Make sure you've got the most current software, should be 4.5

Go to settings, "About", then I believe it says "version" and you should see 4.5.

He installed a 7 on my Triton and does excellent work. Just got it back today.

That is a really good looking graph on there. I have the Humminbird 1199 and I was so excited to be able to see it without my readers on. LOL

The only downside is that RAM Mount. Once the mildly rough water comes around it will be falling over. I tried everything, including the external handle tool that provides more leverage to really crank it down tight. But no success.

I just switched mine out to the BallzOut. It has been awesome. The base fits right in the same holes you used for the RAM Mount base. I was on Lake Michigan with some four foot rollers and the graph never budged.

That looks awesome!
Stupid question, but when they install the transducers, do they simply go right next to each other on the transom? Does the Lowrance cause any interference with the Humminbird?

Hey Hawg...

I've got my 12 on a Ram mount but instead of it sticking up I've got the middle lever to the side and I don't have any issues with it clamped down. Now I do REALLY clamp it down though but I haven't had the issues you mentioned and I guess I expected to. I always wondered if the plastic ball could be notched to help that problem if that makes sense.
