I just bought a Elite 4x for my yak and i am concerned about the unnused temp terminal being open to water.
Is this something that can cause damage to unit if it were to get wet? Can you buy caps to put on the terminals? If so where, i am in Perth Thanks |

Hey mate sorry for the delay. Had a look today. Couldnt work out if you could change the format. Doesn't look like you can. Mite be best to just use a converter.

Also my fortrex TM is a the version with built in transducer.I can easily disconnect this so its not in use but as the transducer is slightly lower than the main body of TM would this interfere with the signals.From the pictures of the spotlight fitted it appears its transducer would be lower but I just want to sure.Thanks mate |

I would say its just picking up small objects in the water, maybe weed? As you have it on auto sensitivity it may not have been as sensitive previously and they did not show up. Just tune down the sensitivity if you want to get them off the screen. Also select the advanced button and it will give you a few more options to reduce the clutter on the screen. Hope this helps.

never mind - found the problem.
Will be a cheap fix. Although was kind of hoping for an excuse to upgrade to 5x HDI... Last edited by spork; 10-03-2014 at 08:34 PM. |

OK. Problem not solved...
2 YO Elite 4x DSI. Not showing bottom detail. Only working is shallow (<9m) water. Used to show awesome detail and have used in 45m deep no problems. It's "shoot through" mounted in my kayak. I thought I'd solved the problem when I noticed the silicone holding it in was coming loose so I re-siliconed it - worse than ever today. It wasn't "seeing" jack schit. Battery is good. (checked with another sounder). Shows 12.6 (ish) Volts on both when fully charged. Any ideas? |

X-4 Pro fish finder fault
My Lowrance x-4 sounder will only read 60m while flashing .
This happened sometimes if I turned it on when too shallow and was just a matter of waiting until I reached 1.5m+ turn it off then on again and it would adjust and start reading correctly. Now it wont read other than 60m , just wondering if there is a reset option or if this has happened to others . It's just over 12 months old , battery fully charged and never gets removed from my yak ......... Time for a new one ??? Cheers Steve. |

Hooking up a 2nd lowrance advice
Sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't find a thread linking these two particular sounders, I have just ordered a new boat which is going to have a Lowrance HDS-7 gen 2 touch mounted at the console and was lucky enough to score a Lowrance HDI 5 elite thanks to a promotion the boat company was running and im planning on setting this one up on the front casting deck.
My questions are: *can I run the 2nd sounder using the same transducers that the HDS-7 is hooked up to or will it require its own transducer? *Ive heard certain sounders can be linked using a single cable, can these two particular sounders be linked in this way? and if so, does the 2nd sounder need be hooked up to a power source aswell or does it receive power thru this single cable aswell? Any advice on whats the best way to hook these two sounders up and linking them together would be greatly appreciated as ive never had a boat running two sounders before so I have no idea. Cheers. |

You cant link a HDS and the HDI system to each other.
And if you run 2 sounders you need power to each unit just the cables (ENET) provide the interface between the 2 units. You would need to run the HDI system on its own with its own transducer. Try and offload the HDI and get a HDS 5 head unit. |

You could still run it up front just use one of the trolling motor mounts for the transducer. Very easy to set up and works awesome showing what's directly under your feet.

Thanks breambarron thats a good idea, I forgot about the option of mounting the transducer on the minn kota. That might be my best option. Cheers
