Solix and Ultrex help needed, its a mess
I bought a new boat last year, my first. I have owned many other boats but always bought them used and being able to rig and color a boat exactly as you want was something special. Every other boat I owned came rigged with Lowrance and I wanted a change so I rigged the new boat with (2) 15" Solix Mega and for the most part they have been great.
The bow unit being a Mega DI was not being utilized at its full potential with just the standard US2 puck built into the Ultrex and when they came out with a new Ultrex/ Mega DI tranducer I had to buy one, this is where my trouble started.
Originally I could not get the front Solix to read, I keep getting a "Ping Disabled" pop up on the screen. When on the lake I figured out the picture I was looking at on the front Solix was actually a duplicate of the back transducer.
Saturday last I had a tournament and that Friday I made some additional changes thinking it would work but while waiting for blast off I turned on both units and the bow would not read at all.
Naturally this is a killer, waiting for our number to be called and no graph so I try to put it back to the way it was Friday and I did get it to work up front but now it would not read at the console.
Needless to say I have no clue what I am doing or what to do at this point.
AND to make matters even worse, spot lock no longer functions so either I had a brand new TM failure or I figured out a way to turn it off with the graph settings.
Does anyone know if Humminbird has a tech line that I can talk to or a reccomendation on where to go?
By the way, its really strange how quickly you get used to spot lock as compared to not havimg it !!
