like it if you could a video on hooking up a 73 and a 93 together. Again Thanks
Will look at doing one of those. But all you need to do is get one of these: amzn.to/3J1x6sX
Plug it into the Panoptix port on the back of both units, and you’re done.
Awesome, thanks...I just bought a 73sv
Thanks for watching!
@@InstinctBassin love the tips for use of the 73sv or 93sv...will make it easier to ise when I get mine
Hello Sir, I'm a new subscriber to your channel, your video series about the Garmin 93SV are very informative. I have learned a lot about how to use it. I just purchased the 93SV and can't wait for a change in temperature so I can get it switched out form my current unit. I'm coming from a SIMRAD GO9 XSE. I'm looking forward to springtime, so I can get out and give the Garmin a go... I mainly fish Lake St Clair for Bass and Musky, I hope this unit and your helpful tips, help me to locate fish better... Tight Lines!!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you !
Hello…I really enjoyed this video plus your follow up on 5 more things to do! I have a 73sv and looking at a lot of how to videos to help my learning curve. I do have 2 quick questions. You mentioned that you were not out on your boat when doing the videos so you used simulation mode using the predefined maps, not actual live recorded data. That interests me a lot since we don’t have enough room to keep our boat home and I was wondering what setup you use. My mounting connections are all on my boat where we store it, but I bring the trolling motor battery home to recharge it, so I was wondering (1) how do you enter simulation mode and (2) do you have another set of cables that run from your 73SV device to your battery to power it? I have the full East coast maps that include 17,000 lakes and rivers and I’d like to review these at home for ideas on where to boat/fish. Thanks for any suggestions…
Hi my latest video talks about how to enter simulator mode and what to do if you can’t find it, so check that out. I also did an “on the water” video where I go over my personal setup. Check those videos out and hopefully they should answer your questions. Thanks for watching.
Nice video. Subbed.
Thanks!
I took the plunge and bought the 126SV today. I need to find someone who can install it correctly. I can use my existing heavy duty RAM mount. I am not good with wiring so I will look for someone to do it. Thanks for the advice. If you are ever on the west coast near Homosassa give me a shout.
Good afternoon!! I was doing some research last night and I think I am going to go with the 106SV and the 93SV for the bow. The way the dash is configured on my Bass Cat Pantera ll I don't think the 126 will fit. I would have to remove the windshield. Going to Bass Pro on Wednesday and pick them up. .
Sounds good 👍 glad you got it figured out. Be sure to network them together for best results.
My sonar connector on my cradle has damaged missing pins and cannot show fish finder
Can I just replace that orange female part
Brightness an Gain are different i do believe.. thanks for the video
Thanks! They are the same thing on Garmin units. www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/echomapplus/EN-US/GUID-21718E6E-FF8B-46E0-AF00-7EA20C6B6902.html
Specifically, traditional transducers use gain, whereas Garmin ClearVu transducers use brightness. This is from the manual, page 23, Adjusting the Level of Detail.
Best video I have seen.
Thanks!
Man great Video! Just got my boat that came with a 73sv and I can't wait to get out to the unit and set it up with some of these changes. What mode were you in to be able to do that in your garage again please?
I had the unit in simulator mode. It can be accessed through the system menu. Just be sure to turn simulator off before you go to the water. Thanks for watching.
Hey great video. I'm in the market and you've help my decision , the 73sv uhd for console 93sv upfront. Hoping you could give a suggestion about which transducer to get
Either the GT56 or 54 will work great. I have the 54 on both of mine.
How does garmin 73sv indcate if i am to close to rocks or hidden dangers under water.
Your videos have been very helpful.
I am a new boat owner.
Eugene Howell
This can be done by setting a shallow water alarm.
ThankS
Great video and really helpful information. I just got a 2022 Avalon pontoon with the Garmin system, not sure the model in the video but similar to your video based on layout of controls and screens. I use the navigation chart almost exclusively as we just cruise and pull the inner tube. I would like to have depth and water temp on the navigation screen but for the life of me haven't been able to find out if that is possible to add. I typically use the combo screens but that makes my navigation screen so small its hard to read. Please let me know if there is anyway to add the depth and temp to navigation screen.
Thanks,
Thanks for watching. Depending on the unit you have, start from the navigation chart. Then menu, then overlay data (or similar). Be sure it’s turned on. The 7x and 9x models will have a small green mark on the left side of the “button” when they are on. Then go back to the map and they should be there. Hope it helps!
@@InstinctBassin Thanks for the quick response, will try the next time i'm out
@@timbrown9754 you can also try it with the unit in simulator mode.
So this is my first boat and my first fish finder/chart plotter. I have the UHd 106sv. My problem is, I dunno wth I’m looking at. I have the transducer mounted on the left rear toon on my pontoon. On the screen is it showing behind me as if I need to fish like I’m trolling? Should I move it to mount on my trolling motor?
On a pontoon, I’d leave it where you have it. But yes, all fishfinders, besides Forward Facing Sonar, show what is directly behind and under the boat. Check out Fish The Moments channel for some great tutorials on how to read sonar…aside from what I have here of course.
rob can I run my fish finder in my garage to set up or make changes with out hurting my transducer while in simulated mood.thank. love all of your video I have lean a lot
Yep, I do it all the time. You can also just disable the transducer and still make all of your other changes. Just hit the power button once, then “disable all sonar.” That way you’ll know it’s not hurting anything.
thanks rob I do appreciate it.
Great video. Learned a lot. Just got a 74SV, loaded with coastal maps of course. I am familiar with my local lakes in N. GA and not so much around the coast of Fla where I plan to go this summer. Any issues with getting a Lake Vu card and slipping it in for the lakes? Thanks much.
Nope no issues at all. Should work great.
QUESTION :
If I do all this adjusting with the thing set on DEMO because the boat is not in the water, will it save and use the changes when set to normal?
It depends on which settings you are changing. For instance, if you change the depth shading ranges and colors, or the sonar colors, it should save those. I made most of my changes and saves on the water though.
Just ordered a 73SV for my boat, great video man. Appreciate the tips, excited to get it setup. Did you use the swivel mount that came with it by chance? If so how is it?
I did use the swivel mount, and it works well. It just seems a little flimsy, but I haven’t had any issues with it at all. If I had to do it again, I would probably use a Panther mount, or some other that fits over the top of the trolling motor.
@@InstinctBassin I appreciate that. I was debating on just using it or ordering a RAM ball mount for it. I'll give it a shot and see what happens. Just going on the console of my little pro 17 bass tracker. Probably order another or the 93SV later to go up front... Soon as my wife forgets that I just bought one lol.
Does this unit use one type transducer or do you need a different one for you trolling motor
If it’s going on the trolling motor, the GT54 will fit better since it’s shorter. The GT56 may be too long for some trolling motors, depending on where the skeg is. But either will technically work.
I have a 93sv on both my bow and Console. How do I get those corner squares reading on my chart setting? Thanks your videos are great and appreciated.
I’m going off memory here as I’m away from my boat. But from the chart, go to menu, then overlays and tap overlays so there is a small green box to the left. This shows that they are on. Then you can go back to the chart and hold one down to change it.
@@InstinctBassin I'll try tomorrow. Thanks so much.
I have a 73 sv & a 93 sv w/o panoptic. I was wonder what happens when those are hooked up, which Transducer is going to operate or are they kept separated by each unit. Hope I worded this right.
Assuming you have one at the front of the boat and one at the console, they would each use their own transducer. If you have 2 right next to each other, say both at the console, then you could just use 1 transducer.
@@InstinctBassin Your right, I have one at the bow & One at the console. I'll be connecting them with a Rj45 20 ft. cord. Thanks so much have fun on the water.
Please use the link in the description! 😊
Listen.....at 3am ....on the east coast- there is NOTHING better than one of these to ease your mind in the pitch black... ESPECIALLY if the weathers bad
I bet!
How do get your data on while on your fishing charts? Like speed, time of day ect..
From the fishing chart, press menu, edit overlays, overlay numbers (hide/show). Press and hold on one of the quadrants to change the data shown.
I just purchased the 73SV for my jet boat, mainly for the charts and navigating as Tampa Bay is pretty shallow in some spots. Before I open the box, can you save a route that you planed such as the ramp to a particular spot and create another route back?
Of course! I will say though that the 74SV is probably a better choice for Tampa Bay, as it will contain inshore maps instead of lake maps like the 73SV. Good luck!
Or you could purchase a Blue Chart map and still use the 73SV. And the 73 maps may actually be fine, but save your receipt just in case.
I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth the extra 300$ for the 9 inch screen, I’m going to purchase one or the other for my steering column, then get another one later on for the trolling motor. Any suggestions?
Depends on what type of fishing you do. If it’s a kayak, then the 7” is probably fine. If it’s a bass boat, then I’d go with the 9”, especially up front. The 7” is a bit tough to see detail on when I’m standing above it. The 9 goes on sale at least twice a year. Other than the screen size, everything else is the same.
We just bought a Garmin 73CV, but need to power it up in my house to learn how to use it. Can you please help me figure out how to convert the power cable to plug into the house?
I would just plug it into a portable lithium battery. They use them on kayaks and such to make them removable.
Question I just got a 106sv and when I put my settings for downview like brightness and range to a certain number and I restart the unit the settings go back to auto on range and brightness is this normal?
They should stay the same, unless you’re doing an actual system reset and not just turning it off and then back on.
When making settings out of water should you turn sonar off and with it disabled can settings still be made?
Yes settings can still be made with sonar off. I always turn mine off when using it out of the water, but I honestly don’t know if it’s necessary. It only takes a couple button presses so I figure why take a chance.
Contemplating on replacing Lowrance Hook with 93sv
You won’t be disappointed
Garmin ECHOMAP UHD 73cv, 7" Keyed-Assist Chartplotter can i use the chart plotter side without transducer ?
Yes, you may just get a notice saying it can’t find a transducer.
Hi,,, Very Helpful info, THANKS!
FYI,,,,, I need to post a story, about a 'GLITCH' that just might save someone a lower unit!
I fish NE Ohio, & Erie the most. I Just started to use the Garmin 93SV on our near-by lakes. No Problems there.
We recently had a 3-day Erie trip planned with the family. First day/ first time out, a bright & sunny day,,, we went out of port & around the end of the breakwall, & suddenly the whole screen went black,,, I couldn't see a thing on the screen, & that was the spot where the bottom silt comes up to 2'ow.!
That 'GLITCH', BLACK SCREEN, ruined the fams 3-day vacation. We had 3 days to find some eyes, & NOW, NO FISHFINDER!!
At home, I called Garmin tec support. I Waited 'IN LINE' for 3 hrs, before I got a return call.
The TEC knew about the 'GLITCH', aka lighting problem, & easily guided me through the set-up pages to correct "THE PROBLEM".
The next weekend, I talked to 3 other GARMIN 93SV owners at my 75 unit campground, & they ALL experienced the same exact 'problem' & they also had to contact GARMIN to get 'THE FIX'.
SO,,,, I'm here to tell you & anyone else who BUYS A GARMIN 93SV, to make sure your unit isn't in 'AUTOMATIC' CONTRAST or LIGHTING CONTROL SETTING!
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR UNIT IS SET TO 'MANUAL' CONTRAST LIGHTING CONTROL. Set it around 80%, & go from there.
I searched through many CZcams videos,, & nobody is mentioning this problem.
Evidently, the electric eye doesn't diagnose the amount of sunlight that's hitting the screen, & the unit THINKS IT'S DARK OUT!
THE SCREEN GOES BLACK.
Oh Ya,,,, one more thing.
I removed the Garmin 93SV from it's mounting bracket, in order to take the unit home while I called GARMIN. I figured I needed the SN that's on the back of the unit.
With those VERY SMALL positive & negating 12v ELECTRICAL CONTACT PINS, that are on the back of the unit, There's absolutely NO WAY TO FIRE UP THE UNIT when it's out of that bracket!? The boat & bracket were up Erie, & I had the unit at home.
Is there an easy, SAFE way to power up this unit, when it's out of the bracket?
THANKS,,,,, for any help. ;>)
Not that I know of. I know some people have bought a separate bracket and power cord just so they could mess around with the unit (and make videos) without it needing to be on the boat.
Great video man. Thanks
Thanks for watching
Rob, since we are not in the water, are we able to make these adjustments and changes to our Garmin while we are in simulation mode
I believe so, but I’m not sure what changes save while I’m simulator mode. You can also just take it out of simulator mode to make any changes and then put it back in once your changes are saved.
Good info but I have a question . In your shading you have 20 30 feet set at purple but when you go to your map I see 24 25 foot not shaded but then the hump at 26 is purple. Why is that? Thanks
Never noticed that, but it should shade the whole depth column. It was in simulator, so maybe that’s it. I’ll have to go back and watch this video.
I just got my ice bundle unit, how do you check how much battery percentage is left ???
Hi thanks for watching. In the upper right corner, it will tell you how much voltage the unit is receiving. While this isn’t necessarily the same as how much is left, it should give a good indication.
Do u make your side scan settings the same the down scan for brightness and contrast?
They are roughly the same. Although I’ll fine tune them on the water.
? I want to replace my bow mount echo map 73sv with an echo map 93sv. can I use the same wiring cables of the 73sv to the 93sv ?
Yes, they take the exact same wiring and have the exact same connections on the back. You’ll need a different mount of course though. Thanks for watching!
great vids!!!! just bought a 94sv and i can not get the depth shading to work at all? What am i missing?? I have everything set up in 3' increments but when i go to my map its always just 1 tone on blue. Any help would be much appreciated!!
Are you using it in lakes or coastal regions? If you’re using it in lakes, that’s probably the issue, since it comes with coastal mapping.
Otherwise, check out my FAQ video, as I address it there.
@@InstinctBassin Im using it with preloaded coastal maps. Its a 94sv. I will deff check out the faqs! Diving a little deeper it seems like i may need to purchase a separate package for depth shading. Doesn’t seem too cool on their part considering the price of the unit itself. On my active caption app it says fully up to date 2023. Thanks again for the prompt response!
@@2012Ryan240sx The depth shading should work in coastal regions since that is the mapping that comes with the unit. If you want it to work in lakes, then you would either need the 93SV or the G3 Lake Map card.
Sooo... I got to the bottom of this and it might be some good info for some people. I wanted to make sure to follow up. I contacted garmin which was pretty easy to do. Their exact words are the 94sv offshore edition does not come with depth shading active. They said the on/off feature will appear to function but will not function. A vision plus card is required. I purchased it and depth shading is bow working great! Thanks again for your replys and kick ass vids!
Thanks for sharing 🤙🏼
What settings do you use to track your drop shot as it falls under the boat on 2D sonar?
I don’t use 2d sonar very often, but I’ve been able to track it with the gain at about 80%
Great vid!
How do you get it into demo mode?
Press menu, settings, demo. Be sure to take it out of demo mode before going to the water. Thanks for watching!
Hi,
Do you know what would be the maximum depth that the fish finder can read the bottom and mark the fish? Regards
According to Garmin’s website, the GT-56 transducer has a max depth of 800 ft for traditional 2d sonar, 400 ft for ClearVu, and 500 ft for Side Vu.
The GT54 transducer max is 800ft, 200ft, and 125ft respectively.
@@InstinctBassin Thanks 🙏
@@InstinctBassin sorry, one last question, you know the different of the 73sv and 74sv?
@@Salsuginis Yes, the 73SV comes with built in lake mapping, whereas the 74SV comes with coastal mapping. Otherwise they are the same.
@@InstinctBassin thanks a lot!!! 💪🏻🔥
Not to be a pain but I have a question. My current Lowrance HDS10 Gen 2 has an issue with the screen constantly flickering off and on. I have an idea I have a bad battery and it is a low voltage issue. Does that seem reasonable? The battery is 3+ years old. I cannot afford lithiums unfortunately. It seems to work okay when the motor is running and the voltage is higher.
Sounds like low voltage to me, but it could have to do with how it is wired as well. Be sure to use at least 10 gauge wire to extend any power cables. Run either to the battery directly or at least to the console fuse box.
*Looks good even in daylight **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it was exactly what it was described to be , works awesome , overall happy with product*
Thanks for watching
I was thinking of getting the 73sv for my kayak. But kinda scared that I might break it
It's in sale at bass pro ,get it ,I did 🙌🙌
will the settings hold or do things go back to default with on - off of unit
Your settings should stay unless you reset the unit back to factory. This doesn’t include things changed in simulator mode though.
Hey Rob, I am going to buy a 93SV tomorrow for the bow. I downloaded the update for my 126SV last week onto an SD card. Can I put that card into the 93SV to do an update or do I need a new card ? Thanks
Really the best way is to just use the Active Captain app on your phone. That’s the only way I’ve ever updated mine. But to answer the question, I think you will need to download the update for the 93SV. I don’t think they are the same update. But I’ve never used the card to update, just the app.
Im looking for a unit just to use for the map/GPS, and plan on mounting to my snowmobile for ice fishing. Trying to upgrade from my older handheld GPS. Do you feel the 73SV would be a good one to look at? Based on your video, it looks like the map/GPS is really really nice. Also wondering, on the 73SV, if I am driving out on the ice (or water), will it record the route as travel, and then is it easy to reverse the route to follow it back exactly the way i came out? Thank u, and awesome video btw!
Hi yes it would work for that, but it may be overkill if you don’t need the depth and all the other features. You could just download the Navionics app and use it for GPS if that’s all you need. That would save you a bunch of $ if you just need mapping and GPS.
@@InstinctBassin I dont NEED the depth, but it would be very nice to have. I just want a decent size screen thats easy to read/operate. My handheld is small and not very user friendly. VERY difficult to track backwards on the records track.
Then it would work very well for you. I believe they also sell an ice fishing bundle.
@@InstinctBassin Thanks man. Since I wrote that yesterday, I really started looking into the 43CV. Seems like that might be a little more practical for what I am looking for. I wouldnt be paying for all the bells and whistles that I'd never use.
That is a good unit too, good for jet skiers and small boats. Just be sure to get the echomap version if you want maps on it.
