Wide Side Operation

The Wide Side transducer is a specialized "side-looking" transducer which is extremely useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open water. The Wide Side transducer uses 3 different sonar elements which transmit signals to the left, right, and straight down from your boat. The downward beam is 200 kHz with a 24 degree area of coverage. This beam maintains a continuous digital depth readout from the bottom directly beneath your boat. The side beams are 455 kHz with a 16 degree area of coverage. The sidelooking elements can be used independently, or together to locate targets near the surface of the water on either side of your boat.

The Wide Side transducer is available as a trolling motor mount, a transom mount, or a portable mount.

Note: The Wide Side transducer can be connected directly to the Tour Series or used in conjunction with the standard transducer through a

transducer switch. When used with a switch in conjunction with the TriBeam transducer, the Tour Series recognizes which transducer is connected whenever the switch position is changed.

When a Wide Side transducer is connected, the screen display changes to display the information from the side-looking elements. There are four basic views available when the Wide Side transducer is in use: both, left, right, and down. These views are controlled by the View Menu, which is only present when operating in Wide Side mode. The default view is both, in which information from both the left and right elements are displayed on-screen. The digital depth of the water beneath your boat is always present. Viewing both left and right sides simultaneously gives you an excellent tool when searching for bait fish in open water, or when following a creek bed, however greater display resolution can be achieved by viewing only one side.

To change the view, use the MENU button to bring the View menu onscreen. Use the ARROW buttons to select one of the four possible views. The Down view is similar to the traditional view when using the standard transducer, however there is no Tribeam information available such as fish location.

When operating in Wide Side mode, the range must be adjusted manually, since the bottom is often not visible on-screen. Ranges of 15, 30, 60 and 120 feet are available. Also, Zoom is not possible in Wide Side mode, and the Zoom menu is not available.

Experiment with the Wide Side transducer while operating it in a familiar area to learn how to maximize use of the information displayed. Remember that if you are using a trolling motor mount, the information displayed is controlled by the direction the trolling motor is pointing, not necessarily the direction the boat is traveling.

To return to normal "down" operation using the Tri-beam transducer, simply change the switch setting if you are using in conjunction with a transducer switch, or reconnect the Tri-beam transducer. The Tour Series will reconfigure the screen automatically.

Tour Series specifications

The Humminbird Tour Series stands out as a premier line of fish finders and sonars, designed specifically for anglers seeking advanced technology and durability on the water. Renowned for their high performance, the Tour Series incorporates cutting-edge features tailored for serious fishing enthusiasts.

One of the hallmark features of the Humminbird Tour Series is its superior imaging capabilities. The series boasts the latest in sonar technology, including Side Imaging and Down Imaging, which provide incredible detail and clarity below and beside the boat. This advanced sonar allows anglers to identify fish, structures, and underwater vegetation with unmatched precision, transforming the fishing experience into a more strategic and informed endeavor.

Another significant attribute of the Tour Series is its GPS capability. Equipped with Humminbird’s proprietary LakeMaster and Navionics maps, these devices allow users to navigate with confidence. The integration of GPS also enables the creation of custom waypoints, routes, and tracks, enhancing connectivity to fishing hotspots. The AutoChart Live feature lets anglers create real-time maps of their fishing spots that highlight depth contours and bottom hardness, offering a customized view of their fishing environment.

The Tour Series is built to withstand the demanding conditions of fishing. With a rugged design and a bright, sunlight-readable display, these fish finders ensure visibility in various environments. The touchscreen interface is intuitive and responsive, allowing for easy adjustments on the fly. Additionally, the models are equipped with a robust transducer system that can achieve impressive depths and deliver accurate readings even in challenging waters.

The integration of the 360 Imaging feature is another standout characteristic. This capability offers a complete panoramic view of the water around the boat, providing additional data on fish and structure location. The ability to see a complete picture of the surroundings allows anglers to make better decisions in real time.

Lastly, the Tour Series doesn’t compromise on connectivity. With built-in Bluetooth and networking capabilities, anglers can connect multiple devices simultaneously and share data seamlessly. Whether you are monitoring multiple fishing rods or collaborating with fellow anglers, the Tour Series provides the tools necessary to enhance your fishing excursions.

In summary, the Humminbird Tour Series combines advanced sonar technology, comprehensive GPS mapping, durable construction, and connectivity features, making it a leader in the fishing electronics market. For passionate anglers, it delivers not just tools, but a profound understanding of their aquatic environment.
