What are the problems others are having with Humminbird fish finders? I really have not talked to anyone else who has owned a Humminbird before, but the one I bought for my first fishing boat a dozen years or so ago worked great until the day I sold it. The WideEye I have now is incredible. With 500 Watts (RMS)and 4,000 Watts (Peak to Peak) it will pick up a #10 Rat Finkie at 50'+ and ID's fish with what seems to be very good accuracy. The only thing I have found is you have to make sure the sensitivity (gain) is set properly for the depth you are at and where it has both a wide and narrow signal, you might not get a lot of definition until you select the narrow beam only. The wide beam is great in some conditions but not all. Maybe I have been just lucky? Thanks, Mr. J.
