It is common for some Lowrance MFDs to read 1 volt lower than actual if the transducer is stopped.

Can you post a pic of how the transducer is mounted?

My local lake is about 4,000 acres. There seems to be non-stop tournaments going on. I love to fish, but purely recreational. The tournaments are an aggravation to work around when it comes to the...

Ever seen how much a boat trailer flexes without a boat on it? The boat acts as a structural member of the trailer when secured to the trailer, typically at 3 points (1 front winch and 2 rear...

Course up = is direction of travel, not necessarily planned travel (depends on if navigation is active or not).
Heading up = Direction you are pointed

On my console unit I have both heading and...

I use both.

North up on easy to navigate lakes. If using lake features to navigate, north up is better for me.

On lakes that have channel markers or lots of submerged obstacles, I like 3d mode...

I light coat of food grade silicone grease on all contact points keeps it moving freely.

I believe he is talking about the head sensor. It is an encoder that is belt driven from the trolling motor shaft gear. It is the part that has the magnet on it that interacts with the pointer on the...

Not buying it.

Heading sensors are one dimensional. Your heading can be true north but your course could be due west. So the heading sensor would be of no value in indicating which way the...

If you say so.

We are talking spot lock where the wind can change heading without trolling motor propulsion. All the heading sensor does is allow the trolling motor to identify which way to jog if...

At the end of the day, GPS capabilities are simply not what some people perceive them to be.

If you have Lowrance MFD, go to settings / System / Satellites to see the GPS accuracy.

I second the advice to go with HDS Live or Pro units over at least one of the FS units.

I started out with 2 FS 9 units. After a year, I switched to HDS Live units. Not exactly sure why, but the...

I ran a MotorGuide Tour Pro for a while. The tour pro heading sensor would compete with the Point 1 as the primary heading source. You can get around this by assigning one of the heading sensors an...

I had my AT2 wired up and working for months. AT2 yellow wire to a switched "+" from battery. It worked this way from last spring up until a couple of weeks ago when I installed this latest update.

Just a heads up, after updating my AT2 to the latest software, the functionality of the yellow wake up wire stopped working. De-energizing the yellow wire would put it to sleep, but re-energizing the...

Turn on MFD and AT2, everything works. Turn off switch to remove power from AT yellow wire, no source, as expected. Turn on switch to reapply 12v to AT yellow wire, no source indefinitely. Unplug...

Sonar still pings when sonar is off or in standby. It just pings with less intensity.

Glad you got it worked out :beers:
