The wider cone shape of the 75kHz-95kHz will cover more area under the boat making it easier to get the structure in the Sonar cone ...

A combo screen of Chart/Sonar would do both above ...

Can't wait to try it. 0630 tomorrow will be first trial. Thanks so much. Your insights have allowed me to understand the "book" better and make more sense of what I am reading.

Worked lots better. Found one of my best brush piles right away and caught 6-7 nice ones. I tried to mark using the cursor, pressed the menu button twice but could not get the cursor to move. I will hit the books again. Thanks, everyone for your help.

Activate the cursor by pressing the 4way arrow button in any direction ...

Then use the 4way arrow button to move the cursor ...

I see you were also in the midst of waves when you took that shot ... just like I was when I took this one :

I was trying to with the cursor but will try again. It is marked with the mark button on chart. Thanks again for all your help.

OK let's clarify marking waypoints at the boat position vs marking waypoints away from the boat position ...

*When the cursor has not been activated = Pressing the Mark button assigns a waypoint at the boat position - regardless of which view is displayed ...

*When the cursor has been activated = Pressing the Mark button assigns a waypoint at the cursor - regardless of which view is displayed - and regardless of where that cursor has been moved to on any particular view ...

(Activating the cursor alone does not assign a waypoint to anything - on any view - until the Mark button is pressed) ...

Yes, that part I understood. Went back today, found the brushpile with the marked position then double clicked the 4 way button and realized the cursor button was working when I pressed it harder, moved it over the brushpile then hit mark. I have two marks here, one previously named and one I just made that I will rename and remove the original. Appreciate the lessons as they really help.
