it looks real cool but to be honest i am more concerned with what is under my boat and i usually fish in 100-300 ft depths of saltwater. this looks more like it was made for lake fishing.

Rod,
All of the side imaging units include dual beam down looking sonar that provides highly detailed downlooking sonar to 1500 foot standard and optional transducers can reach up to 3000 feet. The side imaging beams will image down to 150 feet to show great detail of the bottom, fish and bait fish. The beams cover up to 240 feet out to both sides of the boat. If you talk to any saltwater angler they will tell you that the side imaging is incredible in helping them find schools of baitfish out to the sides of the boat and then they can mark the schools and drive over them and see them in the downlooking sonar and catch them. Even in water deeper than 150 feet the side imaging will still show you fish and baitfish in the top 150 foot of water.

Like Rod asked, I too am concerned about how good the side imaging resolution is at deeper depths. I fish in NC and to get to real structure for bottom fishing you need to be able to work depths around 200 ft. What is the resolution at those depths (i.e. 1ft., 2ft., 3 ft., or etc.)

can you mount the transducer in the normal location , the same spot where mine used to be mounted? are the actual screen viewings as clear as when on demo mode?

Steve, the side imaging technology does often require different mounting locations versus a traditional downlooking sonar installation. With traditional downlooking sonar, only the path directly below the transducer must be clear from obstructions. With side imaging, because it scans both below the boat and out to both side of the boat the transducer must be mounted in a location where there is a clear path below and out to both sides of the transducer.

has anyone experienced problems with rooster tails from the transducer mounted for the side imaging unit? I just bought a new boat and have the 797with all the stuff and when I was out this weekend it appeared to be throwing up some significant water at side of the motor and into the back of the boat. I moved the transducer (dealer mounted) to the highest position that I had on the bracket and it still threw a tail Any suggestions would be appreciated.

sir, may i ask if you will be making a fishfinder for depths 2meters to ten meters as most carp waters in england are this depth being sand pits this would be the averege size of carp water i have allreadythe rf15 can you supply me the same but with meters above in england this would raise sales as allready i have bought the viper bait boat whitch your company supply the rf15 to fit with the weather as it is the carp are mainly on the upper layers of the water looking very much to your reply, eric from england

I have some suggestions on the rooster-tailing issue. If you would please call me at 334-687-6613 x 1235, I will be happy to discuss them with you.
Thank you, Mark Gibson

Eric,
I’m not 100% sure that I understand the question so I will attempt to answer and if this doesn’t answer your question please email me directly at mgibson@johnsonoutdoors.com. We do offer Smartcast products that read in Meters in the European markets. These products are designated with an E for Europe. For example the portable product is a RF 15E. The noticeable difference between these and the U.S. versions is the E products have an orange RSS and the U.S. versions have a green RSS. The main technical difference is the U.S. versions use 915 MHZ to comply with U.S. FCC regulations and the European versions use 433 MHZ to comply with CE standards. It is illegal to operate the U.S. versions in Europe because they don’t comply with CE frequency requirements. . These E products can be bought locally at dealers in the European markets. These units read depths from approximately 1 to 40 meters.

I have a NauticStar 2110 Bay Boat. Just purchased the Humminbird 383c GPS=Fishfinder. Wondering if you could tell me the best location for the transducer for best results? Off the back of the transom or the through the hull method? I believe my boat has a location inside at the stearn where the transducer can be mounted that is pre-drilled. Just wondering about the performance of through the hull vs. hanging the transducer off the back of transom? Your assistance is appreciated. 9/21/08 kc

I can not get a reading of depth when running my boat at anything above 10mph. I would like to read the depth as my boat in motion. Any suggestions with out knocking my Transducer off the boat in the process.
Thank you,
Kevin

Do they have schools on understanding these system and what is it your actually seeing.

My recommendation for the NauticStar 2110 would be to install the transducer in the hull. This will result in the best performance at high speeds and if the transducer is installed properly in the hull the signal should be just as good as if it were located on the transom of the boat. If you are doing the installation yourself one of the main steps is to make sure the area where you are installing the transducer is smooth and free of rough fiberglass threads. If the area isn’t smooth you can sand the area to a smooth finish.

The 383 comes with an integrated Humminbird UniMap. This model does not support mapping upgrades

Has Hummingbird considered an ice fishing model of the side scan unit? Is this even possible. I fish on a clear deep lake with very little structure. Something that could help locate the structure and fish under the ice would be phenominal.

Trying to find a product manual on the LCR2000 and can't seem to do so. Can you direct me on how I might find it I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Regarding the LCR2000 manual request - Unfortunately, it has been over 20 years since we produced that unit and we no longer have the manual for that product. There is a copy of the LCR4000 and the LCR3004 in our support/product manuals section on which are the closest we have to that product.

I just got the 383c and I love it...........Now all I got to do is watch where I am going on the lake instead of watching the fishfinder........Thanks humminbird!

Unfortanately, it is corporate policy that we don’t comment on future product developments as this could give our competition useful information. We do understand the power that the side imaging technology can offer in relation to a large number of fishing applications including ice fishing.
