The GPS ain;t been working on my 997 and after talking to Greg with Humminbird he said to check the pigtail at the Unit. I noticed the cap came off the cable end and he said the wires could be shorting out. HOPE that's all it is can use right now when you do a diagnostic, it says GPS UNCONNECTED
Cap has been off the pigtail on mine for a long time and mine still works fine.
Yeh, you and I talked about that Saturday. What he said is that the ends of the wires might be touching and it shorts out the signal. If this is all it is, least you'll know what it is if yours even does that
Why come it's always 1 step forward, 2,712 steps backwards with you?
Just slap some duct tape on it and you'll be good to go.

DD, didn't we talk about this already
hush you gewb, I already capped it off with Lectrical tape. The wires MAY be touching inside the casing at the tip end of it and capping it with tape wouldn't make the seperate. If they're touching, they're touching
Did you put that pretty decal on there yet :rolleyes: it may cure your problems fishing and GPS RoflRoflThumbs Up
Good luck Don....I hope you find the problem and I hope the fix is simple.
G3, you know good n well simple fix and DD don't go in the same sentence.Quote:

Ahhh grasahopper probkem aolved. It helps to actyally talk to aomeone whos what theyre talking bout. Greg was right on the money with the wires toucjhing on the pigtail. Im up n running
Good deal.
Way to go Don
Ole Greg with Humminbird is a life saver, that's for sure. I looked at it when I got home and sho nuff, you could see all 3 of the wires were meshed together. I seperated them and capped them back off. Once I turned the unit on it gave me my maps back. WHEWWWWW
that's what I always blame it on GQuote:

glad you got it fixed Don, sometimes it is just the little thing and an easy fix, now if you get lost at least you will know where your at
didn't have the screen bigger and couldn't see what I was typing Minner. PLus I was bout tired of rigging poles up last night when I posted. I HATE not being able to see the holes in the hooks as good as I used to. Dang hard to get 6 lb test line threaded inside where the lights not real good. Rigged up 11 poles last night with 6 of them being dbl rigged. Then night before last, I rigged up the other 6 so I got 17 poles ready for the weekend
there's this NEW invention that will help with that, DD.Quote:

Leave him alone Minner. He only needs 6# for the size he's catching. Hehehehe.

I thought you said smck em? Course I do see yo point. Maybe he needs to tie 10# to his green cup in case it falls overboard.Quote:
