Unlock the best settings for your Lowrance TotalScan Skimmer 3-in-1 transducer.

This 28-page field-tested PDF guide walks you step-by-step through how to fine-tune your sonar, DownScan, and SideScan for sharper, clearer, and more reliable results on the water.

Perfect for anglers of all experience levels, this guide can be downloaded, printed, or laminated for easy reference on every trip. 

What’s Covered

Our guide provides detailed instructions on:

  • Sonar Settings: Fine-tune your sonar for precise target separation and bottom definition.

  • DownScan Settings: Improve your down view to clearly identify structure, bait, and fish beneath your boat.

  • SideScan Settings: Maximize your side imaging range to locate cover, drop-offs, and fish-holding areas.

Every setting has been tested in real-world fishing conditions across muddy, clear, and deep water, so you can trust your sonar to deliver the accuracy it was built for.

Why It Works

  • I’ve already done the trial and error so you don’t have to.

  • Get proven results in minutes instead of wasting weekends tweaking menus.

  • Field-tested by a full-time guide using real boats in real water.

  • Trusted by anglers who were once just as frustrated.

I’ve spent years on the water rigorously testing TotalScan transducers across various units and bodies of water, all to deliver the most effective settings for your setup.

Written About In

Worth Buying

I was the guy who just turned the unit on and went fishing. I figured side imaging was just “okay” and that’s all it could do. After going through this guide and actually setting it up the way it explains, it honestly feels like I’m using a completely different unit.

For what this guide cost, it finally made me feel like my Active Imaging was worth the money I spent on it. I can see fish way clearer now.

If you’ve been running it on default like I was, this makes a huge difference.

Why not just learn it on Youtube?

Comprehensive and Structured Learning

Unlike YouTube, where information is scattered across various videos and channels, your course compiles everything in one place. The content is meticulously organized to provide a step-by-step learning experience, ensuring you don't miss any crucial information.

Expertise from a Professional

My livelihood depends on my expertise in fishfinders. I am on the water every day, constantly learning and refining my skills. Unlike many YouTube "experts," I have real-world experience and a proven track record in professional tournament fishing and guiding.

Reliable and Up-to-Date Information

YouTube content can quickly become outdated. Your course is regularly updated with the latest techniques and tips, ensuring that learners always have access to current information.

If You're Skeptical, Read This First

If your electronics were dialed in and you were happy with what you’re seeing, you wouldn’t still be searching for answers.

I know how this goes. You’ve already:

1) Spent serious money on your fishfinder

2) Tried tweaking settings but you’re still not confident

3) Watched YouTube after YouTube and every “expert” says something different

4) Seen perfect demo screenshots online but your screen doesn’t look like that on the water

That’s exactly why Fishfinder Coach exists.

I’m on the water every week, guiding and testing on Garmin, Lowrance, and Humminbird units in real conditions, not factory defaults.

If you're skeptical, good. You should be.
Just know this, every single review on this site came from someone who felt exactly like you do right now.

When your screen finally makes sense, that skepticism turns into confidence real quick.

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ll get it in three ways:

  1. On the Course Home page after checkout
  2. In a follow-up email
  3. From your Orders page when you log in

If you download it to your iPhone, it will show up in the "Files" app.

They are downloadable PDFs that show you exactly how to set up your fishfinder for the clearest, most effective sonar image possible, tailored for your specific brand and model.

Yes, as long as you use the same email you checked out with, your files will always be available in your account.

Absolutely. You can print the PDF at home for quick reference on the boat.

No, if you purchase the manual, you’ll already get the settings guide as part of it.
If you just want the settings section and not all the extra content, you can purchase the settings guide by itself.

When you download a file on an iPhone, it usually saves to your Files app, not your Photos or Safari.

Here’s how to find it:

  1. Open the Files app
  2. Tap “Browse” at the bottom
  3. Go to “Downloads” or tap “Recents”
  4. Your PDF should be there and can be opened, saved, or shared from that location

Tip: You can also use the search bar in the Files app to look for the name of the file (e.g., “Humminbird Settings Guide”).

The PDF settings guides are strictly settings, what they are, how to adjust them, and the exact or range that we suggest for your transducer.

The video courses are universal video courses that go over how to read and use different sonars. They go over general settings but will not give exact settings.

It depends on what you want to learn, most people opt for both for complete mastery.

Check out our bundles here for total mastery at a reduced price.

Our PDF settings guide for the TotalScan comes standard with HDS Gen 3, Elite Ti, and some HDS Carbon units. Other compatible units that don't come standard with this transducer is the HDS Pro, HDS Live, and the Elite Ti2, and Elite FS.
