So I just found out they sold me the wrong transducer with it. It took me months to save the money to buy this and I end up getting screwed. Typical of the world today.

The person I got it from said the transducer had never been used so I wouldn't think it is broken. Lord I hope she didn't send me the wrong transducer. . I had to buy used because it's all I could afford so I definitely can't pay for a new one. This is what the ducer looks like can you tell the difference from the pic?

I've tried adjusting everything in the settings and I have the right transducer. I was thinking more along the lines of interference or possibly the transducer needs adjusting. I was hoping somebody would see the pic and know exactly what it is.

I got my Elite 5 HDI installed and out on the water, sonar works perfectly and will even hold bottom while on plane, but the downscan will barely even show bottom. It will just show a fuzzy line where the bottom should be or sometimes nothing at all. Any suggestions??

Yeah I'm definitely going to fix the holes I hadn't noticed how bad they were..

I figured that's where it needed to go, just wasn't sure because of the way it's configured right there. Thanks

I just ordered a Lowrance Elite 5 HDI (all I could afford) and I need help on where to mount the transducer.. As you can see my boat has had a transducer mounted before in 2 different spots. Should I mount it where the top holes are or the bottom by the drain plug? Or somewhere else? Thanks

If KVD reads this it may give him the confidence to overcome this "slump" he is in. I actually think you guys give him too much credit, I think I would have a good chance of beating him 1 on 1 in a one day tournament. Now a year long aoy race is a different story at this point in my fishing career given his vast knowledge of fishing and competition.

#1 backing my boat in the water, rope comes unhooked and boat starts floating off so I jump out of my truck and proceed to sprint towards the dock and make the 10+ foot jump into my boat. I still haven't realized the athletic potential I showed that day. #2 we have an old guy we call speedo man who is always laying on the dock only wearing his sweet speedo at the county boat ramp. One Day im going to wear a speedo and lay on the dock then give him a hard time while he launches his 1987 Jet Ski. Payback

I'm making the trip up to Pickwick this weekend and I am hoping to be lucky enough to catch my first ever smallmouth, and I have never been on the lake, so my question is does anybody have any tips on general areas you can catch a smallmouth? Also any general types of baits that catch smallmouth on the lake? Also I'm not asking for exact spots or baits, just general knowledge. Thanks!'

I want to swap from 5 ratio to 7 and as I said dam0007 I contacted shimano and the pinion is out of stock.

Does anybody have a drive gear and pinion for a Curado G7 they would be willing to let go? If not, does anybody know a good place to buy off the internet? Shimano had the drive gear but the pinion is out of stock, and I would rather not buy from eBay. Thanks!

I may just put a drop of super glue over the grooves and only use it with mono as a top water reel lol

Yeah but then I will be stuck with a reel that I know is going to have problems again in the future. I'm thinking of seeing if they will let me switch to the new Fuego baitcaster since it doesn't have the tws. I want to give it a try anyways.

I have a few Shimano reels, absolutely love the Curado I, except for the whine it makes casting.
