    No takers? Someone must know - how changing the TVG setting affects the 2D sonar display. I tried all four settings and I don't see any noticeable difference; except a wee bit less surface noise on...

  4. EchoMap Plus 95sv - Bottom search limit

    In my 2D sonar setup there is a setting called "Bottom Search Limit". It give me four choices - Auto, 100m, 300m, and 600m. 99% of the ponds I fish in are less than 50m. Which would be the better...

    I'm surprised these units are made in black plastic. A nice white marine colour, with a heat sink plate in the back.

    EchoMap Plus 95sv - TVG setting

    Generally speaking, how does changing the TVG setting affect my 2D sonar display? I read the book notes, but don't really understand how this affects the display output.

    Edit - I should add I am...

    I can see that the top arch is shorter, but I wanted to know if its thicker. I did read the flash-light stuff, and didn't miss it, I understand all of that. That just said, this one little piece I...

    Hi Larry, I realize this post is a few years old but I did have a specific question that I didn't see answered in this great discussion thread.

    Did you purposely intend to draw the fish arch at...

    Smallies, perch, or bait fish?

    I was thinking bait fish at first, but the size of the dots and the thickness of the arches got me thinking it was a school of smaller sized smallmouth. BUt smallmouth schools don't get that thick...

    Sorry to ask again, and I'm now thinking I misunderstood something. I thought there were other brands of trolling motors (non Garmin Force) that could be 'paired' with the EchoMap Plus 93/95sv units...
  12. Smallest possible trolling motor for EchoMap Plus 95sv

    I have a kayak, and an thinking of a trolling motor. What would be the smallest possible trolling motor that 'integrates' (works with) a 2019 EchoMap Plus 95sv? When I say integrates / works with, I...

    I have since been on a few other ponds, and the very short story version, is shallow water I see lines when I peddle slow. Peddle fast, and/or deeper water and the lines are either gone or so faint...

    I'm guessing the transducer gets a lot of feedback from the 'immediate' water surrounding it, and the electronics/software to a bunch of filtering for that. I'm also guessing that somehow the...

    I have a 2019 Pelican Catch 130HD. This year Pelican sent me a free upgrade to the Gen2 Hydrive on the condition I send back the Gen1 drive. So I did. The new drive has shear pin rods in the...

    I went to a different pond today, and played with a few settings, and then I remembered you saying this. So I peddled pretty fast, and the lines got so close you almost could not see them. Then I...

    Sorry that is a tough picture to 'read'. I see some holes, and it looks like you found the rock piles you were searching for. :-)

    Can't see how a kayak would affect a sonar, other than the kayak being wobbly. Mine is really steady with the pedal drive, and the transducer is mounted low enough that no part of the kayak or peddle...

    No, but I am in a peddle drive kayak. When the water is choppy/waves I see ripples in the down imaging too. And if the kayak turns I get circular streaks in the side scan. I could see how waves...
  21. EchoMap Plus 95sv - side scan streaks and jagged waves

    So I went to a lake this weekend, and this was the first time using my EM+ 95sv on it. DownVu and 2D sonar seem perfectly normal, but my side scan images concerned me. I am concerned I have a...

    Thanks a bunch keoweeskeeter. I actually use that site a fair bit, but missed finding that article. Thanks again.
  23. Sonar 2D - Do fish arches get larger in deeper water

    Since 2D sonar has a cone, the time for a fish to pass through the top part of the cone is way quicker than the bottom of the cone. So how does that affect the shape and size of the arch on the...

    Would be nice if those buttons could be used for gain (power) control.
  25. EchoMap Plus 93/95 SV - smallmouth bass in SideVu

    Good day folks, and the weekend is just around the corner! I am really enjoying my EM+ 95sv non-HD, I can pretty much get the 2D and the DownVu to do what I want it to do. And the SideVu is creating...
