We have also posted them on You Tube under Humminbird TV.

One other thing you may want to try is power the unit on and press the menu button twice and go over to the Chart Menu. Then go down to where it says Chart Select and select what card slot the Lake Master card is in. See if this helps the preformance of the chart.

You can also prees the menu twice and tab over to the chart menu. Then go down to where it says card select. You have the option to choose what card slot or map you want to display on your unit. If you are running a LakeMaster Card you will want to go in a choose the card slot that the LakeMaster card is in. This will help the preformance of the Map.

I have converted my electronics to Humminbird after years of Lowrance/ I reently bought a 917C unit and the new Lakemaster Humminbird MN chip. The contours do not show up on my unit. Can someone please help me. How do I get the unit to read the Lakemaster map data? thanks Dave

You will have to update the software in the unit to be able to use the Humminbird LakeMaster Card. This card was just released this year. You can go to our website and register your unit and download the software on to a SD Card and install it in your unit.

On the LakeMaster Cards for the time being you will need to set your Chart Orientation to North-Up. We have seen a couple of isolated issue with Course Up not loading the Charts. We are working on this issue.

If you think about it the accuracy does matter, but if you have one antenna on the bow of your boat and one antenna on the transom of your your boat the accuracy will be better. When you mark a waypoint the lat and long never moves. It is always in the same place. For an example If you create a waypoint on the console and then the interlink stores and transfers the waypoint to the front unit and you have a gps antenna on the bow you can get right on top of the spot. But if the gps antenna is mounted on the transom of the boat your spot will be where the gps antenna is located. You can do what you were explaining but I prefer two antennas. To go with the setup you are talking about I have a diagram for this setup using a AS SYSLINK cable. You can email me and I will foward it to you. My email address is [email protected] .

It’s my understanding that they have 4000ptp power not the 8000 stated in the spec and overview area. I spoke with HB several days ago…….surprised they have not corrected this yet!

---

I just checked and the 998 and the 898 has the same spec’s. They are the same except for the display size.

It looks like I am going to be purchasing an 1157c. I have a ton of waypoints on my current card which is a Garmin Data Card—rectangular shaped. Does anyone know a way to electronically get those waypoints onto the HB unit?
Thank you in advdance,

You stated that you have the Garmin Waypoints on a Garmin Data Card. Are you pertaining to the Micro SD Card? If you have them on a SD Card we should be able to convert waypoint in Humminbird PC.

I just checked on the 788I and the update is still not posted yet. Just stay tuned in it is coming. As you stated if you are running interlink and have a GPS puck mounted on the transom and an internal gps unit up front you will be fine. You just need to check your unit on the bow with the internal gps just check your gps override and make sure you have internal gps selected. On the console unit you will need to make sure you have a accessory Y cable hooked to the console unit and the gps antenna hooked into the NEMA side of the Y cable and the Interlink hooked into the accessory side of the Y cable to get the gps update if you are running an Interlink.

One thing to note when you are comparing apples to apples is the HDS 7 has 6.4 inch display with the display pixel count at 480 x 640. The 997 has a 8 inch display and the pixel count is 480V x 800H.

The blockage could be coming from the screens on the back of the boat. One that you can do is unscrew the transducer and turn the transducer around in the same place and see if you get blockage on the right side since you turned the transducer or just place the transducer or the side and see if you get a clear image.

There are a couple of places you can see demo’s. One is http://www.sideimaging.com and you can also go to http://www.humminbird.com for the images.

Bob,

Can you call me on the details. My cell number is 334-695-3329.

I picked up an ICE-35 the day after Christmas and have used it twice so far. I am having an issue with it when I am using it, the bottom and my jig (holding my rod steady)seem to move around and are not steady. When this is happening there is an audible difference in the rotating of the flasher motor like it is slowing down and then speeding back up. The unit will do this even with a fully charged battery. I know I fished with my brothers Vexilar FL8 right next to me, no interference BTW, and his display is rock solid while mine moves every so often. Has anyone else experienced this issue with their Humminbird flashers? I really wanted to try another flasher (LX3) but the humminbird was what I could afford. My brothers tried to talk me into a vexilar but the price was to steep, and I was limited to one store due to all the gift cards from Christmas. My choice was a showdown or the ICE-35. Thanks for the replies.

I’m just going off of what I read on the box(before I returned it), as well as Page 2 of the manual (on-line)

Your ICE Flasher Series™
Fishfinder gives you the power to choose

the frequency and coverage of your
sonar. 455 kHz provides narrow coverage
with the greatest definition. 240 kHz
provides wider coverage and a good balance between depth performance and resolution.

right next to that paragraph is the image where they show the frequency’s . the High Frequency Narrow Beam) is optimal in shallower water, where as the Lower frequency (wide beam) is optimal for deeper water.

I’m not saying it can’t be used in the other way but the way I read it is they recommend Narrow beam = shallow, and wide beam =deep.

---

Just to clear up a little confusion. The single beam (455khz) is for deep water (deeper than 10 feet). The wide beam (240khz)is for shallow water (less than 10 feet).

I agree with linedrive. If you are fishing in 10 feet or less you need to be using the wide beam. If you are fishing in 10 feet or deeper you need to be using the narrow beam.

The biggest key is make sure transducer is level for you to see your jig. If it is tilted in any way to the left or the right your jig may be out of the beam.

linedrive,

That is correct there is a misprint. The target seperation is 2.5 and the target ID is .5. Two diffrent thing.
