    Active Target pretty awesome

    Now that I have a working unit, played around today. A lot to learn, but I could easily see my jerk bait and A rig out to 40-50 feet in forward mode...saw lots of bait and fish. Learning what are bass and what’s not will be the challenge. Overall very happy with the system.

    That’s awesome to hear, I’ve been holding off on pulling the trigger. I would think anything ordered and shipped now would be issue free.

    Forgot to add my direction cone is all over the place...but I’ve already learned to ignore it.

    My replacement works perfectly, just like the images we've seen advertised and on YouTube. For the direction cone, there is an "alignment" that I thought would work. I messed around with it and changed it quite a few time but it still seems to have a mind of it's own.
    Settings/sonar/Active Target/heading offset then add or subtract, it's in degrees.

    When you say work? Not sure exactly what you mean. Did you get it on the unit?
    If so...make sure it’s turned on in the settings.

    Settings
    System
    Advanced
    check box to enable “Active Target”

    Lowrance had a lot of problems with the transducers, all the new ones coming out this month suppose to have fixed the issue.

    I’m thinking I’m about get a warranty one as my purchased one not very good , in process of gathering the info they want to make decisions, but im
    betting it’s all about the serial# on unit as I’m sure they know which ones are bad ! Time will tell once I send in the info! Sounds though plenty happy with replacement ones so obviously it’s an issue ! Great to hear

    Got to try mine today. Works great. Even the directional cone thing works. Have it on a separate pole that mounts to the Ghost. Sad part is watching fish move away from my lure. Not sure I saw a bass today, but I do think I had 2 fish following a jerkbait. I have me some learning to do with this thing.

    I’m already figuring out depth, contrast, and water clarity are big factors in what you can see. Also in forward..that cone is pretty narrow . If you drift off your cast at all. You won’t see your bait until it re enters the cone.

    So is there a solution for the “direction cone” icon? Mine is everywhere. Lol.

    Im guessing but....I say its magnetic and depends where you mount it. Mine doesn't work on the motor housing but if I take it off its pretty good.
