HDS-8 Update

Ok. The way things are rolling around here today maybe I can get a word in edge wise and actually get some responses from people that are knowledgeable of the subject matter.
Saturday I got the HDS-8 installed at my console, and moved the old HDS-5 to the bow of the boat, and installed the LSS-2 under the console. Only had to call WB once since my good buddy BRM was partying in Hot Springs and wouldn't answer my phone calls. I didn't get a chance to water test it until yesterday. Everything seemed to work fine EXCEPT, the HDS-8 temp doesn't work and both units seem to shift back and forth between the two transducers at will. I think the temp is working off of the HDS-5 and LSS-2 transducers but not the HDS-8 transducer. As for the transducers switching, I can select which transcuder to use, return a few minutes later and it has changed to the other transducer.
Please help!

Talk to CanePole or post on BassBoat Central

I would help u but come to find out I was second choice the first time. I play second fiddle to NO ONE.

Also u are banned from all FJs. Barbie and your daughter are still welcome.

I called BRM first cause I knew he wouldn't try to extort a free fish finder from me.

A thread about fishing... What do you think this is? A fishing forum?:)

y'all a bunch of ignert gewbers. I was starting to think I was the only fool that spent a bucket of money for a high tech fish finder I can't operate. None of y'all know how to fix it.

Did you try posting this on the fishing electronics forum?..

It's real simple. Three key strokes. Prolly worth an x4

You guys help him out and quit trying to get him stirred up. You know he is on Meds and could go off any time.

X100. I'm stayin over tonite n going fishin in the am, n if y'all get him started....so help me I will get everyone of u.

ATM ifn I used Lowrance I would help you out.

I am too lazy to go look at the exact keystrokes right now but mine did the same thing. It is an option under the network setting on the main menu, you have to change it to local. if not it will try and network off one ducer or the other.

Thanks.

Call me ATM, I'm home now!!! I sold it to ya, and I can fix it for ya!!! I made my 8" bow unit the master when both units are on so both units read off the TM SONAR ducer, and the 10" dash unit works on its own SONAR transducer when the front 8" is off. It's easy, but I've never had em try to switch ducers before. Network sets up the GPS, Radar, etc., but I think ya gotta go to the SONAR setup to tell em which SONAR ducer to use. I might be wrong, I need to look at mine tomorrow to tell ya. A few keystrokes will tell me. Don't have the book memorized, I just look at the menus. The LSS-2 structure scan ducer shares with both units (and up to 3 units) anyway.
