Issues That You Can Have Relating to a Portable Hummingbird Fish Finder

By Colin Danielson


When you haven't contemplated this, a portable fish finder is significantly more useful than 1 you have to attach to your boat. You may take it along exactly where you cannot bring your boat and install it on a rental boat, or certainly one of the portable fish finders might be effectively utilised for ice fishing. Ever considering that I discovered out about the existence of fish finders, a portable fish finder has been really a friend for me.

Even if a this portable Hummingbird fish finder doesn't have any navigational abilities, it still does its job obtaining fish, computing depth and temperature of water. Nonetheless, just like virtually any electronic device, difficulties may happen.

So, here are several of the issues that may well happen, relating to your portable fish finder, and you will also find right here some answer to fix those troubles.

1. In case you desire a fish finder from the Fishin' Buddy series, you'll have to understand that they work a bit differently. The transducer is mounted in the finish of a 24 inches lengthy, plastic pole which can't be adjusted, for the 110 and 120 models. So, if you are going to fish from a boat using a high hull, and the plastic pole will not reach the water, you basically won't have the ability to use your fish finder. So, preserve in thoughts that if you'd like to purchase a Fishin' Buddy fish finder, it will not function only on a smaller boat.

2. In case the transducer does not send appropriate information towards the electronic unit with the fish finder, probabilities are it was badly mounted. So, no matter if if it does not measure depth appropriately, it almost certainly does not stay below the water surface all the time, or has developed algae on it. Mount it appropriately and clean the algae. In case the transducer will send too a lot of false positives for the head unit, it may be installed too close towards the motor of the motorboat, so you may take into account moving it a little farther from it.

3. Given that the head element of the fish finder is an electronic device, even though they may be labeled as waterproof, you must preserve them dry at all times. Also, maintain in thoughts that salt water can do severe damage towards the circuits and connectors, so wipe any drops of water after each fishing session from them, particularly if you are fishing in salt water.

4. The portable Hummingbird fish finders from the Fishin' Buddy series function with AA battery packs. Generally, a set of batteries need to final for 30 hours of utilization. The 140c fish finder that I have, usually lives on a set of batteries for two week-ends, but I don't use it every one of the time. In any case, it really is best to have a set of batteries with you, usually.
