    Lowrance Elite Ti - Networking Questions

    NMEA 2000 can have as many units as you want. But to share waypoints, they all need to be on when the waypoint is created. The waypoints won't sync among units like the will with Ethernet.

    Lowarance Hds-10 Gen 2

    Are you talking about the Amplitude Scope? The section on the right hand side? That is basically a flasher type sonar that shows instantaneous returns from the water column. You can turn it off in the Sonar menu.

    Nitro 188 FS vs Tracker V175 Combo

    I also owned a 188 for a few years and would recommend it on ONE condition. Make sure it has the max horsepower. If it has the 115 that so many were rigged with, I can't recommend it. My main reasons for selling the boat was it could not get on plane with more than 3 people, it could not pull up...

    Carolina Rig

    I use 50lb braid for the main line and the Mojo Rockhopper weights in 1/2 to 5/8 oz sizes. The rockhoppers get hung up way less and you can really feel the bottom with braid. For leader, I usually use 8lb flouro. One of my main fish catching techniques this time of year. I'm usually fishing...

    Bait Caster

    If you can find a used Curado 50E, it will accomplish what you want. I use a Diawa Sol for my very light applications but I don't think they are made anymore. A used one of them might be hard to find but they are great for light baitcasting. NoCAL

    Lowrance 500C

    The Lowrance 500c is a portable GPS navigator for your car. Are you perhaps talking about an LMS-520? If so, try doing a soft reset to get everything back to factory defaults then go from there. I can't remember how to do it but the instructs for hard and soft reset are on the Lowrance forum at...

    Cable cover

    I got mine from Cable Organizer. I bought 6' so I can replace if needed but so far it's lasted 2 seasons. NoCAL

    LGC 4000 external GPS antenna

    Best place to mount is directly over your transducer. That is the main purpose of getting an external. If your don't put it over or at least near your transducer, you are just as well not getting it and using the internal of an HDS. If this is for a different model, it still makes sense to put...

    Thoughts - Procraft 180 Combo w/150XR6

    I would have my doubts that a 150 could pull a single ski with 3-4 people in an 18' boat. With the right prop and a good skier, you might be able to get them up but it's going to be asking alot of that motor. I'd be looking for a 19 footer with a 200 min. I fished from a fish and ski for about 2...

    Trolling motor installation

    As mentioned the holes might or might not line up but you can remove the side panel from the Minnkota and there is another set of holes that will line up. NoCAL

    Bought a new Z 7 - Thanks Nitro Owners

    I believe any boat from '08 or possibly '10 forward has the correct EPA recommended fuel lines. NoCAL

    smartcraft-Lowrance

    That is the Level 3 MercMonitor that I was describing in my post. It has NMEA 2000 connections to output data to any NMEA 2000 device, like an HDS unit. NoCAL

    smartcraft-Lowrance

    YOu are on the right path but a little off. Mercury Smartcraft run off a proprietary system that is NOT compatible with NMEA 2000. Yamaha and Evinrude can both connect directly to a NMEA 2000 network with a cable that does cost about $80. To get data on an HDS from those engines you just connect...

    Transducer placement on Pro 175 TWX

    Since the prop rotates to the right there could be an issue with water being thrown more that way than to the left. I can't imagine that is the issue but if there is a service issue and the dealer will change it over for you, why not do it? NoCAL

    Buying a hand gun

    If you already had a handgun, you could bring it into CA but you could not carry it. In an RV it would have to be in a locked area seperate from the ammo. You are not allowed to purchase any handgun if not a resident of the state. I have MANY types of firearms that are legally acquired here in...

    Cover for 2010 nitro 189 sport

    The ones from Bass Pro fit pretty good but they aren't cheap. I got one when I had a 188. I put an cheap Walmart cover over the BassPro one and left it outside all year long. Never got wet inside. Here's a link...

    '98 Nitro 185 Sport SF - Does it have a battery charger?

    I have a 4 bank charger on my Triton. Many will say the motor will charge the starter battery enough to not need it hooked up to a charger. But with electronics, lights, and livewells all running and fishing on the trolling motor most of the day, I've found my starter gets pretty discharged. So...

    Depth Finder not reading when on plane

    With some boat configurations, water flowing off the hull will disrupt the transducer. For it to read the transducer must be sitting in smooth, flowing water. If there are any air bubbles, the transducer won't read. As mentioned, placement is important too. The mid-line of the Skimmer transducer...

    LED necessities

    I only installed deck lights front and back. I soldered all connections so there was a need for that plus more wire. I also filled in the tiny holes in the hull with 5200 so they were completely waterproof. I hooked mine into a spare ACC switch on the dash. I also don't use them as much as I...

    Nitro 750 mods ?

    My Optimax also has an in-line fuel and water filter. They don't recommend another one due to fuel starvation issues. NoCAL
