    Interference issues with HB SI units

    He has the transducer cable zip tied along TM power/steering cable. I mentioned that he needed to re-route that, but he's not seeing the correlation because of the effect on the console unit. I'll have to try again to convince him to re-route it. I had him do it when he bought the 998 from me...

    Interference issues with HB SI units

    Thanks Wayne. Howdid you connect the ground? He has a MG Pro 82#. We are planning to work on it Saturday, and id like to get my Robertsons in a row in case we have to add the ground.

    Interference issues with HB SI units

    Follow up. It is a MotorGuide tm. I spoke to HB CS, and they are sending a " ferrite collar" to install on transducer cable. Will let you guys know how it works. Thanks to HB CS for their prompt and friendly service. Greg, you guys rock!!!

    Interference issues with HB SI units

    My buddy just bought a new Min Kota digital 82# tm. He's running a 998 SIHd on bow, the transducer is mounted on tm foot. Set up exactly the same as with old tm. Issue isthat when he powers u new tm, it blanks out SI & DI. Not only on the bow unit 998, but also on the 1197 unit at helm. The two...

    Correct angle of SI Transducer

    Wayne, I understood Thommo59 to post that if the transducer for the unit at the console wasn't "tuned" sideways also, at shallow depths the images on the console unit would have dark areas because when alone, sitting at the helm, the boat would be skewed to the left causing the transducer to...

    Correct angle of SI Transducer

    My point was that in shallow water (depth range you are showing) I am on platform and reading from the unit on the TM, not the unit mounted at the helm. At that depth the big motor is usually trimmed high, unless I am using it as a Power Pole. :>) So in that scenario, I wouldn't typically be...

    Correct angle of SI Transducer

    When you say "very shallow", how shallow do you mean? Usually, I/we are reading the TM mounted 998 in water less than 4-5 ft. Also, when "scouting", typically I'm/we're moving at idle. Btw, at times I/we fish in water that is 1ft under the TM. My biggest bass have been caught in those depths at...

    Thanks Greg, for the positive reinforcement and tip!

    Correct angle of SI Transducer

    Should the butt of the transducer be kicked up a little when fine tuning the installation. I'm somewhat OCD about detail, comes from my career. My thinking is that, with two bodies, gas and gear in the boat idling along scanning, the back of the boat is angled down. If the 'ducer is mounted...

    Richie Icognito/Jonathan Martin situation

    Saw a report that Incognito had once sexually harassed a woman at a golf tournament. Someone needs to teach him some manners. He's a lot bigger than me, but I think a bat to the knee cap would work pretty well.

    HB 898C HDSI

    You guys have me confused! I know, I know! If you have a shoot-thru and a "Y" cable, what else do you need? I've always been under the impression that the SI transducer doesn't "transduce" SI at high speed. And why would one want it to do that? We have always only used SI when "scouting" at...

    To Greg, Doug V. Wayne P. or anyone else who may know

    Thanks Greg! I asked because I typically didn't see the sharpness of images on my unit as one sees on some of the advertisements, promos, etc., and wondered if a different trans. would resolve that issue. I supposed I'll have to install Photo Shop on my unit. LOL

    To Greg, Doug V. Wayne P. or anyone else who may know

    My question has to do with the 1KW transducer. A 3-part question: 1.) What is the purpose of 8000 watts peak to peak as far as say an 1198 SI HD? Does it translate into sharper imaging across the board? 2.) How much more expensive is it than a "stock" transducer? 3. Is the installation any...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=5YGc4zOqozo Call this guy and have him write you a song and do a video. Supposedly, after this came out, United offered to pay him a large sum to pull the video. Also Taylor sent him three guitars because of the exposure he got them.

    Syria...anyone else feel like we've fallen down the rabbit hole?

    Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of "Chump-in-Chief" because that's what I think of him; he's a chump, and his admin. is a joke. Too bad the joke is on us! However, I have confidence in America that we will realize what direction in which we are headed, and bring our country back to...

    Syria...anyone else feel like we've fallen down the rabbit hole?

    I still cant believe that an arguably "educated" lawmaker stood up in front of news cameras and said "We have to pass it to see what's in it". Are you serious???????o_O Call me stupid if you want, but in the last election, if I recognized their name, I didn't vote for them.:( The point was, i'm...
