I'm really starting to wish I'd left the hub alone. I got a 1.25" threaded coupler as someone suggested, and it did fit the OD of the wear sleeve nicely. The biggest problem and what took the...
Well, I set out to remove the wear ring today. Didn't even try to remove it with pipe wrench or anything since it seemed everyone else had better luck scoring with Dremel. Of course, I ground right...
Thanks for the info!
Is this the correct seal, replacement sleeve, and O-ring I'd need for the sleeve? This is a 2005 single axle trailer with the UPF drop axles. OD of wear sleeve/spindle measures 1.687".
May be what I'll do. I have a feeling this thing isn't going to come off easily but it sounds as though using a Dremel tool to score it and then pry with screwdriver may be the best way. If I...
I noticed the last time I was out, I had some grease slung onto the inside of one of the trailer wheels. I have a Stratos single axle trailer that was built with Dexter/UFP parts. I took the hub...
Sorry - between working on telescopes and guitars and trying to squeeze in fishing, I don't get much time to post online. Hell, I'm used to being ignored. Don't know how many times I posted on here...
There is a MG Trolling motors FB page that is separate from the corporate page. That's where I "squeaked" loudly and finally got recognized. There are a couple of "angels" lurking there (angels...
Let the healing begin...
UPDATE: A Motorguide tech reached out to me on the FB Motorguide page and is sending me an update dongle via UPS tomorrow. Said 23 have been shipped out and 200 more are labeled and on the way out....
The newest update from MG regarding the update dongle. Spoke to Larry this morning and sounds like 18 dongles total were sent out to dealers across the US. Unless you're lucky enough to live within...
Here you go https://www.motorguide.com/us/en/service.html?fbclid=IwAR0WowztEa_rNzUFmcuOk0f8667ATxtaCRI4PqCJlg7WzBo28jDxhRyLuJs
Video at bottom of page shows installation of update via dongle. ...
Sorry, but I only check in periodically. It would be a good idea to establish a list of dealers that have the dongle. It's my understanding you must first contact Motorguide and open a case using...
I have too. It's nice to know there is a fix out there, but still frustrating not knowing when the fix will happen. Some already have it. You can call into MG and depending on who you get on the...
Just curious, are you a programmer or coder? I had someone else just send me an update that was written to resolve the popup error stating "update required for trolling motor" (another issue which...
Unfortunately I have a Simrad up front at the trolling motor. It's the Simrad Go7, which I bought before the Lowrance and actually like better as it's total touchscreen. It doesn't work with the TM...
I believe I covered that part in my post.
Specifically this section:
UPDDIR="$(dirname "${UPDFILE}")"
THISCODENAME="$(grep CODENAME /etc/updater/updater.conf | cut -d= -f2)"...
Unfortunately, the update you're referring to is an update that simply stops the message from popping up when the trolling motor, depth finder, and NMEA network are not powered on in a certain...
The Xi3/Xi5 networked with Lowrance electronics was a partnership by both Navico and Mercury that both companies promoted and advertised as a way to map routes and waypoints using your Lowrance...
I have an Elite 9Ti that Lowrance has not issued an update for since 2018. The Ti2, on the other hand, is still receiving updates. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever tried this and been...
Thanks! No, it didn't push me away from fishing but it certainly didn't encourage me to go out and fish more. It would be a lie if I said it hasn't been a thorn in my side for the past 2 years,...
Don't give up - yet! It does sound like this new update, which Motorguide is now rolling out to service centers, addresses all of these issues and more and after flashing the new firmware, the...
Well, that explains why they finally did something about it. Me and 5,000 other people have been complaining to them and Lowrance for the past 2 years and they just acted like the issue didn't...
Apparently Motorguide has finally acknowledged the issue and is sending out update dongles to dealers as I type this. They did some beta testing with the update over the past several months and it...
I've decided to take up the mantel of attempting to fix the communication issues that plague newer Motorguide Xi5/Xi3 trolling motors and Lowrance units. I have pinpointed the issue to be the newer...
