What year is your boat It's a 2009 with a Mercury 90hp Opti. But I have a Lowrance Ghost with Lowrance 360 on the front with Lowrance active target and a Lowrance Carbon 7'. Then on the back I have a Lowrance carbon 12 with a point 1 puck and the heavy duty wiring run to my fish finders/gps and the...

I was trying to see what equipment to leave on or if it was better to sell base boat and either keep or sell the add-on's I didn't see a good way to determine what the extra's are worth.

Thanks though

I looked at their site seems more for bigger boats and not equipped as a bass boat.
Most of the stuff I have isn't even listed as it really is

Thanks

Rod Martin

I am thinking about selling my boat but have no idea how to price it.

any help ?

Rod Martin

Thank you
I’m going over in the morning to give him a hand and to have a lookout to call 911 when I hit the wrong wires ,

Rod Martin

Back before time began I think Minn Kota made a 12/24 volt trolling motor. My friend"s TM was hit by a car . He has removed it but will be a while before it's back. He has an old Minn Kota (MAYBE A MOTOR GUIDE)off a 1991 Ranger boat 12/24 TM with 3 wires. White- Black -Red to run it as a 24 vol...

Rod Martin

Have you always had 36 volt system or did you up grade. I think for TM takes a 60 amp circuit breaker and I would check the wiring size
again I don't know what boat you have. But that's a start

Yes

My app is Version 2.02

The battery I had a problem with is back at their plant being checked

Just got my reply from Lowrance to my question How long can I run on max it was As long as your power supply lasts. :shock: Wise guys hey? It depends on many factors. Boat weight Is there current?

Just got my reply from Lowrance to my question

How long can I run on max

it was

As long as your power supply lasts.

Rod Martin

I am considering lithium myself when it’s time for batteries These story’s are discouraging. If I learn how they work and understand them maybe It can be a battery I buy Buy from a well known local dealer near you. Then you have someone local to call if you do have a problem. yes , If you have a lo...

Rod Martin

Reading this thread makes me think these smart chargers and lithium battlers are like smart cars Smart means dumb I have a small boat but fish thru pads and heavy grass, thought a 36 volt TM would be great BUT my 177TR Ranger is not rated for much weight so 14lbs per battery is much better than 60 ...

Rod Martin

While your waiting for one battery to get to you, why don't you run your ghost as a 24v set up. When your third one gets in, switch it back. That saved me one day on the water when I had a battery go out. That's the plan I'm hooking them up 24 volt this morning when I remove the bad battery and fis...

Rod Martin

OK I did as the Battery guy told me , took the boat out fishing and ran the problem battery down to 20%. other 2 down to 60% Brought it home put to charger --- ZIP-- , But charger showed 1 yellow light and after a few min. showed 2 yellow and flashed a red light for a sec. on bad battery and 1 yello...

I'm not as good at getting down into those compartments as I used to be Rod, that's what cellphone cameras with a flash are for.

Rod, if I understand your situation correctly, you are trying to balance your trolling motor batteries since one is out of balance. Because one is running lower SOC than the other two, you need to deplete the other 2, and not the one that is running lower than the other two. This is why I suggested...

Rod Martin

Thanks for all replys . It's easier than trying to get down and see which battery is the one I need to run down.

I see a serial number or something on my phone app but not sure which battery it relates too and I don't bend down for close looks to good anymore.

Rod Martin

I have 3 50ah Ionic lithium batteries on my TM after my last trip one of the batteries only showed 61% after charging the others 100% or 99%. I very seldom use more than 30% during a fishing trip . Called the battery company was told to run them down to 20 to 25% and recharge to reset that one batte...

Rod Martin

So if I shut off main power and run a jumper from that battery to my boat system and turn on my running lights ?

Leave on over night /

Rod Martin

How long can I run my TM on Max ? Say my main motor dies and I head to the ramp on TM. set up on 36 volts How long and what should I run it on ? Reason I ask , I charged my TM batteries and 1 is showing 61% charge rest are 100%. I was told to run them down to 25% or so and then recharge to reset cal...

Rod Martin

I use Phenix UMBX 703 xh with a curado 150 or a SIX 150. Light a Little shorter which works for me so I can work it all day.

Good for 3/8's to 11/2oz.

20 years ago I had it Got the strap and the gyro ball within a week problem solved. Here recently I have gotten the same problem again. Couldn't find my old stuff :lol: So I used a rod wrap until I could get the wrap and an elbow sleeve, bought the gyro ball and at 70 it took a little longer to wor...

Rod Martin

I think Steve Merlo had an 17 or 18 out of Issy way back in the 80's

Rod Martin

Do you still have the UMBX 7'3" XH ?

Thanks

Rod Martin

Has anyone found another prop that will fit the ghost.

Love the TM but hate the prop. I have a grass cutter on it but the rounded blade doesn't seem to cut anything and with the blade built the way it is weeds get wrapped between the grass cutter and the prop.

Thanks

Rod Martin

on the 904 will you ship ?

Rod Martin

IMX or GLX in Loomis.

Phenix UMBX flipping or super flipper

Have to be the older ones that collapse to 6'6" to fit my rod locker

Must be willing to ship ( I pay shipping cost) retired fixed income can't pay a million dollars

Can you set up a water temp line on the Carbon ? I want some way to set up a temp line on my graph while I am slowing looking for brush piles or fish holding areas. Something that would show a underwater spring feeding the lake or a temp line from water coming into a lake from a creek. Can that be d...

Rod Martin

Problem solved

The active imaging 3-1 replaced my other and gives me a fantastic view of the lake.

Plugs direct into the unit without any additions.

Rod Martin

After posting and buying some reg ones to change . I came across a FB page for Norman Lures, They have everything. I posted a picture of what I needed and bought 17 deep little N's Suspending in about 1 hr. AND they were the color I needed

Thanks everyone

Rod Martin

Looking for Norman Deep Little N Suspending crank baits. Seems there are thousands of the floating but no suspending. Looking for them in the bright fire tiger / Chartreuse blue back but would take any at a reasonable price and paint. Anyone know of a source for these ? The few sites I saw that list...

Rod Martin

After talking with someone from California with experience with Lowrance I'm going to try a active imaging 3-1 transducer to see if that fixes the problem I have.

Rod Martin

Thanks to everybody that replied

Got a plan and looks like my problem will work it self out

Rod Martin

Am looking at the Hook and the Elite TI2 as alternates at less cost.

I remember when there was Lowrance and Eagle both good units but fewer adjustments on the Eagle.

I had an Eagle and it was a good unit wonder about these 2

Rod Martin

Guess its nice to know I'm not the only one but would be better if none of us were .LOL

My boat dealer is trying to get someone out to at least decide which part it is

Rod Martin

I have had Lowrance since they were a box with a red dot. But have ben disappointed with my Carbon. Over the next year or so I want to buy a new TM and front and back units, Since I retired to Florida most of my fishing is shallow with a down scan and a good side scan working to 25' all I need Curre...

I use a 7' Phenix UMB in ML Here in Florida I keep 2 of them on deck 1 with braid and 1 with 20lb Floro.
I can see and feel the fish and have the backbone to pull out of the trash. Best Rod I have ever owned and I moved to them from Loomis

I've owned boats for 50 years and every day was a happy day.

Only bad days were when there wasn't a boat in my driveway

Rod Martin

Yeah, I think it's time to do the reveal. The reel is an Abu Garcia Black Max and the rod is a Fenwick Silver Hawk II (SX/66M-FC, 1/4-5/8 lure, 8-17lb line) (Black and Silver...must have been a Raiders fan, that and it had a black frog tied on). It feels more like an MH than a M. It had braid on it...
