Gents,
I'm thinking ( you're sick of this) But....
As some have speculated I seek the perfect fish finder, I present a possible solution.(and not run the bank dry)
Humminbird 998c at the helm for SI and GPS. Lowrance DI OF some sort at the helm.
Please assist with your ideas .....
Just go with the ONIX and get great SI and DI.......Save some cash by getting a 2D or unit at the bow.....it will share the SI and DI from the SI unit at the console....Then you can get a 360 too.
Brett, I think you need to go fishing:Rofl or go back to work.
If we are gonna talk ultimate an ONIX 8ci at the bow and an ONIX 10ci at the console both linked to a 112 Terrova and a 360, there's ya sumpin to chew on!!!!!
Seriously tho, an 1159 at the console and 859 at the bow coupled with the 360 would be awesome.
Whats wrong with a very good SI and a dedicated DI at the helm?
I have a cheapo lowrance 150 up front that tells me when I'm over the brush.
You see, my electronic needs are few.
I would if I had the time.Quote:

Seriously,I do recomend the 360,,specially if you vertical fish or just want to keep structure located while you cast to it.http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psahyloppf.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...pswoljtces.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psqlnynl80.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...pstftk3fnz.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...pszukgrimw.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psshnifyta.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psuoini9oj.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psm5xvlu25.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psopmmuux8.jpg:yikes
My question is....How in the world do you get such clear pictures like this??? My 1199 and 899 (both are HD di SI units) are nowwere near this clear and detailed.
Your 1199 and 899 ,(imo) should produce a slightly better si picture than my onix (with its current software).your di will never be able to compete on a picture by picture thing,but sometimes just because of di coming from the siQuote:

Thermoclines make it tough too.
Great shots,to my eyes kosmo's Onix give the best all around images of any unit out there. Hey Kosmo do you think the 1199 should give a little better SI over the Onix because the interference between the DI and SI?
I've tried running my onix with the di pinging off and I,but I still believe I get better overall si with my 998.in fairness to my onix,I do have the transducer on the trolling motor while my 998 transducer is mounted on the transom. This could be causing the slight difference.i can control boat speed and hold a straight line better with the outboard running
OOPs Kosmo beat me to it
I havent recorded much but images look a lot better on my puter than on my unit.Quote:

It appears the Onix has the best down image currently.
Thank You
I have mine rigged out with an 1197 SI at the console for SI with a Lowrance mounted just below it for navigation of maps. At the bow I have an 1159 DI mounted to run my 360 and a Lowrance mounted beside it for maps. The countour maps are very important for staying in the right depth and following contours. I very rarely use a depth finder.
Minnow,
How about some pics of that setup
I will try. Could you send me a PM on how to get a pic on here? I have an I phone. Im basically a computer idiot!!!!!!!!!
