Spinner


I finally brought the HSP 7 touch.. I'm still learning it.. IT has so many features.. I can NOT learn them all At once.. The Depthfiner is So Complicated to setup and learn... I still haven't marked a fish with it..

It's really sensitive... But I'm learning how to use of on each trip.. MY youngest son fished with me for 3 day for the fishing for memories tournament.. He was doing things with it that I didn't know it can do.. I'm Electronically challenged.

If I have to do it OVER I would have purchased the HDI elite 7 which would have been enough for me..

Only draw back U can't accept others chips.. Such as standard map.. Etc...


I thinking about getting an after marker transducer such as Airmar.. The Lowrance high speed transducer that's comes with it isn't the best.




I had standard maps customize a chip for me..


I did a lot of research and for the price the HSI 7 Elite with a Navionics platinum chart would have been just fine for me.. But I let a salesman up sell me to a unit that would accept his chip..

I have over 2,2K in a HDS 7 Touch with installation..

Should have came see me at Academy Gunner.....long time no see hoss ! I would have kept you from getting sucked in from lame arse that you are talking about.

I recently bought the HDI 7 and while I don't find the down imaging very useful yet, I haven't been in an area where I think it could be valuable. Love the big screen and I find the menu very user friendly. I'm trying to download Capt. Paul's Edge maps into it, but so far, have not been successful.

If anyone has experience with loading Capt. Paul's Edge waypoints/maps into a HDI 7, I'd love to discuss with you.

Are you suppose to here the ping signal coming from the sonar while it is on .. just wondering bc I heard mine this weekend. I could have been the dirt in the water.. first time hearing that

Academy in Lafayette had the Elite 5 DSI on sale for 270 off so i think it was like 249...I got an Elite 4 dsi from them for 199 bc they told me the wrong price at the reel bar!

I've got a Ankona Native SUV that you could go under cover with!

I use a Lowrance Elite 5 DSI and its user friendly. Next one will be a Lowrance HDS 8 with a standard mapping chip.

Damn, it all makes sense now! Every time I would hear "blah blah needed at the real bar", I was looking for a place to buy a beer.

740s hands down best one i ever had. Have used the lowrance hd models as well. nothing close to the 740s.

HDI 7

U know u ain't getting a smaller boat. By best friend has and older elite 5. He updated maps he said n now he said its awesome. Used to have small issues with it. Ima start a "what u think spinners boat gonna be" thread. U ordered one I heard so its gonna be bigger than 16'

Nothin special, 16/48 center console black n gray outside, welded floors and sides boxed gray rhino inside, hdi 5, power pole sportsman, 40 tohat on bobs jack and galv trailer....if ya see me holla wont be long!

The Elite 7 will accept a standard mapping chip. I talked with the guys at standard mapping a few weeks ago and they told me it would.

What chips will it except, if any.....I have an hds 7 touch.

Copied this from standard mapping's website:
This software works on all Lowrance HDS models. The Elite-7 HDI is the only Elite model supported. E-Cards are also supported on Simrad.
I would not buy a new gps if it didn't fit into the above category. I wish they would make it compatible with garmin...

I guess y'all missed my post earlier...
