I have been watching this family for the past 4 weeks or so. Boy they grow fast.

And they all made it.LOL

Did a quick test this morning, even though it was off the docks here 10 fow. The 5 had it,s own ducer back on. Fired it up and it went back to factory setting. I played with it just to see if I got any kind of interference. Seem to be ok. Hooked up the 4 and it seemed to be the way I had it at the end of the hard water season. Next test will be deeper water. Something tells me the ducers might not be interchangeable,OR, what Garnet said about the wires being close together, might be the issue. Will find out soon enough on the deep water. Will test them both out exchanging ducers. In the mean time, I will fabricate a holder for the skimmer ducer to use on the toon.

And now a new friend to the gang. Good on ya,s for letting the young guy join.

Had to look up this Black Rock Fish. Interesting Black rockfish breed via internal fertilization, meaning that female members of the species store sperm until the development of the eggs. The phases between the start of the process and the end are separated by several months. The majority of the young are reared in late winter to early spring. Females produce between 125,000 and 1,200,000 eggs every breeding season. However it has been noted that not all of the eggs are released every year. It has been occasionally observed that the female may absorb the eggs back into her system.[3]

Well I know I have had my fill, all eat,n up. Finished off the last tonight. I have no fish in my frezzer. Never will.

BWAHAHAHAHA Now thats funny. Sorry Boss, but it was.

Like I said, my Elite 4X, has been flawless. My only reason for upgrading was for a larger screen.

I have both units paired back up with thier original ducers now. I will try them out after work tuesday now as Im pooched myself after today. Thanks for all the replies so far. And yes Quick, I did try all frequencys. Even split screen and flasher. Smart ass.

Here is what I have now Garnet. I am using emt for the holder. Thats what the wire is wrapped to.

Wow, you hit something there. I just rerigged my finder on conduit and it,s wrapped up now. It did work better when it was just hanging. I will remove the wrap and see. Thanks Garnet. Never thought this would effect the unit.

Well this Southern cajun is pretty good. I might over rubbed, but I like it. Start and finish

Thats what Im asking,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

So why would I mark the bottom soild, but lose the jig?

Yes Rob. Im going to try it out after work Monday. Also going to try the 4 as well with the ducer it came with. I dont see the ducer being the problem, unless the two machines are not compatible.

Nice to see you drop in Jac. What, no ping pong? LOL Thats some nice pickeral.

I have tried all what you said Tom. I hope it rains next weekend ,and I,ll head down to Radio World. LOL Bud. LOL

Dang, you got stuck drinking all that beer alone. Shame bud. LOL You still running that bass boat you brought up from Yuma Garry?

Yup, Terrys great at these things, I just want to hear from those that use this unit.

LOL 4th pic Buzz off, dont you see Im busy here, your scaring the children,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Nice shots again J.

Im stuffed just looking at that Chris. Nice job. No fish today, so chicken breasts rubbed with some southern cajun. Just getting happy happy in the fridge right now. Will just have a salad and bake tater with it. It,s a new rub Im trying for the first time. Hope it tastes, the way it smells. I wanted to wrap it in bacon, but diet list says no BACON.

Im having many issues with this finder. I bought it used and trusted I was getting a good deal. There is no disrespect to the seller. It might just be the way I have set it up. I have reset to factory settings and set it up like I did my elite 4X. It , the 4X,runs flawless.I have heard the 5 is a bit different for set up and have also read they are a P3TA to set up. My biggest issue came today. I could mark my heavy jig, then it wouls fade away. Yes, it was staright down. I mark a solid bottom and correct depth. Other issues I have are surface clarity and noice. If they are off, I get a full coloured screen. I need to have both on low to show a clear white screen. Very frustraded now. On the 4, I can clearly mark a meegs 100 ft down ,williams as well. This thing I lose it in 55 fow all of a sudden today. I am running the ice ducer, yet when I bought this unit, it came with a regular skimmer type. Would this be my issue? The connector is not Blue for the ice ducer, it just plugs into the prongs like my 4 does. Hope Im making sense here. For those that have this unit, can you share your set up? Thanks For now, the 4 is going back into action.

Hell, I just troll a wormharness and get them. No casting .LOL LOL at your post capt.
