I got it this year its great on Lake OntarioOn the fence on buying the X4D for the boat and wonder if it worth getting for fishing Erie.
The main thing I think would be useful will be seeing my troll speed at the lure.
I like your autopilot better @Three Bouys ... let's me truly sleep at the wheel?...I use the X4. Best piece of electronics I’ve installed on the boat. Especially fishing the lighthouse with the currents that change from day to day.
Just curious, as I think these are a useful tool. Is it a straight Bluetooth connection or is a cable required to the transducer/sensor (guessing cable). If it is cable, is it sent down to a cannon ball?
Looking at the display in the pic above. It shows. Current depth, current speed and surface water temp? at the surface.
The bottom two items would then be temp and speed at the sensor.... line/cannonball (what ever it attaches to)
Never seen one in use.
Any insight would be appreciated. Gotta love new gadgets.
Thx,
you need the transducer for the x4 to workI have just purchased a x4 and am wondering if the unit will work without the transducer installed on the boat? I have speed and temp on my fish finder at the surface and if I did not have to pull the boat to install the fish hawk transducer would be a bonus.
I don't know anything about this unit but is this just giving you SOG {speed over ground} or is the info different?Thx for the response HvyHaul. The details clearly point out why we catch more going a certain direction on a given day.
This unit would really take the guess work out...
