How to set up your LOWRANCE UNITS for the FIRST TIME!

[@twotallable]

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

After watching about 20 videos this is the absolutely most informative. Thanks. Much needed.

[@officialWWM]

What an absolutely awesome setup! Love your boat.

[@mattwfishing]

I literally do everything exactly the same. But not by myself. Picking up small things from every KZbin video I’ve seen on this topic has helped HUGE on the last few years

[@dallasweldon4563]

This has been the most helpful video that I have seen. Thanks guys!

[@davidrobertson969]

As usual a great information video. Went down to my boat and turned on my Carbon to follow you guys. Thanks for helping us better our fishing experience. Great job Edwin and Lowrance

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you David!

[@PopPopJoe]

I have a Lowrance Elite FS 9" = I have a problem? I have a hard time seeing the sonar screen while sunny and wareing sunglasses. Any tips? I have to bend down put my face right up to screen while shading area as best I can with my hand. Its like running blind when your driving boat do to not being able to see screen. It's the glare.

[@Trump2024musthappen]

They make a box that hides it . Mounts over it . Forget the name though sorry

[@davidmcginnis8511]

So glad I watched this today (while it is storming). I learned so many things that have been confusing me. Thanks Edwin

[@jabojr5171]

Great job guys, really appreciate the depth of your talks.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

You bet thank you for watching

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Guys, Jacob is a GENIUS!! 🤓🤯 What questions do you have for me/him about your Lowrance unit? I’ll do my best to answer them! 👇

[@davidrobertson969]

What is the Lowrance transducer setting if you are using a Minn Kota Ultrex

[@kolbyray8512]

Can you get him to discuss mapping or how to set up the overlays for map cards?

[@bigcheese8520]

Great video. Just downloaded software updates to chip, installing in the morn. Then going back through my settings to match yours. Thanks for content, can’t wait for #2&3.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Awesome! Stayed tuned, glad you’re watching willing to learn

[@alwayz_be_cullin]

Wondering if y’all could go more into maps/chart settings. Been looking for videos to show how to change water levels, and adjust them based on lake levels being drawn up/down... also adding map chips. I have a Gen 3 TI2 with only one SD slot. Idk if I buy a Map Chip, will it alter the current unit setup. I want to get better contour lines than what the unit came with. No clear cut stuff I can’t find online about these 2 questions! Thanks in advance and thank you for the great content! 🇺🇸🤙🏽🎣

[@thehedgeknightnc3681]

Just found your channel. Great info to see how much technology has advanced in bass boats. Guess I'm just a caveman with my 2000 nx882 with my HB wide100 in front, a vexilar flasher in the dash, and a tablet for gps. Best of luck to you in the coming season.

[@jonathanc.vinsonfishing5154]

That helped a lot as first time Lowrance user. Looking forward to parts 2&3.

[@jonathanbacon1825]

I have a Hook2 9 TS, that being said it’s much lower end fish finder but for the life of me I cannot dial it in, I have a new transducer but I can’t make it clean up and really help me differentiate what i’m looking at, that goes for 2D sonar and downscan

[@mr.shakyhead5878]

Just order 2 HDS Live 9 inches. I can’t wait for them to get in.

[@johnrayner5599]

Great info, I wish we all had a Jacob in our boat for those Help Times…lol!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Haha I wish!!

[@rollievancleave2999]

What should the voltage readout say and what should I set the alarm at?

[@bradycarver]

This is EXACTLY the video I've been needing with my new Live Units!!! Thanks !!!

[@cbl0325]

this is the best video ever thank you for posting it! i never knew i can do all this with my hds live 12

[@bassngal3314]

What do you add to get the volts, live well temp etc to show on the graph?

[@JimGLopez67]

I just made the switch to Lowrance 9TI 2 units , I pick up 2 units and was able to pair them together, Question - I’m using Navionics card on the council unit for the main unit and other one on the bow . The bow unit it will not bring up the Nav card on it just the base map ? Thanks for your help.

[@jerrylassiter6443]

There should've been a box that popped up on the bow unit to hit yes or no to read that card on your console unit, I just installed two Elite-9 ti2's as well....maybe go back and link them together again

[@aquaticnut86]

Weird timing! Just got my lowrance fs today I was kinda lost on how to set it up! Very helpful thank you

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Awesome glad you found this!

[@rhanlon6891]

My HDs 12 doesn’t have sensitivity in the menu on the right of the screen. It just has contrast. How do I add or adjust sensitivity? Thank you

[@scottscherbing5000]

Thanks, Edwin & Jacob! I’m going to purchase a new Hook Reveal TS in the very near future and will be referencing this video for that!

[@nickmcdaniel5676]

Can you go over how to stop the interference on the front graph from the trolling motor. Mine does good until I run speed above 7. Minn kota ultrex and an elite ti1 9. Appreciate your channel and the tips.

[@scottyabercrombie1678]

Just got my Lowrance Active Target on the boat tried it out today ! Question I have is how is it that you get the Active Target to point toward the direction of the trolling motor is going ! When I move the trolling motor the active target shows opposite direction? Hope this makes since ??

[@davidlaing4728]

Just got a live 16. Timing for this is perfect!

[@roslyngabriele994]

Thanks Edwin I love your friend and all your videos

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you Roslyn!

[@dong8307]

Great video. Very helpful for Lowrance users. I also subscribe to the Lowrance channel and this guy does some great videos that are very helpful.

[@jasonthornton8612]

I have a hook 7 im having trouble setting it up. It turn's on but can't get anything to work sonar water temp depth??

[@clarkholton461]

Got a Lowrance now. Still missing my Garman!

[@LittleGazoo]

Here's a tip for your tips: Lowrance LIve Quick Key -> MAXIMIZE. Set the Maximize function on a Quick Key will allow you to maximize the Active Screen Panel. First press will Full-Screen the active panel, second press will return screen to combo-view. Enjoy

[@jeffceo6077]

How do I find my own "Jacob?" Just bought two Elite FS units and an ethernet cable and had Bass Pro Shops install it to share one transducer. The installation manager reported to me that one of the units is defective and won't find the "head unit" as my data source. I need some assistance but the Lowrance website just doesn't have a way to get support.

[@jamierice3189]

Really enjoyed this one great info.. thanks Edwin..

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Absolutely thank you Jamie for watching!

[@markvogus8063]

Can you run on plain and see depths

[@calvinfoster5245]

Great information. I'm looking at this system to have installed on my sun tracker fishin' barge 22 DLX pontoon boat. Question: What type of trolling motors are compatible with this lowrance units.

[@240LTS]

... Motorguide. You will need the Gateway cable to connect to the NMEA 2000 backbone. Of course the Lowrance has to be connected to the backbone also.

[@sarojaday6345]

Thanks for all the information, now lets see if it helps me catch fish!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Absolutely good luck out there!

[@dannyjohnson2402]

I've got a HDS Live 7 and some of the features that are described in this video do not apply. I would love to have the time displayed on my HDS Live 7 but cannot because the feature is grayed out.

[@TimK4343]

Whats your favorite mapping chip/s for your lowrance graphs?

[@worldwidegrits]

Me, I bought navionics

[@lvsaltwater]

Its all greek to me ,, but it sure was nice watching a smart person doing his thing :-)

[@muskbeard3924]

Your smart phone, has more functions than this...

[@artscott5755]

good stuff , I can use a lot of this on my HDS touch screen

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Awesome glad I could help!

[@240LTS]

... 5:35 ... Where are you that it is light out at 10:18:47 PM !!?? 😉 Maybe later you show how to change to AM?

[@BobbyRoberts13]

Great video and tips! Gave me some new ideas

[@bradycarver]

Question. When I'm on my trolling motor and looking at my HDS LIVE trying to cast to a waypoint, my map is constantly spinning. Making it impossible to cast to a specific waypoint. What do I need to fix this ?

[@derrickhouse7063]

get a heading sensor. I believe Lowrance calls them a "point one" antenna.

[@bradycarver]

@@derrickhouse7063 I've heard of that. I'll check into it

[@fishncoach8699]

Why 2d sonar instead of down scan?

[@enoughcedd_1121]

Do each of those 12s have they're own transducer?

[@guitarriffraff6290]

I didn't think lowrance had a product expert because there customer service sucks

[@kevinwill8542]

good luck this season

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you Kevin 🙏

[@jamesstevenson7907]

When is part 2 coming?

[@garymongelli6188]

You left us hanging when can we see part two (2) of setting up your lowrance... LOL

[@jamiehartzell5286]

Simply awesome

[@charlesmartin4386]

Great video helped a lot thank you

[@galexand07]

Good stuff E! I have older elite 9 but some things still apply.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Great glad I could help 💪

[@fishindoc6025]

Awesome video..thanks

[@jascobos]

Great video

[@fishingwithg6878]

I love this video and Jacob

[@fishingwithg6878]

I love your videos and your friend

[@fishingwithg6878]

Jacob is a genius

[@bassinwithbuck4955]

Even better than RPM would be to have oil pressure on the screen. Oil pressure and temp will be your first indicator of an impending catastrophic failure.

[@advancedusvsystems6255]

Turn off key beeps and LOG YOUR SONAR! Upload to make Genesis maps.

[@christopherfallon6086]

The most important part is setting data sources. Why accidently do that off camera? I’ve had nothing but issues with data sources since installing 4 new had live 12’s on my boat over 6 months ago. I get mediocre assistance from Lowrance tech support. I’ve been directed to all kinds of changes in the settings and it still does not work correctly. I wish someone in Lowrance would actually know what to do

[@andymathias1463]

I sure would like to ug my hds gen3's for those Lives but $$$$

[@bassngal3314]

Trade them in to Russell Marine Products

[@terrytriton2265]

I can afford the new graphs buy can i afford Jacob???😆

[@officialWWM]

That need to set your overlays up on every screen is a pain in the butt! At the very least, there should be a setting to show those overlays on every screen!

[@larrymartin8872]

What you have just done should be done by them for all units that they make. Then you could stop and rewind to learn better.

[@sportman8467]

Bro all this high tech electronics just to fish let me ask you a big question how did you catch fish before all this technology I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed just saying i know all these electronic components are major advantages in the sport but are we taking away from the sport the one true thing that makes the sport is us the people catching fish and the doing it with our own knowledge just a thought

[@JimWellman]

Someone should start a fishfinder free tournament. I think there would be a lot of interest in it; however, prize money may not be as good because there wouldn't be a many high dollar sponsors.

[@philipnaeger68]

Saw the title and thought it was gonna tell us to throw the lowrance in the trash and buy a Garmin..

[@timmyanderson1576]

garmin is a great unit and more plug and play but has less features. they are both capable of similar things. really need a degree to operate a furuno

[@matthewboster5506]

Lowrance is trying really hard to get me to buy a bird or a Garmin

[@thedutchfisherman7078]

It's actually emberassing to see that a lot of so called pro's know absolutely no shit when it comes to setup their units or how they work! 🙄

[@drmrjon]

SLOW THE FUCK DOWN. Not everyone is a tech person !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
