Something that I heard a lot of was people complaining about having to keep tweeking there hummingbirds to get the best view..ith these onix units I believe that they may of got what they asked for.no tweeking necessary, pretty much turn them on leave on defaults..well that works sometimes but I really like the ability to tweek to get the best out of my unit.
My onix transducer is mounted on the trolling motor were as the 998 is a transom mount.. feel like this could be some of the issue but not all.. I'll post this picture from my 998.this is what I expect from hummingbird si. So far I haven't been able to get an onix shot , of the same structure that is equal in quality of this structure.i have in some other places but not this area.
Before I sold my 1198's I did a lot of side by side comparisons. Main difference between the two units in my opinion was resolution out to the edge of the range. At 150' the Onix was much better than the core units. Had a guide on my boat last Wednesday that has been using his 1198 now forever, pretty much every day, and he confirmed this very quickly. When I did the side by side comparisons both transducers were on the transom.
