  • Instant PDF Delivery
  • Lifetime Access, including updates

Unlock the best settings for your Lowrance Active Imaging 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. This is the non-HD version of the transducer and is not designed for models that operate in Megahertz frequencies.

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.

Instant Delivery and Lifetime Access

Includes free lifetime updates whenever Lowrance software or firmware changes affect settings.

See Fish and Structure Easier to Catch More

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

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.

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

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.
