I am new to the forum. Thanks for having me.
I just bought new 899 SI and 859 units. I fished the Detroit R on Sunday and the SI was amAzing. I was able to darken the image a bit and pick out white slashes or pods of fish and the actually catch them a couple times:)
My unit started acting up though when I had the 859 on as well. It seemed to take over my 899 unit or remove the SI view completely from my 899. When I turned off the 859 the SI view would again be there on my 899!!?? Of course in my garage the next day it was fine. Lol. I checked all my settings?!
And - I also could not see me jig very often directly below the 859 transducer (dual beam puck on troll motor). I expected it to pick up my bait better.
I have the two connected thru ethernet and 7.020 on my units and also have the 800 kHz washout problem unfortunately. Do I send my unit directly to Humminbird USA seeing as I am in Canada? And how will 800 help me/when is it useful, (marking fish, shallow water...
?)
Anyone have any ideas or help i these issues?
Thanks
Landry
