Has any on used a Simrad HS60 or HS70 GPS?
If so do they really take out the swell and waves from the bottom soundings or am I wasting my $$

Bottom lock. Takes out all wave action . I use crayfish high def on my jrc. Picks up small ledges and fish brilliant.

I use the bottom lock function but I was wanting to know if anyone has one or seen one in use.

Bottom lock flattens the picture your sounder is getting but it isnt a true bottom picture.
Sat compass will take all the pitch and roll out and give you a real view of the bottom.
Havent seen the Simrad but have on Furuno. Makes a big difference.
Tim, thanks for the chat and info.
Unfortunately I have just found out the NSS evo's cant interface with the HS60/70. Only the comercial sounders S2009 etc.
Let us know how your new install goes,
Bugger. There goes that plan.
Might need to think about an upgrade to Furuno now
Will let you know when mines done
