I just put a Lowrance Elite 5 with GPS on the bow and run it off my Terrova Universal Sonar. So far so good with one exception. The surface water temp reading is about 20-25 degrees lower than what my console unit (Low 520C) reads. I had a Lowrance X67 upfront and it always matched the 520. Any ideas or suggestions before I have to look into sending back in or learn to live with the issue? There is a "Temp Calibration" feature but that is in tenths of a degree and, I believe, is to allow matching temps between say a Lowrance and a Hbird or Garmin, etc. It allows a max of 10 degrees which still makes me off 10-15 degrees.

We're usually fully stocked but you caught me on a bad night!
Tuesday night is usually "board meeting" night if you know what I mean. Stop in and have a tasty beverage some Tuesday night after these holidays are over and things get back to normal.
