Hello I looking at the HDS -9 carbon fishfinder GPS chartplotter combo I’m fishing Lake Ontario for salmon up to 500 ft of water it’s listed at pro bass this week on sale for $1199.00 but the description does not tell me the transducer that comes with it Do you have any comments with what I should and should not purchase for this type of fishing I do also fish shallower Kawartha lakes for walleye Muskie pike and bass Is this unit an all round good idea for this Thanks your video is very educational

The HDS Carbon is a great unit, for what type of fishing your planning on doing I would suggest the Active Imaging 3 in 1 transducer.

So you cant connect an Elite FS 9 and an Elite FS 7 up to one transducer? you have to have a network hub? Do these not have wireless connectivity between two units?
@Hotrodsfishing

You can connect the 2 together via Ethernet to share a transducer but that will use all your Ethernet ports. These units will not connect wirelessly. Hope this help.

What a great vid Tim! I am looking to get the elite FS with a 3 in 1 transducer for offshore fishing in the caribbean, do you think it will be a good setup to show me fish up to 1000 feet deep? Thanks!

The 3 in 1 transducer works best in shallower water, especially the side and down scan. A P66 transducer is a good choice up to 1000ft but if your targeting fish on the bottom in 1000ft then a 1KW transducer is going to be your best choice.

Best thing about Lowrance is the customer support. I've had good experiences every time I needed help with an issue, talked to a real person in Canada within minutes who was the actual expert/tech. The Elite FS is great value for the money paired with a 3-in-1 transducer. I fish in southern vancouver island it has worked well. I also like the ability to wifi-mirror the screen to a cheap tablet that I place at the back near my downriggers. lets me check for bait and schools of fish when trolling right at the back.

Wow Tim from HC!! Awesome video man! Out of curiosity with the new transducer and more kHz power. Will side scan be more usable in our deeper water conditions we have around here like in French Creek?

Higher frequency will give more definition, unfortunately lower frequencies are the ones that go deeper.

Tim-hey I am trying to get tech support for my Hook 2-5 combo…I can’t get the accept button to activate my unit. Tried calling tech support but all I get is a voicemail that says,”due to a service disruption we cannot answer your call….” Been that way for almost 2 weeks.

How old is your unit? I believe the Hook series has a 1 year warranty. You can try the Canadian help desk 1-855-361-1564 option 1 for English and 2 for service.

The Reveal is made by CMAP. Most unit come with CMAP discover. Reveal maps have more information and shading. Reveal maps are sold for smaller area due to SD card space where discover is for all North America.

The HDS is not worth the money in my opinion. I run 2 FS elite 9 on my open boat and I've never had any issues with sun, sun glare or viewing angles. I'm in fact surprised that it's never been an issue. I was prepared to have some sun hoods on the units but I don't have to because there's no issue.

Can you link the second FS elite from the same transducer? As in, can you mirror to a second screen? Cheers!

@@peterfinlan8159 Yes absolutely, that's what I'm doing. You connect one screen to the transducer and the second screen to screen nr 1. The screen nr1 becomes the source and mirrors to the second screen.

Thanks very much Tim. After reading about the FS I went and bought one. From various reviews/reports I was under the impression it would be easily readable in strong sunlight, but was very disappointed to find out that was not the case at all. As Murphy's law will have it, you always find a video telling you the reality when it's too late. Just need to build myself a cabin now to get the sounder out of the sunlight LOL.
