Well imagine a sounder with a 0.3m as the constant depth and a screen of nothing but blurry clutter (no bottom showing whatsoever)purple5ive wrote:we are still waiting for pics mate, without that its useless answering your posts..
Aka the sounder is picking up nothing.

Re: Just got the hook 7
Maybe could be your transducer has moved it's angle or could have a air bubble on the transducer?Kimtown wrote:Well imagine a sounder with a 0.3m as the constant depth and a screen of nothing but blurry clutter (no bottom showing whatsoever)purple5ive wrote:we are still waiting for pics mate, without that its useless answering your posts..

Re: Just got the hook 7
The transducer angle is still the same, a touch below 0 degree. Angled down maybe 10 degrees? Could be bubbles with the swell, but I find it unlikely.smile0784 wrote:Maybe could be your transducer has moved it's angle or could have a air bubble on the transducer?Kimtown wrote:Well imagine a sounder with a 0.3m as the constant depth and a screen of nothing but blurry clutter (no bottom showing whatsoever)purple5ive wrote:we are still waiting for pics mate, without that its useless answering your posts..

Install seems pretty standard, just off the allocated bracketing the transom.

Re: Just got the hook 7
we need to see the height, thats what determines wether or not it will read at speed yada yada, hence why i asked for pics
9 out of 10 times the problem is transducer installation/height issues
so without seeing what your install is like we might all be suggesting things that might be useless if your install is up ***** creek.
then again the install might be perfect, so then we look at other options.

Re: Just got the hook 7
It's not sounding bottom at rest/anchor/drift offshore though, not just when it's traveling.
Yet when i'm inside it'll sound bottom at basically full speed (55-60km/h) no problems at depths of like 10-15m.
Not sure what the difference is besides the extra 5-10m of depth?

And it's set up/installed exactly the same as the 'lowrance hook 7 setup' American dude. Same settings and all.
