Cabin fever is costly once again. So about a month ago I got a new boat.

2005 186 Triton

It needed a major upgrade in the electronics department so this is what I upgraded to

Lowrance Elite5 in the new dash and a pair of side imaging HD Humminbirds on Ram mounts. 898 & 998

Before

New dash

Units mounted but I still need to wire them up

Between learning all of the new units and the I Pilot it's going to be hard to find time to fish!

Sweet!

Dang Curt!!!! Ill have to meet you up at Melvern to try the back seat out!!!

Bring it on ^

I got them all wired up, now if it was only warm enough to go try them out.

Learn the SI readout setting so you will have full width screen for SI like this.

It is in the menu sonar tab:

 

Thanks Wayne, you've been a huge help! Any other tips on initial settings?

The main initial setting is to learn how to use Simulator so you can practice with the unit settings before getting on the water.  

Hey Wayne, do you have a 5 port?

I know they have to be hooked up to power but do I need a switch to turn it on or off? Humminbird says the 5-port won't draw any current unless the units are turned on?

It looks like to link a I pilot and 2 Humminbirds it's going to cost around $300!

No, I don't.

I don't use the E

No, I don't.

I don't use the Ethernet connection since I don't need to share any data or accessories.

 

I will check about the need for a switch though.
