Thanks for the info. I was beginning to wonder if mine had a problem or not. I do have the transom transducer and keep the boat on the trailer. I had an older Garmin 320c fishfinder then went to a lowrance x96. After putting a new motor in my boat this spring, I went ahead and got a Gps/finder combo. I will keep and eye out for minor marks and swing back. Again thanks for the info. I'm hoping to get out this week and find some fish

An Airmar P-66 will probably do allot better, but check with your favorite marine electronics tech.

I see this is an older thread but wondering if you guys solved the problem of not seeing marks at speeds above 10 MPH.

Im deciding on an HDS 7 or 8 and not seeing marks at speed would definitely be a deal breaker for me.

The faster you go, the harder the down and side scan images are to see....

The HD sonar should work...

With the side and downscan some setting changes could help to get better clarity, but its really not designed for high speed....

If you want PM me and I can give ya a call to let you know about my experiences..
