Same here!

I like them as well. Still learning to fish them effectively. I seem to fish them more than catch with them.

FLW was canceled at James River,Va today. I travel in my job and the anglers are staying at the hotel I'm in. These guys have been here three days and no fishing. The water is high with logs and crap covering the water. To top that the train wreck in Virginia has a oil sheen on the water. Bummer! GOT RAINED OUT Too.

If your getting short strikes and followers speed up.

You forgot the part about were he Works his Tail off to build her a place!

This is what the Lowrance rep did, and I tried it again just as you have posted with no luck. As I acquired the uiit used on the boat, all I can think is a possable bad pin on the head unit. We got the temp listed and turned on. It only shows three dashes. I did this on the water as the rep said it would not read temp on the trailer. Thanks to all that have replied! Im going to live with it untill I can upgrade.

Thank you for the replies to this post Update: I saw the Lowrance rep today and he could not get the temp to work ether. He said he was not sure if the HTS-WSBL transducer was correct for a gen1. I have research to do. Thanks to all

I have a 05 21sf. Great Boat. Have fun with it and be safe. Congratulations!

Thank you for the reply. When I go to menu>menu>Network>Data Sources>Sonar There is no listing of water temp or transducer type. I set the transducer type in sonar setup and saved the info. HDS-5 this device is selected but invalid. also i noticed that when selecting the HTS-WSBL transducer there are no menu for temp offset or should I say correction. The only place temp is listed is in data overlay. It is like water temp is not an option on this machine. Thank you for your knowledge.

Glenn, In device list "refresh" does not bring the Temp option back. The Transducer was replaced with a new HTS-WSBL thinking this was the problem. Sonar was worked like a champ. Thanks again

I tried and still water temp does not show up in network>data sources>sonar. Even with local selected. I did a soft restart and reconfigured the correct transducer with no luck. I even reinstalled the software just in case there was a corrupt file. May just be time for a new unit. If you can think of anything else I'm all ears. Thank you.

Thank you I will try that. Someone told me low voltage will cause lowrance to close menus such as water temp. I was at 12.2 volts. Problem? There's enough voltage to start the optimax. O

Hope someone can help I have googled this and tryed everything. Software is HDS4.1.36.68, Transducer is HTS-WSBL. The correct transducer is selected in setup. IF I go to menu> menu>Network>data sources>sonar water Temp is not listed. water temp selected and on in data overlay. All I get is _ _ _. I have tried a new transducer and still have the same problem. I have owned the unit for about 2 years and water temp has never worked. I did not get the HDS5 new it came on the used boat. I can not get the head unit to do a soft or hard reset. I held the pages key and power together and it just cycles on and off. Tried the zoom in and zoom out with the power key and nothing. Any ideas??? Thank you

Update on my last post. The Bearings are fine for my PQ. I was so excited to get back to fishing, after cleaning the reel and upgrading the bearings, I forgot to ste the centrifugal brakeing. My DA move. No more problems! Can you say attention to detail.
