I hear talk to a lot of guys and they talk about how the see the fish on there finders and can also see there worm,jig, drop shot on there screen and can even see the fish come up and bite. I have a Lower ancestors Elite 5 HDI combo. I don't understand much about them have used for years but just turn them on and look at depth. Going to start fishing in colder weather and I know I am going to have to start use a depth finder for more than just depth of water and temp. Any suggestions for learning how to use like the other guys do?

These are different problems. Prop deal I am trying to get more transom left and speed and rpm's up. The trim deal is something else that is drawing to many amps and takes away from elec system. It's like trim pump motor drawing to much amps. I can watch the tach or the voltage and both are going down when trimming up or down and you can feel motor lag.

I have 2009 Pro Craft 210 Super Pro with a 2006 225 Mercury Pro XS Optimax with 10 inch jack plate , I bought it a year ago and when i got it it had a Tempest Plus three blade prop 26 pitch that was a little rough, I bought a new prop and when I took it to the lake it would only run about 5200 RPM's and 56 mph, This last summer I bought a Trophy Plus 4 blade and 23 pitch, Also found that the motor was to low in the water.Raised motor and installed prop and now have boat running about 68 mph and RPM's about 5400. Boat comes out of hole pretty good , but feel like boat doesn't lift up on pad and can get more RPM's out of motor and more speed. Looking to see if anyone out there has same boat and what their set up is and what it's running? Also have problem with trim, When trimming up or down the motor drops RPM's and slows down and as soon as you let off switch motor picks right back up. RPM's drop about 800 and also noticed voltage will drop down to battery voltage, I have a 1000 cca battery in it and alternator seems to be charging good. Any idea's for problem. This one is driving me NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any thoughts greatly appreciated .
