Man I just opened the box to my new livescope box and got the manual out of the garmin ultra echomap 106sv and it looks like a encyclopedia. Man how does one person remember all this.

Practice, Practice, Practice. I struggle to remember as well on the water.
You can get most of the basics from online videos. Then go use it and learn what you'd like to do better or in greater detail. Then the manuals or additional videos to fine tune what you're doing. As BC stated..... Practice, practice, practice! Before long, you'll wonder how you caught a fish without it. :dono
Once you do the initial/on water setup there are not alot of adjustments you will be using.
My 1222 and LVS 34 arrived today. I opened the box, seen all them wires and connections, closed it back up. Going to get it installed and pay somebody to show me how to use it. There are those that can pick up quickly and there are those like me that dont have a clue nor have the time to figure everything out. It is my intention to hire a guide to show me how to use it. Settings etc.

It seems like a lot and overwhelming but once you set it up and use it a little bit it’s pretty easy.
Yep it's actually a lot easier than you first think it is.Quote:

From there you just need to set the gain and range on the water. It's easy.
On my newest, 106sv I fished the first 2 days on default settings. I was Ketchin fish too fast to mess with fine tuning settings.
3rd trip out the fish were not cooperative so I had more time to dial in.
