What settings did you change? It appears that you have the sensitivity set too high and the surface clutter setting is too high. Start by resetting everything to the factory defaults. Lowrance,...
Carlos, someone else also told me the same thing this morning. I think I will try using aluminum plate.
Thank you bassbama. You have saved me a lot of grief.
Bassbama,
Thanks for the valuable info. You did a great job on the replacement panel! I think I may try reinforcing it with bondo. Did yours crack in the middle section or out past the recess...
Does anyone know if a Lowrance Elite 7 will fit in the recess of the bow panel of a 2011 Z118? The panel recess appears to measure 9.25" and the template from Lowrance lists the max width at 9.26"...

Contact Ranger and ask to speak to their performance personnel. They will be able to tell you what the setting below the pad the center line of the prop should be.
The jerkbait special is a beautifully made rod with every attention to detail. The helix construction results in a tip section that is just a too stiff for fishing jerkbaits but that's just my...
Gary Dobyns himself uses a 704CB and a 705CB. Hands down Dobyns and Shimano have the best warrantees in the industry.
Here are a few items that are not normally considered, mentioned by insurance agents and not part of a standard marine policy: Full replacement - in the event that the boat is a total loss the...
I have a 2011 Z-118 with a 150 Merc Optimax Pro. The speedo is a split gauge (speedo and fuel). The speedo registers 20mph when I energize the ignition switch and won't re-zero. I've had the gauge...
Couldn't get any feedback so I went ahead and sprung for the rod. I had a chance to test it on the water and was pleasantly surprised. Casting accuracy is outstanding as is sensitivity. I put it...
+1 on the Dobyns 765
Dobyns hands down!
Is anyone using one of these shaky head rods? I know these are very sensitive. How do you like the tip action? Would it be a good choice for texas rigs (upto 5/8oz) since it has heavy backbone...
The thermostats and poppets checked out o.k. The pressure at idle is still around 1.6 - 2.0psi. After installation of the scoops, pressure at WOT and full tilt increased from 13.5 to 17. Since I...
Thanks Don,
Actually you were the one that suggested the inlet kit to help solve my high speed low pressure issue. I agree the factory hardware would work but I just am not a fan of self tapper...
I recently installed the subject scoop kit to improve high speed water pressure on my 2011 Pro XS 150. First test after install indicated that at 5400 rpm pressure increased from 14.5 to 17 psi so...

What's your thoughts on sensitivity and the new handle? General overall thoughts and comments?
Yup, same thing happened to my 2011 Pro XS. Your exactly correct. The replacement reservoirs have been redesigned. Rangerhgm should have seen a fault on his Smartcraft that said low engine oil.
I would like to hook-up my Humminbird 788ci HD DI Combo unit to my Smartcraft to be able to utilize the engine monitor screen on the Humminbird. I believe the Smartcraft is a SC1000 but I'm not...
After the water pump was replaced I noted the following readings from the smart craft - @ idle 540 rpm - pressure 1.7 - temp 158, @1000 rpm - pressure 4.8 - temp 161, @2500 rpm - pressure 6.1 - temp...
Recently both the front and rear locator shut off at with the motor at about 4000 rpm. The console Humminbird screen went from navigation mode to a frozen screen with just multiple vertical...
