Picking up the new boat tomorrow with a Solix 15 and 12. I'm not new to Humminbird (coming from a 1198) but I am new to the Solix series. What are your best tips for setups and learning the new Birds? Thanks

Doug Vahrenbergs tips and tricks videos on youtube are a huge help to me.Quote:

I'll be getting it soon. Deciding on which one to get. Why the 2 rings?Quote:

I echo the YouTube how-to videos. Some are pretty basic but there are a lot of nuggets there.
I also came from the 1198 as well and the interfact is totally different so there is definitely a significant learning curve. I read the entire manual a couple of times before I ever started using it an then read it again after several trips. It's worth investing the time though... A great unit.
