Good video. One thing to add - since Lowrance issued that service update on rewiring the Ghost foot pedal, a few people have had to replace the CPBA control board inside the foot pedal. When you do this, you have to do the Foot Peal Calibration. Just an FYI.

[@stevet876]

I cant hear the beeps. anyway around that to calibrate?

[@hmongwild]

Thank you So much. My brother just put one on his boat. Were just some rookies 😂. I asked him who put the motor on and if they calibrated after i saw your video. He said he put it on and dont know anything about calibrating. Lol. I was at a little bass tourney last week and try to spot lock and this thing was all over the place like it was lost which i think it was. I will calibrate it once i hit the water again.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

No prob!...yea calibrating should def fix that for ya, good luck on the water, and thanks for the support and feedback!

[@TX_Nupe]

@@NitroZ18Fishing I calibrated my Ghost but when I hit the anchor button it takes me off the spot I anchored wanted and then after a bit it will go to it. Spot lock in my opinion on the Ultrex seem much simpler and quick.

[@briannichols4091]

Hi there just had my Ghost installed... I am on electric motor lakes only here can I use the motor to get to a safe place the do the calibration for the heading

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Yeah absolutely, just make sure to give yourself enough room to do the calibration… Hope that helps!

[@chucktaylor4636]

What is it that you mounted right behind the head of your trolling motor? Looks like some type of screen. Thanks.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Hey Chuck!...yes sir, that’s my iPad Pro mounted on a Ram Mount...I use it to mirror one of my 12’s from the console and view my mapping on it...that way I don’t take up any space on my HDS Live for mapping...hope that helps!

[@chucktaylor4636]

@@NitroZ18Fishing wow. That’s great. So will it mirror anything that the sonar has on its screen? Which Ram mount is that? Thanks.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

yes sir, anything you show on the graph that you're mirroring will show up on the iPad...you can actually even control the screen from iPad, it's a great feature...the cradle is the Tab Lock from Ram, I had it on a 6" arm and a series C Ram Ball...let me know if you need any other info!

[@paulfreeman5268]

Hello, I just put the ghost on my Ranger boat and saw your video. I see that you mounted the compass puck real close to the motor and the graph? I have seen another video stating he had interference with the Lowrance live graph and the compass? I am trying to determine where to mount my compass and seeking info before mounting it. Are you experiencing any interference problems? Thanks

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Hey Paul!...yea no prob, I have zero issues at all with my location, no interference whatsoever...I’ll keep the channel updated if anything happens but it’s been a few months now since I installed it and no problems at all!...thanks for watching!

[@paulfreeman5268]

@@NitroZ18Fishing Thanks for replying and thanks for the video! I am ready to get the boat in the water and do the calibration.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

no prob, you're going to love the Ghost!...best TM I've ever been on a boat with for sure...tight lines!

[@MattyWongFishing]

whats a good video for the 3rd calibration? i'm still having issues after doing both bow offset and heading sensor calibration.

[@samporterbass]

Contact Lowrance and ask them to email you the calibration steps for the foot pedal. That should be done first (if needed), then bow offset, followed by heading sensor. Also, per Lowrance, you're supposed to use the big motor for the heading sensor calibration, not the trolling motor. If you've performed the bow offset and the heading sensor calibrations and your motor isn't stowing correctly, you need to start over with the foot pedal configuration. Hope that helps.

[@ryanvarner6520]

Good video, thanks for posting!

[@livingthedream29]

Great video. I just installed my Ghost, however the prop will not spin while stowed. It has power to foot pedal and all connections are made. Will it only operate while deployed? I’m used to my old Motorguide. Haven’t had a chance to take it to the lake yet…

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thank you!!…yepper, the prop only works when deployed, it’s a safety feature on the TM…hope that helps!

[@elkbow]

Re-watch Lowrance's video on bow offset.

[@kirkpoincon1893]

Not hearing any beeps to get into the calibration mode

[@Dylan_Miller]

Very helpful thank you!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

No prob, happy to help!…thanks for watching!

[@nickc8629]

Thanks Judge!!!!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

No prob buddy!...let me know if ya need anything else!

[@troykennedy9133]

What was the speed you set to make the turn

[@troykennedy9133]

What speed on your motor did you use to make the turn

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Hey Troy, I don’t remember exactly what speed I had the dial set to, but you just want to go at a nice steady pace...I would recommend maybe speed 4, give or take...completing the circle is most important, speed can vary a little...hope that helps!

[@kirkpoincon1893]

Just put one on my Nitro and can’t get it to work at all. Getting power just won’t run. Would know of any videos to watch to help troubleshooting

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

hmm, I'm not sure on that one...when you say it won't run, do you mean it won't turn on at all??...like the prop won't turn on??

[@kirkpoincon1893]

@@NitroZ18Fishing yes

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

glad to see you got it working!!

[@MrFishhook]

Not funny understanding, you say in the video you have the power off , the your son turns it on . What’s stops the prop from turning ? I know the top left of pedal has a on / off button done’s that stay off ? Is the power button your son pressed the one under pedal? I don’t won’t to accidentally have the prop turn .

[@chucktaylor4636]

Do i have to do these two things every time i use the boat or does it stay calibrated even when I disconnect my power? Thanks.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

No sir, once ya do this you’re all set...if the motor starts acting up you can always try to recalibrate it but this is usually a one and done kinda deal...hope that helps!

[@chucktaylor4636]

@@NitroZ18Fishing it does. Thanks!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

no prob!

[@kirkpoincon1893]

you said something about foot pedal calibration in this video, maybe thats my problem. have not be able to find any videos on that. do you know of any?? thanks

[@kirkpoincon1893]

got it working, dont know how but its working now.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

glad you got it working man!...sorry, I'm just seeing your message about the foot pedal, there's only one video I've seen on it because it comes already done from Lowrance

[@jimmyd.6042]

@@NitroZ18Fishing Does it have anything to do with the sensitivity setting as you increase speed? I wish that could be adjusted, if your moving at 8 or 9, you barely move it and it jumps to that direction. My Minn Kota was a lot smoother when running it at the higher speeds. Thanks... Enjoy your videos...keep them coming..

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thanks Jimmy, I appreciate that!…unfortunately no, I’ve noticed that as well…I rarely use mine up that high cause it moves my Z18 with ease but if I do have it on high the steering is definitely touchy…I’ve learned to just adapt to it but it’s a pain at first

[@FishingWithCotton]

Thx for the tip

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

no prob!...thanks for watching!

[@jeremylogsdon8596]

How do you calibrate the anchor, when I hit anchor it moves around all over, doesn't hold tight at all

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

These are the only 2 calibrations needed, there’s no other way to calibrate the anchor feature...something isn’t right, when I use anchor mode it keeps me pinned, no issues at all!...I would maybe try calibrations again and if you’re still having trouble maybe call Lowrance!

[@jeremylogsdon8596]

@@NitroZ18Fishing ok thanks, I'll do both calibrations again, it's hard to do here in ks with wind almost every day

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

yea I could only imagine!...keep me posted on how you make out!

[@seeyoufishing3772]

@@jeremylogsdon8596 I have the same problem. Let me know how you fix your. Thanks.

[@1bgfishing199]

I've watched some videos that indicated that the puck can get electromagnetic interference if installed too closely to electrical sources. Mikey Balz Fishing has a video that shows a guy installing his and using an app on his phone to find electronic interference. I used the app too when I installed mine, and you'd be surprised on how much and where that interference is. Just a thought!
