Reply With QuoteCanePole(Tom), made me a power supply for my Lowrance units with a 1 amp AC adapter. I ordered a power cord from Lowrance with 12v end to plug into the adapter.
Works great.

I just wanted to ask what you guys are using for a power source in the house for your units? I'm wanting to do software updates and look at recordings.
I don't want to cook my new unit lol
as always thank you all

I used a portable 12V "jumper battery" (jump start battery) from Wal-Mart and a extra power/tdx cord that came with the unit that I bought from a member.

I have a HB 1158 and a 998 unit, if I make display changes while using it in the house will it be the same when I hook it up in my boat.

I need to order a power cord to get this done myself. I have a 12volt battery pack I built to charge cell phones and run a submersible led light while I am bank fishing.

I use an old AC Adapter from a Directv receiver and i wired it into the power cable. Output rated @1.5A 18Watts.

If you buy a AC to 12volt adapter I would buy local, I ordered one online that advertised 1 amp but it wouldn't run my units, cost as much to send it back as I paid for it.

I use the power supply that came with my external DVD/cd player. It's 12v, so I just spliced a cig adapter socket into the output power cord. 2.5 amps.

That depends on what display changes you make skeeter96 (they should remember most of them but not all) and also what operational mode the units are running in when you make the changes. There are basically three different operational modes:Originally Posted by skeeter96
Normal mode. This is the operational mode that the unit goes into if it detects that a transducer is connected. It remembers most menu settings and is what you usually get when using the unit on your boat.
Simulator mode. This is the mode that the unit will default to if only the power cable is connected to it. It is has also been called the “Automatic (Auto) Simulator” and “Demonstration (Demo)” mode. It will reset the menus back to its demonstration settings after no buttons are pressed for about two minutes. It remembers no menu setting changes or edits of the GPS Info.
(Forced) Simulator mode. You have to manually force the unit into this version of the Simulator mode. It is basically the same except that it will remember all changes to the menus and GPS Info that it would remember if it had been running in the Normal operating mode.
You can enter the (Manual) Simulator mode in only one way:
With or without a transducer connected to the unit; press the power key and while the Title Screen (“998c Si” is displayed) is being displayed; press the MENU key. You will than see several menu selections. If it is not already highlighted/selected, use the Four-Way Arrow keys to select “Simulator”. Than either use the Right Arrow key to start this mode or some units will ‘time out’ and start the selected mode automatically.
