Is a 08 premium Navionics card compatable with the HDS units or do I need a newer card to work in it?

Your 08 card will work fine in your HDS unit.

What Color palette are people using the most for the dsi view?

Does anyone know where I can get a new lss transducer bracket?

Lowrance HST-WSBL 200 KHZ Transom Mount Transducer

Is this the coorect replacement transducer for a Lowrance X87 depth finder?

Never seen a school of fish like this before, it was huge. Saw them breaking on the surface and marked them on the lowrance HDS 10.

have elite 5 dsi cant get it to set up like manual pictures or anything else I know it is the operator. Is there a step by step instruction book that a dummy can understand GTO

no one can help on elite5dsi info

What pallet are you using? What are your settings? Which kHZ are you using? Do you have any pics of what your looks like?

I told you are dealing with a dummy. I have 455khz,all alarms on,white backround,overlay data on,lowrance data(not Navionics)north up, internal antenna, range on auto. Sometimes on split screen. Waypoints wont show either I have several in storage hope this will help thanks for the info GTO

Try the 800 kHz unless you are shallow scanning. Try the brown pallet with distance set to 80'. Play around with the contrast 60-70. Your wpts won't show up if you are zoomed in until you are very close to them.

Thanks Dayne I also failed to tell you i have the transducer on the trolling mrt. will this screw me up also? I am at 1 mile and less at times. I will make changes and let you know. We normally fish 15 25 ft. thanks again GTO

Yes GTO, the slow speeds could be your problem. I'll let Dayne help you out though, he knows more about that graph.

I run down all the time and speed doesn't seem to be a factor with it like it is with side imaging. One thing you should watch for is trolling motor interference. I have had it from the git go and the motor was taken in for warranty work of new brush holders and internal grounding. It is better but still there.

Here are what my down images look like.

Will change all like you said . Never had anything like your pic.Will making the 800 change and contras and everything show on the bottom of my screen like your pic thanks again GTO

Thanks Dayne, Weather has been very crapey around here. 3in snow and wind at 25 goimg tommorow will let you know. once again thanks GTO

Where are you located Dayne? That looks like a spoonbill

It is a Table Rock spoonbill. I saw 7 of them the other day at the confluence of the James River and Flat Creek.

Dayne, think I got it. Brown looks good Thanks a lot GTO

Bought a 2006 Triton TR186 last summer and recently switched out the old X135 graph in the dash with a LMS 522igps. Worked great for several weeks and then started losing sonar while GPS and mapping still worked. Starting digging into the issue and also thinking about putting a HDS 5 or 7 on the bow to network with the 522 but found some odd things. By the way, my TR186 has a NMEA network built in.

At the bow I have an old Eagle FishFinder2 which I plan to replace but I wanted to see how it was connected and if it was connected to the network. Transducer was connected as to the trolling motor as expected and the power cord had only the + and - connected and the other 3 wires were cut and taped off. I did find part of the network cable ends with caps (see pics). photobucket  

In the hull it appeared that I have 2 shoot through Transducers. One being a HST-WSBL Skimmer and the other being a Pod transducer PD-WBL. Since I was having issues with Sonar I decided to see how the transducer was wired. It was connected to the Skimmer and not the Pod. Connecting the Pod makes the Sonar work again.

At the dash, I found so many NMEA cables that I am really confused. I have 2 transducers, 1 power line, and about 4 other connectors that I assume go somewhere to the NMEA network and obviously the bow too and maybe the water temp lead going to the transom area. The built in network has a power on/off switch on the same panel with the ignition switch. Photobucket

I've got two graphs that work now but I'd like to upgrade the bow graph and be able network these together. I read all the links in this forum topic but outside of taking all the NMEA wiring completely out I am not sure where to go. Am I missing something or is there something that explains or tells me what goes where? Appreciate any help or thoughts.

I wonder if apples and oranges are being mixed here. The Elite 5 screenshots I've seen have nowhere near the detail of HDS "Downscan." Does it come with an oversize transducer and module like the HDS units?

Don't know about the Elite 5, but my MK Riptide causes serious interference with the "Downscan" functions of my HDS 7, even though they're not connected to the same battery. The interference somehow runs through the onboard charger wiring connecting the batteries.

Just hook up my lss1 structure scan to my hds7 but they are link to one another. Do i have to do some setting on my hds7? Thanks.

Not sure your question is in English? If you can reword it somebody might be able to help you.

The lss1 and the hds7 is not communicating. The manual stating that the yellow light supposed to be blinking for it to link. But right now I have a green blinking light.
