Today while fishing my HDS Live 9 alarm went off telling me "Auto pilot computer not connected" or something to that effect. Alarm showed on console too. Then the Ghost Motor shut down and wouldn't operate. Turned boat completely off (after turning both HDS units off), waited 5 min and pow...

Today I received the shaft mount for Active Target from Lowrance. Special Thanks goes to Missy in the corporate office for all her hard work.

Just wondering if it's common that you have to pedal down (heel) and tap the power button to get your Ghost to release so it can be stowed?

Yesterday while fishing DMO TOC, Ric and I discovered a sunken boat in old river where it intersects with Holland Tract just north of Rhode Island. There is about 30 ft of line where it appears someone tried to tow it free floating. Couldn't read the CF numbers. It's pretty visible with the bow stra...

Thanks Jim.
I could've driven to Tennessee and back and did the install by now. Tracy's "Black Hole" strikes again.

Bought a new Ranger 3 weeks ago and dealer kept active target(AT) box and hardware. Went to Lowrance site and purchased a shaft mount (no local availability) to mount the transducer as I forgot to tell the dealer to shaft mount the AT transducer. There was no option but to ship ground thru FedEx. On...

Just received a phone message from WON Bass's Bill Egan that this charity event benefiting Boys and Girls Clubs of Stockton has been postponed until maybe November. Bummed to hear this, looks like it would've been fun.

Smoke, A lot depends on what you want to do. There are a lot of free editing software programs such as DaVinci Resolve, or subscriptions like Adobe's Premiere Pro (I believe they have a free trial period). I've used Pinnacle (for dvd production weddings and family events etc). It was a great entry l...

Skip, I'll second Jay Liu. Although no longer in the bay area, he knows more about electric motors than most people. He's one of those guys (imho) who Minn Kota would call if they had a problem. :D He can tell you about the Ghost too, although he is not an authorized dealer. Check him out, you won't...

Anyone else having trouble with their Ranger Z series fuel gauges. Purchased new boat last Thursday, 2021 Z series, called dealer on Friday with promise to call me on Sat with options on gauge fix. Crickets from dealer. Figure I'd give you all a try before going to KB or having to drive a few hours ...

Jim, The answer is yes. I just received my western lakes reveal yesterday and according to the enclosed info it says shading can be done.

Thanks Guys. Tried the lowrance site and all it did was tell me who the dealers were.

Fast Eddie

OK Northern California. Other than that it doesn't matter, as I'm trying to figure out if I have to ship it or can I drive to it.

Having been a Boy Scout, the "Be Prepared" motto holds true. Anyone know where the closest service center for ghost motors is?

Fast Eddie

The answer was the $250 card has all the ocean data according to the GPS store back east.

Fast Eddie

Now that I know "C map" is the chart to use for the new lowrance, what is the difference between the reveal map west $250. and the c map reveal lakes west $169. Is it only off shore capability?

The wifey just ok'd a new boat (Ranger 520 c). Having been a humminbird guy for 20+years, this is my first foray into lowrance (ghost motor and electronics), so the question is what chip will I need for CA in general that is compatible with the new unit. I have an older Navionics hot maps premium SD...

Congratulations to Phillip and Mike for an outstanding season. Congratulations to Dan for running such a fun circuit. Haven't been on a circuit for several years and Ric and I had a lot of fun. Seeing old faces, like Dee, Lonnie, Steve and others (what happened to Ed C ?) was like I never left. Than...

I moved here in 1972, the population 20.5 million.

Dave, Unfortunately a new boat is not like a new car, because "add ons" are usually covered by the original manufacturer. That said document everything (names dates times etc although I believe you are doing that) Check warranty info that came with the boat. I believe you'll find Humminbir...

If there ever was a man more in tune with the fish at Clear Lake, it was Bob. Everytime I'd stop and visit him, I'd drop 50.00 to 100.00 bucks on his recommendations. Then I'd go out on the water and catch fish with one of his recommendations. Always truthful, and fun to BS with. There were times wh...

Very Sorry to hear the news. I knew he was battling cancer. Although we never met, I could laugh to tears with some of the stuff he would post both here and on Cal Bassin.
