Lowrance/p66 settings

Hey guys,
I recently upgraded my gps/sonar unit to a Lowrance hook 7 unit with a airmar p66 transducer. I'm wonderinf if there's some key settings I should have set up, before I go out to try it. Also will the sonar not work out of the water?

Any tips/suggestions would be great!

Thanks
 
I wouldn't run that sonar out of the water. Unfortunately for me, I did it once, forgot to shut it off when leaving the ramp..... Pavement 2' below it is a really hard ping on the transducer, and it can ruin it! If you can, go launch the boat and try it out somewhere that you have a decent idea of how deep the water is.....Great excuse to go for a boat ride....
 
You might have to go to your settings menu and set the transducer your using if you haven't already.
 
Go to YouTube and look up the tutorials.

The concepts are the same. Adjust the colour line, ping speed, gain et al as they describe.

I personally don't like a couple of things they do as I don't need to see a half screen of noise but that's ok...to each their own.
