Hds gen3 and 2 issues
Posted: Wed Jun 05, 2019 11:59 pm
Anyone on here affiliated with lowrance or knows about the wiring? I'm having a couple of issues.
First of all, I have a hds12 gen3 with 3d structure scan at the console, and a hds7 gen2 touch (it originally came with structure scan and was my console unit for about a year until I got the 12) at the front.
My problems are these:
1) this fuse keeps popping when my battery is a little low. I got a new battery thinking the 10+ year old cranking battery I had was going bad. The problem still keeps happening.
2) my structure scan will work intermittently. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it just freezes and doesnt move. Even if I turn it on and off. I make sure its selected to the 3d unit not console hds or hds7(each head units respective name) and then I'll go back to try to use it a few hours later and it works again like it should. I keep thinking use error, but it's kinda hard to mess up when you go from one page to another and it's not working?
3) I cant have the console running sonar, and also run the fronts sonar running separately at the same time. Meaning if I am using the back sonar and I go to the front to use that sonar, i can either watch the back sonar by selecting console hds or run the front sonar by selecting "this unit" or "hds7" but when I do that, the console sonar either switches over to the hds7 selection, or it stops. If I switch it back to console hds, at the console like how it should be, the front one then switches to console hds or stops.
I need help lol
