I'm still having trouble with Global and Local settings. Could it be a problem with NMEA 2k?
I can't view sonar from the TM on one unit and view sonar from a different source on another unit. If I change source on one unit it changes it on all units. I've tried all different kinds of resets, updates, local global. I've tried taking both gen2 9touch units off the network. I've tried taking the gen3 7 off, and also the Carbon 9 off. Heck, I even hooked the old gen2 9touch units together with nothing else, still can't select a different source for each unit. It's got to be some setting, but for the life of me I can't find it.
My setup.
Console - Carbon 9 ,3in1
Console - gen2 9touch, shoot thru puck(Ranger installed)
Bow - gen3 7, HDI
Bow - gen2 9touch, no ducer (I do have the MinnKota cone mounted available)
Point 1
temp sensor
All units connected with Lowrance network and NMEA 2k.
I normally use the gen2 9touch units for Map and 2d sonar only. This setup has worked very well,....until.
I'll try to make this brief, but the story started almost two months ago. I normally don't fish much in the summertime, I don't like the heat anymore. I also added a shop beside my house this spring for the boat and truck. The shop was finished in late May and the boat moved into its new home. The next few weeks were spent on dirt and sod work around the shop. I also had to move all my "stuff"/tools/frig....into the shop. One morning walking into the shop I saw a healthy looking Rat jogging across the shop floor (more on him later). I also managed to find time to take everything out of the boat to clean and organize.
First time out this summer, just a couple days after organizing the boat, I pulled up to my first spot and found out I had no sonar on the trolling motor and my network was acting all messed up. I don't think it's wiring related because the units are never disconnected. When I got home I decided to do a hard reset thinking it might fix everything. And since I now have wifi in the shop I might as well install any updates available. No change. I decided to check some wiring. Removed the bow panel and found the home of what I assume is that rat I saw jogging around the shop(he has since deceased). The HDI cable was chewed clean in half and one of my Lowrance ethernet cables was nicked up.
I ordered a new HDI transducer for the TM and decided to upgrade the old lss1 on the Carbon to the 3in1. I also ordered all new Lowrance network cables. Everything seems to be working except the global/local settings.
