Rated 5 out of 5 by oldandfriendly hummingbird fishfinder
hummingbird products always far exceed the competion in quality and dependability. I would never consider any other make.

Rated 1 out of 5 by BassMaster9508 Not Impressed
I had 2 of these installed on my boat. Got out on the water and both of them wouldn't read the depth! I came to find out that both of the transducers were bad! i talked to the local marine shop and they told me that they have had several people bring this product to them for the same reason. very dissapointed with humminbird! guess i'm gonna try a Lowrance!

Rated 5 out of 5 by RushCreekAngler Good Value
This replaced my old Super-60. Easy to Install, I have had it out once, very easy to set up and use. While it does not have the higher resolution display, color or down imaging like the more expensive units, I find it to be sufficient for my use. it has many of the features that last year were only on more expensive units (switchfire, dual beam plus) - this unit is a good value for the price.

This fishfinder will be used on my trolling motor. I need a Trolling Motor transducer, do need to order that seperate?Answers
A:
The transducer will work on your trolling motor. You will need to buy a mount to install. I recommend you find one made of steel as the plastic mounts break easily.
A:
With a little bit of thought to it you can mount it on the Trolling motor with a trolling motor clamp.A:
Yes, I ordered the transom model.
A:
Yes, you would need to purchase the Trolling Motor Transducer separately. We offer the Transducer Mounting Hardware. This hardware kit adapts our standard transom mount transducers in the list below for use on the trolling motor, which is item number 38-531-909-00 or the Trolling Motor Mount Transducer item number 38-581-376-00.Answers
A:
No. The only units that will tell accurate boat speed will have built in GPS. You can buy a speed accesory wheel type speedometer, But i do not recommend it. Just another hole in your transom and inaccurate speed data. Gps is the only accurate speed you can get.A:
No, temp only. Have to order optional equipment.
A:
This unit is speed capable with the purchase of the speed sensor, which is our item number 38- 581-086-00 model TS W. ThanksAnswers
A:
Accurate, always within 1-deg of my front trolling motor transducer.
A:
It is going to be about +2 or -2 degrees. ThanksA:
The temp reading seemed to be spot on and consistent.Answers
A:
Has a light, haven't used it yet.A:
Yes it is backlit, and you can adjust the light with 10 different levels off brightness
A:
This does include a backlight for night fishing.Details:
It will be ready to used ones I buy it?Answers
A:
The SmartCast is not an option for this item through Humminbird.Details:
The BPS Staffer mentioned the correct speed sensor for the 561 is the TSW. Since the 561 allready comes equiped with a temperature sensor, can I use the SW and save myself some money?Answers
A:
I just talked with Hummingbird and they said the TSW would be a duplication of the temp sensor already built into the trtansducer, and the correct model is the SW.
A:
The TSW is the Speed sensor that Humminbird lists for the 561 option. Thanks!Details:
what is the part number for the additional device used to keep track of speed?Answers
A:
Bass Pro sales person should answer this, they helped me with correct transducer.A:
Save yourself some money. The correct model number is the SW, not the TSW.
A:
Part Number TS-W item number 38-581-086-00.Thanks
