    Thanks for review!. My bass tracker came with one and although I bought a Garmin echomap 93sv for my main unit I still plan on using the Hook. I will probably mount it on the bow so the bow guy is not fishing blind.

    This came OEM on my '21 Bass Tracker Classic. After having expensive GPS units and downscan, I learned to love this simple unit. And no lie, this graph has been the most accurate graph Id ever had marking actual fish. Do not use the fish icon option, and adjust the sensitivitey a little less. Only gripe is it reads surface clutter all the time under 5ft of water.

    The GPS also lets you know your speed over ground if you want to have something that tells your boat speed or if you have a indicator in the water it can tell you the difference between speed over ground and speed in the water so you can tell what the current is.

  • @borbonic
    @borbonic Рік тому

    Horizontal orientation doesn't show you more of the current bottom of the water. It shows you more historic (in the last few minutes or moments) data. In 2023 you think Lowrance would make it an option to have it vertical or horizontal. There are tight place applications for the vertical orientation

    how does the unit attatch to the base & is the wiring just plugged in to where i can just remove it easily after each trip? im sure its pretty simple but i dont want to leave it on the boat when not using it, just cant trust ppl anymore these days its pretty sad! i went steelhead fishing in Oregon came out the next day & my bearing buddys were gone off both wheels, im like wtf they didnt fall off cuz i checked them with my hand for heat & what not when i stopped for the night! luckily i carry a spare loaded BT8 hub, dust caps, & lug nuts with me just in case i have wheel bearing issues i wont be stuck on the highway some where between Oregon & Nevada!

      I just bought one from Wal - Mart and used a coupon to get it for $93 shipped to my door, I plan to mount it to my minn - kota Endura C2 / 55lbs /42in shaft, you need to take the difference of being deeper than being mounted to the bottom of boat.
