Thanks for the quick replies. I do not think it is the auto cart, as I am just trying to get a more accurate contour line depth under normal usage. Do I require autochart for one foot readings? I will take a closer look at the menu's as YT suggests, but I believe I have gone through rather thoroughly. I must be missing something, or I would get 1 foot markings instead of only 10, correct? Maybe it was lack of zoom?

Yankee Troller, Thanks for the tips, I have loaded Lakemaster Plus v2 in my Helix g3. I seem to be having difficulty with the contour depth readings. I only get 10 foot increments instead of lower more 1-2' detail readings. I believe I may not understand or have the base layer setting correct. Would you be willing to share some wisdom in this area? Appreciate the help. Dave

Good Day, Navionics Hot Maps Plantiun vs Lakemaster plus v2. The above video is showing exactly what I am trying to achieve with my Hummingbird 3gn SI_DI. I currently have a Lakemaster 2 installed and working, BUT I can not get anything other then 10' increments on the depth sonar. How can I get better readings? Does Lakemaster 2 have this capability? I am hoping so, for $150 ,10' depth increments will not work for me. Thanks, Dave

Thanks Tyee II, so you have two head units? I am hoping get away with just my helix g3 on the dash. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have the p66 from previous configuration. Unclear on how to tie them all together. I just went through and researched, but have found nothing. Sent Hummingbird an email, but I will be surprised if I get a detailed answer. Will post to the LOU folks, maybe someone will help. Dave

Good Day, Has anyone utilized a p66 for a second transducer? I currently have one and I would like to use the lower frequency capability on my new Humminbird. Two transducers the same time, switching back and forth as required. Is this possible? Thanks, Dave

I am coming from an older Furuno 620 (this year) and also miss the lack of the cone down. I may put it back on just for that propose. If so, I would be in the same config you are looking at. My P66 is mounted on the starboard side already, I just never took if off. If your concern is prop produced interference, I am having none on the port side. I just kept the transducers as far away as practical. Every boat is different, but no issues on mine. Not sure if your kicker will have an issue. I just try with my main motor only. Overview: X4 and g3n on my port side. No issue separately, no kicker, have not tested both at the same time. P66 on starboard side, not currently hooked up. Was hooked up last year and worked fine with the X4 on port.

Good Day, My Helix g3 SI transducer is on the port side of the engine, no issues. You do understand the SI transducer also has 2d sonar capability (Helix g3). You may have additional FF's and need three transducers?. I would highly recommend a transducer mounting board be installed ( if you do not have one already), on both the port and starboard side, if possible. Great way to save from too many holes in the boat. I have a x4 mounted on the port side as well. Last year it worked fine. This year I have not had both the SI and X4 turned on at the same time yet. Both seem work individually just fine. The x4 frequency is no were near the FF's. Dave

Thanks wishinfishin, I checked this out but nothing around contour mappings. Anyone else know of how to get more accurate depth contour readings from lakemaster plus ver 2?

Good Day, does anyone know how to set the depth increments to something other then 10' in the chart mode? I have a LakeMaster Plus V2 crad installed. Just trying to see something more accurate then 10' 20' 30' etc. Thanks!! Dave

Thanks!

Good Day, I am hoping can advise me on stowing side curtains when not in use. I would like to keep them on the boat. But to keep them in good shape is what I am having trouble with. There is a rigid channel at the bottom of each curtain, so will not roll up to tight. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave

jk1 any signs of the newly stocked Cisco's?

Thank you, I fish Keuka. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Good Day, Lakemaster NE shows they cover the Finger Lakes. Is there big improvement from the stock unit? Using a Helix 9 G3. Thanks, Dave

Justtracytrolling is right on. The Solix gen2 goes to 200' mega Di. The model previous (non g2) only goes to 125' mega Di. Thanks for your inputs! Dave

Sounds good FishnChef, please let me know what you find out after you call them. This is a lot of money for this unit, would like to get the latest. Dave

Thanks, for the help with the 3 vs 2. Still unclear on the Di - here is the product description from Hodgesmarine: Depth Capability: 125 ft(DI) 400 ft(DI-455kHz)1500 ft, 3500 ft* & 5000 ft* Second frequency needed past 125’? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Humminbird Solix 10 Chirp Mega Si Gps Combo - Looking at one of these, also see g2, but noticed some of the other birds have a g3 option. Is the g2 the latest? Looks like the DI only goes to 125'? How is the picture below 125'? Thanks, Dave

Thanks Mike, I figure as much but wanted to ask anyway. Wishful thinking. If you think of it, just glance over every few days........:) Thanks, Dave

Good Day, anyone drive past the launch , outlet east fork lately? Just asking for an ice out report. Coming up from PA, trying to schedule boat launch. Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

FYI...I have one installed on the port side, but no kicker. The unit is still pretty close to the turbulence from the main (115hp). Starboard side has a 50/200 transducer, no issue with that either.
