Lowrance questions

slick · January 09, 2008, 09:43:13 PM

Not real sure where to start but I'll try..

I have 20ft Triton with a small Lowrance mounted on the bow and an X-15 on the dash. I do not believe the X-15 works correctly and I am about to upgrade to a new color X-27 anyway.

Is there a way that I can run both units without interfering with each other? When I have tried both they are all over the place. They will work for 5 mins, then for 5 mins it will says 400ft, then it will be back to normal for 2 mins, before shooting back to 100ft..all while im sitting in one place. Both units do this. However, when I take the X-15 out of the picture the graph on the bow works just fine.I also have a flasher on my dash and for obvious reasons I never turn it on.

Where are your transducers mounted?

trolling motor, and a shoot through the hull on the rear for the dash mount.

you should not be having any interference between the two with that set-up. That is the same way the majority of us have them set up. Try calling Lowrance & see what their tech support has to so on it.

Here is what they said, speaking directly to Lowrance:

Each transducer has it's own cone shape in the water and at depths of say 30ft or so those cone circles can overlap on the bottom then the individual units on the boat can get confused picking up each others signals.

Anyway, Lowrance is giving me $250 towards the purchase of my next graph, so bring on my X-27!

I just got a 27C put in my boat and you will love it. I have mine networked off of one antenna and it is not that hard to set up. I don't think you can run 2 units off of one transducer though, but it is worth asking about. You will like the 27C though.
