    Looking for reefs with Raymarine Element

    I don't know how to enter coordinates in my Raymarine Element. But I launched on Lake Erie from Turtle Creek and the chart did show me most of the reefs out there, except one known as Turtle Reef. So I was succesful in aiming the pointed boat icon to the main reefs in the reef area & navigating...

    Looking for reefs with Raymarine Element

    Thanks for reply. Yet I am wanting to find out if my fishfinder's chart feature can guide me there.

    Looking for reefs with Raymarine Element

    I live in Toledo Ohio where there are several reefs nearby, east of Toledo, near Port Clinton, dubbed the walleye capital of the world. I am new at using my Raymarine Element fishfinder and haven't needed to learn about navigation charts since I fish near shore in familiar places. My Element has...

    Laceyville on a fishfinder?

    Thanks for reply, i am intriqued, but where is lake Raystown? That sounds more interesting than my next trip plan to use gps coordinates to find what a rocky reef in Lake Erie, Turtle Reef, looks like on sonar. Rocks turn out real good, a good quality sonar image looks at the level of a poor...

    Laceyville on a fishfinder?

    What and where is that lake with the car? My new hobby is the challenge of looking for such things with my Raymarine Element fishfinder. But once a sunken car came to me, I didn't have to search for it. A pond in my neighborhood was drained for cleanout and a stolen ditched car emerged into view!

    Laceyville on a fishfinder?

    That makes sense, I have heard of a clearing crew before the flooding. It's just that Google had news posts with titles like how there are underwater villages in Tappan Lake that not many people know exist. So I went there with my Raymarine Element fishfinder to see what might be left. One...

    Laceyville on a fishfinder?

    Sadly, I agree. Thanks for reply. However, recently I have seen things online in forum type discussions about a person seeing the top of a Church steeple during Tappan Lake's annual low water cycle, and I saw a map that pointed out the location of a sunken bridge. And one commenter said there...

    Laceyville on a fishfinder?

    Has anyone ever been on a boat on Lake Tappan in Ohio and seen the sunken village of Laceyville on their fishfinder? I am wanting to find it with my Raymarine Element but would need to know just where it is, if there are still buildings intact enough to be visible since it's being underwater...

    Distorted Fish Shape On Fishfinder?

    I too am glad to see posts by a local angler. I usually launch at Cullen Park or Bayshore access and fish over around Little Cedar Point or Grassy Island at the mouth of the river. Sometimes i go out to Turtle Island but theres not much left of it anymore, its really eroding away.

    Distorted Fish Shape On Fishfinder?

    I know that a Sheepshead is a salt water fish. But I meant the species properly known as "Fresh Water Drum" that are also informally and probably inaccurately also known as Sheepshead or Sheephead in the Great Lakes. They are commonly regarded as a "trash fish" because to be eaten, they must be...

    Distorted Fish Shape On Fishfinder?

    Thanks for reply. Then you must be able to learn more about the fish characteristics from the standard sonar graphics with the fish showing as white arcs? As a newbie amatuer, i was impressed with how the side vision fish images look like crude sepia photos with a sort of actual fish shape to...

    Distorted Fish Shape On Fishfinder?

    I am wondering if the fish in the lower left section of the left part of my Raymarine Element 7HV is a fish that is actually wiggling like a long and relatively slender fish would do, or if this is a distortion of his body as the clay bottom of this creek mouth is apparently distorted by some...

    Oil Injection Kit?

    I have a 1998 Johnson 30 Horse 2 cycle that doesn't use oil injection. Is it possible to buy an oil injection kit to use with the motor?

    Interpreting Hypervision Sonar Images

    Thanks for reply, dingbat. Since uploading those images, I have been seeing other strange imagery, when using 3d realvision. In the center of the 3d image, along the bright yellow line which I'm told is the sonar beam, I often see small black squarish and rectangular shapes that don't seem to...

    Interpreting Hypervision Sonar Images

    I am using my new fishfinder a lot looking at bottom structure on the western end of Lake Erie and Green Island. Might anyone know what the ragged bottom contour near Maumee Bay State Park is in the first attachment? And in the more ornate images just off Green Island northeast point, are these...

    Testing Carb Emulsion Tube for Leakout

    The carb of my 1998 30 horse Johnson BJ30BAECS is leaking fuel from the air intake area. A repair manual says that the emulsion tube could leak and tells almost everything I need to know to test it, but not enough. As seen in attachment here of the text about the leak issue, a syringe is to be...
