The 1199ci HD SI Combo got 360 software when it was made. Register the 360 so you get the software for it, install it so you will have the reverse offset setting that is opposite the transom version that the unit has.

Some wacky rig the lure with a drop-shot presentation.

There is a Humminbird DI transducer model XIH 9 DI T. It comes with epoxy. It is the exact same transducer as the transom XNT 9 DI T that comes will all Humminbird DI units. Like any transom transducer, it will perform at speed IF installed so it can. So YES you can use it for shoot-thru in a suitable hull. Just need some slow cure epoxy and do the proper testing for the best location BEFORE you attach it inside the hull. Like ALL the Humminbird DI transducers, it does dual beam 2D sonar and selectable 455 kHz or 800 kHz Down Imaging. The Helix 5 and Helix 7 DI models have 200/455 kHz 2D sonar. Yes you have to travel less than about 12 mph to get a usable DI image. Adjust the scroll speed to close to the GPS speed for the best performance. Zero to 12 is the speed range---1-10 is the scroll speed setting range.

Several are listed here and you can contact one of the launch sites like Lake Fork Marina and Motel, or Minnow Bucket. https://www.bing.com/search?q=lake+fork+guides+for+bass+fishing&form=EDGNTC&qs=AS&cvid=7d30636f2bbe4e55a24fc74357967ed7&pq=lake+fork+guides&PC=DCTE

Tom fishes the FLW Tour and will be at Lake Norman in North Carolina the week before that. Competition is 15th-17th if he fishes the final day.

My Tracker has three switches to the right of the steering wheel. When turned on the red light glows. The first one on the left is the Aerator pump and if you push the top of it, that is Auto Timer/fill. If you push the bottom of it, that is manual fill. Middle is OFF. The middle switch is to turn the bilge pump ON or OFF. The right one is for the navigation lights, push the top of the switch for bow and anchor lights, push the bottom of the switch for anchor light. Middle is OFF. There is no recirculator pump/switch. There is an accessory switch on the left of the steering wheel by the key switch, ON or OFF

Those are the older full SD size, still the same version though. MicroSD version:

You do not have to put a Zero Line card in the unit to do Auto Chart Live. The unit's memory has 8 hours of data capacity. At any point you can put the Zero Line card in the unit and the internal memory will be transferred to the card automatically. Some just wait to fill up the 8 hours and then transfer the data to the Zero Line card. Then you will have 8 more hours of internal memory capacity.

As Goose52 stated, you don't need to be concerned with using up all the memory capacity. No, the card will not overwrite after it is full, it is a map card and can be full eventually. IF you ever fill it up, that's it. Another card is in your distant future. It has about 14 GB of water body shorelines (Zero Lines) and the rest of the 32 GB capacity is for the contour map creation inside the Zero Lines. If you got the right card, it states "North America", there is a body of water or three in that area of the world. Promotional data states "millions" of zero lines. The Zero Line card I have is not a SD card. It is a microSD inside a SD adapter. It has that size card for use in the Helix 5 and Helix 7 models with microSD readers. The data has to be processed by either the Auto Chart or Auto Chart Pro computer software to use in those units. The Zero Line card is not exclusive to Auto Chart Live. When you purchase the computer software, a Zero Line card comes with them. Maps created by Auto Chart Live and Auto Chart computer software function like Lakemaster mapping in the units.

Same as you would for your whole body---an umbrella hat of course: http://www.orientaltrading.com/web/browse/processProductsCatalog?Nrpp=10000&sku=5%2F580&BP=PS514&source=bing&ms=search&cm_mmc=Bing-_-Bing+|+Hats-_-Hats+-+Umbrella+(BMM)-_-%2Bumbrella %2Bhats&cm_mmca1=Product+Search&cm_mmca2=NonBrand&cm_mmca3=PS514&cm_mmca4=FS49&cm_mmca5=Product&cm_mmca6=Hats&cm_mmca8=BMM&cm_mmca11=%2Bumbrella %2Bhats?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Bing | Hats&utm_term=%2Bumbrella %2Bhats&utm_content=Hats - Umbrella (BMM)&categoryId=377320&Nrpp=10000

I posted a comment about that picture on the other forum where you posted it.

Guys with the Lowrance Total Scan transducers have been cutting off the skeg.

I have mine on a Motor Guide Tour. Goose is correct that you need at least 6" between the skeg and prop. This is that transducer with the Humminbird mount for a trolling motor: This is the only picture I have of similar Edge type motor and it has the Transducer Shield and Saver for a Humminbird Down Imaging transducer that is 4 3/4" long. You can see the front hose clamp is not long enough to go over the shaft housing. The larger one is the Humminbird Compact SI trolling motor puck that is 4" long and may be a better choice if you do not have the 6" space plus the clamp space: Don't remember for sure, but I think Transducer Shield and Saver will modify the TM-HDsi mount for the HDSI transducer so it clears the prop collar. Call and ask.

If you are in vegetation mats, your transducer is below the mat so 2D sonar will show hard/soft bottom areas. If you are above thick submerged vegetation, the sonar pulses will be blocked by the vegetation.

It is sort of covered on page one of the manual under "Getting Started" http://www.lowrance.com/Root/Lowrance-Documents/US/ELITE-3X_OM_EN_988-10547-001_w.pdf

Prop "turbulence" is not an issue. The outboard prop will not affect a transom transducer unless you run the motor in reverse. Water flows off the hull and passes over the transducer BEFORE the outboard prop affects the water. You could get electrical interference from the outboard if the transducer cable is real close to it and you have an electrical issue with the motor like bad spark plugs, or charging system.

Your issue is probably a tilted transducer, re-align it so the bottom of the transducer is either parallel with the bottom of the boat or the trailing end slanted down some to get a better water flow across it.

It's 1,110 acres. How far can you paddle?

That does not have GPS/Mapping. The same model version with GPS is Helix 5 SI GPS

There is bank and pier fishing available beside the parking lot. The shoreline to the left of the launch ramp facing the water, all the way around to the trees will have the deepest areas. Look at it on Google Earth.

You don't have the transducer attached to the hull so it can give you depth when the boat is moving faster than idle speed. Post a picture of your transducer installation.

Both units should be wired directly to the battery and extended with at least 14 gauge wire. Use the spade type fuse/holder. I use 12 gauge to the bow. An alternative is to install a dedicated sonar unit fuse panel at the console supplied with 10 gauge wire. Connect each sonar unit to that panel with the correct fuse size for each. Extend the bow power cord with 14 gauge wire. Modern sonar units are more sophisticated computers than their predecessors.

Did you extend the unit's power cords directly to the battery, not using the boat's wiring harness?

Is your battery fully charged? Do another Restore Defaults.

If you have a Humminbird unit, Lakemaster has Kentucky Lake as Lakemaster High Definition Survey shown on their map list. That is about as good as you can get.
