MN Trax and Lowrance H20

Recommended Posts

My beautiful wife was going to surpise me with a MN TRAX chip for my Lowrance H20.

She went all over the place and everyone wanted to sell her a Lakemaster (I already have one of them.)

I just want to make sure that it is compatible and see what people think of it.

She wants to order one, so I have it before deer hunting.

Any advice would be great!!!

Thanks,

DL

The MNTRAX chip will work in a Lowrance H20. Stores will try to sell you what they have. Do a search on the word TRAX or MNTRAX right here on this HSOforum and you will see other threads where they have talked about the TRAX product and/or others can comment on this thread as well. If all you ever do is fish, then LakeMaster makes a great product. However, if you hunt, fish, hike, bike, etc, the extra features in MNTRAX is what seperates it from any other map out there.

Go for it, with the MNTRAX and your existing LakeMaster card, your all good...your covered bud. TRAX does what it does extremely well out in the field, in fact, it excels.

I have yet to talk to a hunter whom picked up a TRAX product, and did not find it highly useful.

I do not run the Lowrance line, I run Garmin, and in all my Garmin products I have the TRAX loaded and ready to go. I love it, it covers what others miss and omit completely, and very often the others miss a lot.

I say..."Get TRAX, and then...Go Get-Sum!" cool

Yep, you'll be very happy with it, I'm sure. That set up should work fine. For private/public info, the Trax products beat the heck out of Lakemaster. I have Lakemaster products and I'm very happy with them, but for 99% of hunting and quite a bit of fishing, the Trax products are the cat's meow!

    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
