short video on a windy day using a Lowrance NAC-1 trolling with a 9.9 link with a 150 Mercury (hydraulic steerong)

Princecraft 186 Platinum, HDS LIVE, Mercury 150 hydraulic steering with a Lowrance NAC-1 

love it

They are 2 sizes

1156 are 3” and the 1155 are 5”

This is a very short video that shows how the Lowrance ap perform (22 sec.)

Next week I will do something better using again a Lowrance but also a Simrad GO and a Simrad EVO-3

Looks like we spent time to answer for nothing

I had those release in my boat for 2 years w/o trying it and last week I finally decide to give a try while fishing lakers and landlock on Champlain and I was very impress; fast & easy and easy to adjust.

Next time I will give a try with braid line

NICE on the graph, Any idea how the Lowrance Outboard Cable Steer Pack systems work performance wise?  Thanks

 

The computer and the Gen ? That control are the same and the motor on the wheel is a Octopus; Octopus is very well known in the AP world as the best  for the cable steer.

That being said you can expect the same result as the hydraulic model

If you link the GO with a HDS the only way is by NK2000 so you will be able to share waypoints when both unit are ON and also the ap control. The GO and the Gen can control the NAC-1 Navico AP

Excellent unit that can use the Nac1 autopilot

you should add witch transducer comes with it

And you got a better explanation on this video:

On my HDS Carbon the connector that the total scan transducer plugs into is blue and the connector on the transducer cable is blue. The blue connector on the Carbon is ch2. The blue connector on the total scan transducer wire wire will not plug into the black connector. The black which is ch1 and is a different connector type altogether.

I never seen a Totalscan transducer with a blue end connector and by the way the Lowrance Elite Ti and Ti-2 have only 1 connector for the transducer and it's black. So a Totalscan is a 9 pins Xsonic and if you want to use a HDI (downscan) you can either use a Xsonic with a black connector plug directly in the black connector or if you have a HDI with a blue connecor you then need a adapter cable from 7 to  9 pins. Show me a picture of your Totalscan with a blue connector. I'm showing you mine that comes like all the others with a Xsonic black connector and has mentionne in my previous post if you plug the Totalscan in the blue you will get: 2D, CHIRP and downscan no structurescan.

I'm running Simrad EVO-3, Simrad GO-7, HDS Carbon, HDS Live, Structurescan 3D, and more

and black is ch2. With your totalscan connect in the blue won’t give you sidescan only downscan. If you connect the Totalscan in the black it will give you 2D, CHIRP, downscan and sidescan. No need to choose the transducer in the installation menu because the Totalscan is a Xsonic and the unit recognize it.

I will try to help you out

You have 1 unit? If so check under: page-sonar if you have network sonar enable; if so disable

Then under nework, data source if you touch the arrow at the right of the screen  you will have some choices: choose reset local

Then under depth same thing be sure you are under Local and enable HDS7

Then touch the power button and choose: edit overlay then Menu and add,then choose sonar then enable depth and close

Then if this didn't work (witch I doubt) go to: Page-System then Restore defaults (you don't loose any waypoints doing this)

Let me know

So I had my buddy install a brand new transducer to the display. We are now getting an appropriate water temp. But everything is still showing up as invalid in the installation settings. We’ve tried powering down the unit and turning it back on. We have the proper transducer model selected. Wtf is going on with this display?

 

 

everything on Local instead of global

Screen capture with the TM 150 on a fix freq over 300ft of water

I use a Airmar TM-150 and I'm very satisfy.

As Chirp continues to redefine recreational fishing, AIRMAR has expanded the lineup of broadband transducers to satisfy the growing demand for this game changing technology. New to the market are the B150M and TM150M, economical Chirp transducers designed for offshore fishing and freshwater anglers. Operating at a frequency range of 95-155 kHz, these transducers reveal fish in shallow, murky waters at medium depths (up to 2,500 feet*) along with ultra-clear target resolution.

This is a Transom Mount model in the Chirp product line. The TM150 is an excellent choice for freshwater anglers and Chirps across the following bandwidth:

95-155 khz

Did you try restore?

Excellent point!

The only negative with with a tablet is the screen is not always easy under sunlight

Thanks for all the help. I appreciate it. I think I'm going with another Elite Ti and network them.

You won't be able to share sonar between 2 Ti but could do it with the new Ti-2 and between 2 ti 2; not only the sonar but the map and waypoints also and all by wifi
