    PP on Lowrance

    I've blue toothed my pp's to both of my HDS units. Is there a way to keep the pp's 'chained' together on the units? It seems I have to remember to re-chain them each time I take the boat out. BTW, this is a great feature!! I don't need the floor buttons now.

    I think this is going to be on the Lowrance side. Maybe give them a call or post in Lowrance forum. The 1st thing I would do is update the Lowrance unit or make sure you are running the latest and greatest. Seems updates tend to fix a lot of little things like this.

    I know this is a long shot, but can this be done with Humminbird units? Probably not, because Minn Kota and Humminbird are the same parent company. Worth a shot to ask though!!

    Lowrance just updated the software on the gen3, carbon and elite Ti units with a new side bar menu for add ons. On the one for power poles, there is a chain symbol that links the two units to work at the same time.
