+Mark Polsky Thanks for the kind words!!

You're very welcome!

Was a gift and they loved it

nice

You'll need the Gateway and NMEA2000 starter kit. You may also need a 25' NMEA2000 extension cable as the starter kit only comes with a 15' I believe. So that'll all depend on how long a cable run you have.

+tommy zander Nope. I just updated the unit and everything works fine.

Lowrance lists 1kw transducers as compatible but the maximum output of the unit is 500 watts. So to me it wouldn't make sense. You would need the TM185M with the XSonic 9 pin black connector for that unit if you choose to do it. You are better off looking at a Simrad S5100 Sounder module 000-13260-001 which is 600w - 3kw and add it to a compatible unit.

+GOOD BLESS There is no problem with your unit. If the transducer is not in the water the touchscreen will not function. What you can do is hold the negative terminal of the battery and that will ground it. What I did was attach a short wire from the negative terminal and then hold the other end. Don't return it because you've got the best 7" unit on the market today in that price range

Yes the Elite 7 TI does have an Ice Mode on it. Both would be good choices, but I think I'd go Elite Ti over the Helix due to the touchscreen

Personally I don't buy into that set according to boat speed. I like to set it according to how fast I want the screen to scroll. And that is usually set to the units default or the next level up. I would never go lower than those settings and extremely rarely go higher. The only time I would recommend going higher is when you are stationary and fishing vertically (ice fishing). In this situation you don't need the detail of the sonar info below because you aren't moving. But this will give you faster screen updates to watch fish reacting to your lure. The down side to setting it high is that everything gets stretched out and it usually gets really jittery on the screen. The downside to setting it too low is that everything gets compacted and loses its actual shape which makes understanding what you are seeing harder. The only other time I would go to a higher speed would be fishing 500' plus

@@InDepthSonar Thanks for the reply Lawren! That is pretty well what I have always done. Mess with the scroll speed too much and I lose sense of how far back features are. Cheers, Hank

I would try General Use to start with. I think there is one in there called Salt Water that you could try as well.

On the color palette in this video rocks will show as yellow bumps on the bottom. The demo doesn't really do a good job of showing rocks as there is more standing timber in this one than anything.

Update your software to the latest version and the TotalScan will auto detect. You shouldn't have to make any changes

God blesses me daily brother! There is not NMEA2000 port on the 5Ti...only on the 7Ti and up

+Brenda Heussner Press the Pages hard button. Then select structure. Then in the menu on the top right srcoll down to view and change it from left&right to down. If that doesn't work let me know and I'll suggest something else

Thank you

You just go into your WiFi settings and connect to the Elite Ti's internal WiFi

Yes it is.

+tommy sam I would select no.

thanks

+James Attfield Yes it does but you will need the 7 to 9 pin adapter

Post it on Instagram or FB and send a link. Not sure if you can get a pic on here or not

How's this :-) i.imgur.com/ELuGmyH.jpg

That looks like your surface clarity and noise rejection is higher than OFF. I would recommend turning those off, then reducing your sensitivity so there is just some light speckling in the background.

+Bass Monkey Yes I have. You'd want to compare the helix to the Hook models not the Elite Ti units. I'd say the chirp sonar and easier to use menu would give Lowrance the advantage.

Yes the latest one is 2.5 which came up on the Lowrance site a few days ago.

oh ok but the Software Upgrade did not show on my unit what the issue u think?

Do other wireless functions work? If so then maybe its just not pointing to the right directory for the download. Just manually do it this time and see if it happens again next time.

yes the gofree shop works.thx man

+tomui sam Are you using it in shallow water mode? Are there any other fish finders turned on at the same time on your boat?

yes i using the shallow water mode and i tryed other mode too and still the same.no just lowrane 7 ti i have on the boat.and i have watch ur video if there and Problems and did all the settings and still the same

+tomui sam If it's happening in manual mode (auto sens and depth range turned off) then you probably have a hardware issue with either the unit or transducer.

Hit the Pages key then go to Settings, then scroll down to the bottom and you'll see Simulator. You can turn it on in there.

Yes it can. I have helped a guy install one but we had to make a custom bracket to allow it to clear the Universal Sonar transducer in his Minn Kota. If you have less than 80lb thrust it won't fit well. Also you require a reg skeg. A motor with a front skeg will cause the transducer to come in contact with the prop

A reg skeg? Not sure what that is? I figured I would have to make a bracket. Its going to go on a Motorguide Xi5. Thanks for the reply.

+Matthew Fliege Sorry autocorrect...Rear skeg

haha gotchya. by chance what was way you routed the transducer cable since the xi5 does not have a slot on the shaft..

+Enriko Mulawarman If you have demo mode on you could lose the settings. Turn off demo mode and simulator or just plug in a transducer, then set the unit up

+KluelessKayaker How deep of water are you in?

Most of the times shallow (1-5ft) But when i go out out into 20ft waters i don't see anything :(

IDK, I just thought I would see nice arcs or something....

+KluelessKayaker Most often you won't mark fish in anything less than 18' that will be of any value to you. The shallowest I've ever caught fish that I marked was in 12' and those fish were right below the transducer. As soon as they moved off to the side the were off the screen. The only things that will effect making fish in shallower water is the surface clarity on anything but off (unless you have the latest software version where Lowrance changes how it works) and low sensitivity. Next time you are out use a drop shot and lower it right below the transducer and see if the unit marks it. If it does you don't have a problem, there just aren't fish there.

Here is a link so some screen shots. facebook.com/kluelesskayaker/posts/603393989853527

+Don Frederick I have a second power cable and use a 12 volt 9ah battery. The same ones used for ice fishing kits. AquaVu sells the cheapest ones I've found in stores.

You probably have to sign up on their website first

can u give the website please?thx

+tommy zander I googled it and this is what I came up with insightgenesis.laketrax.com/Account/Register

thanks man then i can use the account on the unit?dose the 7ti totalscan work on 9ti?

+tommy zander That's right. Yes you can use the total scan transducer on all Ti models

Yes you can. Here is the part number for the ice kit specific to the Elite Ti units 000-14565-001 that are 7" or under. Here is a part number if you just need the transducer 000-14889-001. These are great units on the ice!

+cawglock23 Yes there is. Use the RAM-101-LO11.

Lawren Wetzel what is your sensitivity at

You want to set it as high as possible without cluttering the background with noise. Generally it's set around 60-95% depending on depth and cover.

If you mean the fishing mode then I would choose general or saltwater

@@InDepthSonar oh ok thx
