So, what’s the verdict on 25.1?

[78Staff]

I ended up finding a TM150 used for $150 to add to my transom , i'll get temp now AND Chirp!

Nice, yeah if I had more deeper water around, I would likely check out an Airmar but unless I'm in the channel most of my fishing is 8-10ft or less... I think my next big change will either be adding HB (SI+, DI+, VX Mapping) at the console, or pulling HB alltogether and going with dual LVS34's, ie two Garmin's on bow and keeping the two HDS Pro's at the console. Can't decide lol...

this my second trip on the water with 25.1 . I have a live 9 inch live on my console with a 3 in 1 on sonar channel 2 and a in hull on sonar channel 1 a 16 inch live on my bow with a 3 in 1 and AT2 . I fixed the problem i had with the 9 inch showing no depth sourced from the in hull on channel one by using the sonar , depth local and selecting the last box i think its is page selected . It works fine now so i am now a happy 25.1 user,

I've installed 25.1 to all units including AT without issue. I always double check on the unit that the unit is up to date by going in and manually reading that software is up to date, which it is: 25.1. However, when I start units I get an indicator to no power off as the unit is updating. I don't remember this from before and makes me doubt the update even though units show latest and greatest 25.1

Common issue with Pro's - only Pro's for some reason. The "updating" message "sticks". It's not hurting anything, but hopefully Lowrance corrects it along with a few other issues that cropped up with 25.1

Does it seem to anyone else the delay on AT 2 is worse after the update? I've only been out twice since the update, and it'll be a couple weeks before I can go out again. When I do, I'll try some different pallets and contrast settings. Before the update I ran the contrast 84-88, after the update it's down to 80-84. After the update the noise rejection has to be on medium or at minimum low and I feel my small jigs are harder to see on the screen.

The next time I go out I'll have the previous AT 2 software version on a card and will revert to it if I feel it's needed.

Still in SoCalfor another week, then off to Washington DC for work until the first week of May so won't be on my boat until then.

Hi Marc,
Since you're home and and posting vids again, wanted to follow-up and see if you could post a vid showing how you have your sources setup with 25.1 and working SS3D Temp Sensor. As neither myself, Team Colibri or NoCal seem to be able to get it working :(.

I've added an NMEA temp sensor in the interim, but sure would like to get the SS3D Temp working again.

Thanks

I will be fishing tournaments for the next two weeks from my tournament partner's boat in eastern Washington but will get to it when the time is right. But if nobody else can get it working then maybe mine was reading from a different source; like I said I have a half dozen on my boat.

Updated to 25.1 this week, Using AT1, very impressed with the difference and clarity. I am seeing fish 90ft out.

[NoCAL]

I’ve now lost my temp from my PDRT! The source was there for a bit but said invalid. Now the source is gone. Correct transducer in s still selected in the Installation menu. It’s always something

[ser68]

I have at1 i cant see my bait hit the water anymore and when i do see my bait it starts quarter way down the screen tried the angle offset to no avial. I have live 12s with fish obsensed mount.

Man, seems like they really fubar'd temp on this one :(. I swear Lowrance breaks something in every release it seems like.

I gave up and bought a used 80R to get me by... but hoping they will figure it out.

[BMCD]

My temp was not reading before installed 25.1 prolly needed to re configured. after it now works.

[reelman]

Installed 25.1 late 5/15/25 into 9” HDS bow unit …
the dash 12 inch n bow 9 inch are networked…
due to heat n drought here may not water test on the SJR this month…
will post impressions when tested

[htbboats]

I have noticed there does seem to be more of a delay in the new version but all else appears better.

Well I've been accused of complaining about the broken SS3D temp sensor in 25.1 too much, so this will likely be my last post on the subject. After some back and forth with Lowrance Support for the past month, their solution is to either to just downgrade to the previous version, or use the current version without temp and wait for the next update which "which is expected to resolve the issue."

Now, I suspect that is just support talk for "we don't know, stop bothering us", but it is what it is. I guess it will just fall into the que with...

Broken custom freq with Airmar (actually, did they fix that recently?)
Orbit for Ghost
Broken voltage sensor in Ghost 1.3
HD360 Nosecone
etc...

Another Great job by the IT crew. Lot clearer now I can see my bait and fish show up much better.
