Thread: Thank goodness for Lowrance tech support.

Took my boat out for a shakedown since it has been sitting for a few months. I had not hooked up my side scan transducer since I bought this boat last year so I wanted to get that up and running too.
When I went to structure scan the DI worked fine but when I switched to side scan the screen shown here came up. Live Scope! My DF doesn't have that function, at least not with current transducers so after fiddling with settings for a bit I gave up and called Lowrance. It took them about 20 minutes of button pushing before I got it back to normal but all's fine now.
Never did wet a hook though. Murray is still down quite a bit but they started raising it this week so hopefully it will be back up soon.

Never said what caused it. He quizzed me quite a bit to believe what unit I had.
That was the least of my issues that day. I had taken the plug out of my livewell to see how much water it would draw in case I wanted to use as livewell instead of cooler. Every livewell Ive ever had would run dry on plane with plug out. Not this one! Water overflowed the well, but I couldn't see it from the console. Noticed my speed was dropping off so i backed off throttle and my feet went under water. Duh.
Glad the weather was warm, but the water was nasty muddy.
