Airmar TM150M Installed on HDS 12 Gen3

[highcalibercat]

I am looking for advice on what settings I should start with to give best results in 20' of water. Transducer is mounted the trolling motor, had it in the water. Everything looks to be working fine. Just need a little help with settings in the HDS Gen3.

I should add that I have not been able to get any better images than with my us2 on my ultrex.

Custom frequency and set frequency at 105 or 107, try that. Noise rejection off. Surface clutter low or off.

Screenshots would be helpful. :)

Thanks 1950, I will try setting the next time I go out.
Team, may be a while before I can get back on the water for screenshots. It's snowing here now.

Take some screen shots at 155 also

In addition to Custom frequency of 105 kHz and noise rejection off, make sure you are using the blue 7-pin port. Gen3’s do not recognize dual channel sonar, so the unit will not recognize the TM150M via Xid. If you have the 9-pin connector, 9-7 pin adapter 000-13977-001 is needed

I am using the 9-7 pin adapter plugged into the blue port also.

All screen shots looking much better than before.

In shallow water 105kHz was my favourite with TM150M, and your colourline looks a bit low. Apart from that those are good screenshots in my eyes.

The screenshots are brush along side a dock so I could take about the same path each pass.

Thank you guys for all your help
