Lowrance Gen3 question

Brianw · Post by **Brianw** » Sun May 03, 2015 2:10 pm

I have a touch gen2 HDS9 on the consul and a touch gen3 HDS9 on the front. The Gen3 temp gauge is not showing a temperature just the two lines where the temp should be. Also the structure scan does not pick up through the Ethernet cable. I must be doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to go to the menu and make the Data Source for Structure Scan on the Gen 3 to the LSS-2 ducer. As for the temperature reading, do you have a remote sensor for the whole boat or is there a temperature sensor in the transducer on the trolling motor?

Either way, go to Network, Data Sources, Sonar and check to see that the temperature sensor for the Gen 3 is set to Local on the Scope setting. To do this, highlight Scope and hit menu. Change the setting from Global to Local and save the settings if asked.

Have a similar question, just purchased an hds 9 gen 3 but found out I need an HD transducer but the one that I was sent is the normal 83/200 tranducer. Also I have been told I need the HD SS transducer(LSS2) I have an Hds 8 gen 2. What do I need to add to get the best picture from my HDS 9 gen 3 ?
