In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzread.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Thank you! This was very helpful, as I'm a first-time sonar owner having recently purchased this model. I did also want to comment that the downscan works very well for me at slow speeds. "Slow" as in: 6hp at idle speed. I get very decent detail of the bottom and structure.

Yes, downscan will show you the contours. I was talking about fish. When the boat isnt moving, fish will appear as bright yellow and orange trails on the sonar, but there maynot be anything showing up on the downscan.

@@MaineManBassing It's actually comical and entertaining with my slow motor. If the fish are swimming fast enough in the direction of my boat, they appear as monsters on downscan. Ha!

Very helpful. Thanks. Just installed mine this evening.

This is a great video and good information. I just got my striker 4 plus and when I have it on traditional. I see the colored lines horizontal and I don’t see hills and valleys like you have. So I only see the moving screen, kinda like the heart rate on screen. Not pointy hills and valleys. Not sure if I need to fix something

I just bought one on fb yard sale for $50. They will work on any boat.

I actually have the 4cv plus and the 44cv plus both on kayaks lol and I've never really learned to use either will the stuff you talk about work with the 44 I can't find ANY videos about that one specifically, echomap plus 44cv + transducer is what I want to learn about

hi iam thinking of buying a Garmin Striker Plus 7cv fishfinder/GPS but everyone seems to be buying them for kayaks are they any good for bigger boats or to small

thanks!!!! very informative

Can you change it from feet to fathom

Haha. "Gain is basically colour contrast". No it's not colour contrast. Gain is the strength of your signal. You reduce the gain to reduce interference noise and stuff you don't need to see like crap floating through the water. If you don't set it right, you'll be thinking you're looking at fish when you're just looking at interference or weed floating in the water. Your video should say, I don't really know what I'm talking about, that's why I just run everything on auto. Haha
