Best Gt54 Settings forDownVu /Down Imaging ?!?

- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2024
- This video is a follow up to my GT54 Best SideVu / Side Imaging setting video. It will be ran that same exact way where i will list the settings that i use.
PLEASE keep in mind that the down imaging settings are much more sensitive to things like water clarity and depth. These can change a lot while you are out on the water. But the goal is the same with down imaging as it is with side imaging. You want the most detail without blowing out the bottom/water column with brightness.

Thanks for doing this video. My settings are basically the same that you showed. I did follow the advice from your side view video and applied them the the down view. Can't wait to see the video on the traditional view. Keep em coming.
Thanks for the videos. Just installed my 73sv today with all of your settings. Will get it out on the water tomorrow and see how it looks
Yes thank you !! I’ve been waiting for this video.
As always great vid! We appreciate your work!
Nice content bro , just jumped on Garmin after running Lowrance for a while your bids have helped me out.
Tuning in from Australia 🤘👍
Bought the GT54 with garmin 73sv from bass pro for $350 off and loving it! These videos are very helpful.
Great info thank you and you answered my questions from the side scan video
Thanks Max, more great information.
Excellent informative video!
Thanks for sharing the info
great video's been a big help,,thanks,keep them coming..
Excellent Video Max
Great Video
Keep coming this uhd
Perfect video!! Thanks
Great info man this helped a bunch 👍
Awesome thanks for this
Thanks for the great jump start. I just got one but waiting for the weather to warm. Around the 15' mark the water starts to clear. Is that the thermocline?
German Shepherds rock!! Thanks for the bides!
I have a gt56 and you said to use the 810 on down image. I do not use split screen but did not know if it made any difference and should I use 1070 on down if not using split screen?
Can u tell me what your sonar settings for your 2D sonar are please? I'm used to Lowrance and I feel like I'm missing fish and the fish mark much smaller on my newer Garmin. I have Echomap 126SV wired directly to lithium
Did u do a video for traditional and well great videos or is there a video you recommend
Hey thanks for the great videos, I’ve used and applied a lot of this info! I may be missing the video if you got it up already. But would you say these same settings apply to the gt56 for clearvu?
you haven't missed it, its coming Coming soon!
But !! you can use the same techniques in this video to tune in your gt56's down imagine
@@MGMarineTech awesome thanks man! Good to know I’ll keep a look out!
Great video glad I found it, any chance your planning on doing a video on lakevu map settings?
What kind of settings would you like to see ?
trying to find a way to tell distance to way points like casting rings
@@andrewcollette4971 ah yes! I can show that easily.
Might be able to whip that video on tonight
Help! When running Traditional on my Garmin UHD93SV and UHD73Sv it always reverts back to 5' depth, regardless on actual depth. Any ideas?
Yes, you have some type of zoom setup,
Go into the zoom settings and make sure those aren’t all screwed up.
Never mind. I see your explanation of TVG
Garmin UHD93SV won't allow Side vu imaging on top when using 3 way split screen. Can this be adjusted?
Sure it will, take a look at my combos video, it will show you how to edit them accordingly
Hey friend. What would a 8-10’ alligator look like on clear-vu and side imaging? Reason I ask is I was drawn for a tag here in GA. Your thoughts?
A gator that big would look just like a gator especially the shadow. Obviously it all depends how it travels through the beam.
@@MGMarineTech thank you!!
For some reason my Gt54 started showing wrong depth. I'm cruising at around 7 kn and suddenly my garmin starts saying i'm at depth of 2 feet and alarm starts going off. I'm probably at a depth of 200 feet. any idea why this started happening? as i got to shallower water, under 125 feet, it worked good again except 1 time when i got into really shallow water about 15 feet, then it showed about 2 feet again for a few moments. One thing to note and I don't know if it has anything to do with it is that there was TON of pollen all over the lake, i mean LOTS everywhere.
most of the time when you are in water that deep and it starts flashing very shallow depths, it has lost the bottom.
There is a setting in there that kind of aids the unit in telling it where the bottom might be. I believe its called "Bottom search limit" say the search limit is set to less than 200' and you are over 200' it will kind of error out and flash a much shallower depth because you are telling it that the bottom should be in less than 200'
For kayak do i set the scroll speed to fast or slow? Thanks
I run scroll speed auto no matter what. Unless I’m trying to do something special.
Let it self adjust
When you talk about depths of water what do you consider deep and shallow?
Talking about tvg?
@@MGMarineTech No just in general , Is deep water 60ft or 600ft and shallow water 60ft or 6ft. The harbor I fish is 26' deep at its deepest. Just try to put deep and shallow into perspective.
@@salvatoregagliardi48 i fish in water that is 5-50’ at the tops.
As far as these settings, 5’ will need different settings compared to 25’ compared to 50’
But as far as what I consider as shallow it’s 5-10 and deep would be 50-60 for the gt54
On my Clear vu after going to 20mph, the depth starts flashing at the last depth continously. I'm using the GT54UHD at 240kHz. Why does this happen? What can I do about it?
Most likely the transducer coming out of the water and loosing bottom.
@@MGMarineTech Thanks..I look into lowering the transducer.
Will this setup work on a GT52HW-TM?? Striker plus 7SV
No those are two different transducer.
You can however use the principles in this video to dial in your gt52
@@MGMarineTech great thank you
Do you have a video on traditional/2d sonar?
Not as of yet, at least for settings but as a rough guideline,
Gain adjust for depth - deeper requires more gain
Scroll speed auto
Color gain +2 to +3
Tvg depends on depth as well. Deeper =higher tvg
Interference low to med
Also color pallet blue works best for me
I just saw this vid about scroll speeds. Could you do a test on this? ruclips.net/video/8Q1YpiwYsgU/видео.html. I thought it was supposed to match boat speed? I troll at 1-2 mph and have mind set to 1. He says set it to 7?
The reason people will increase the scroll speed (a lot of guys run them at 10 on the 54) is to “stretch” the image. This will make fish appear bigger on the screen and in some cases be easier to see.
I feel that it just distorts the picture a lot and makes everything harder to see
Which is why i recommend using auto speed, as the unit will self adjust to the correct scroll speed for the speed of the boat
@@MGMarineTech Yeah, he says it gives a more accurate reading.?
@@LetsCrappieFish yeah I don’t necessarily buy that at all…
I can see a use for increasing the scroll speed more than is required, but I don’t like how it looks (everything is stretched and highly distorted)
But go out and play with it at a steady speed and see what you think
@@MGMarineTech I do fine with it on 1 haha. I was just wondering about it.
@@LetsCrappieFish that’s all that matters is that you are happy with the results.
That’s what I’ve always seen as to why people say they run it high.
Again I let the unit do the work and adjust speed as necessary. At 1-2 mph it’s probably in that 1-2 range and when you speed up scouting for a place to 3-5 it will bump it up for you and you don’t have to dig into the menus.
