Lowrance and LakeMasters


ClownColor

Recommended Posts

I've been out of the loop lately but I thought Lakemaster was Humminbird exclusive. But Cabelas has "NEW" Lakemaster Lowrance Pro Map series for sale. Maybe things have changed since last year?

Anyways,I bring this up cause I was looking for mapping for my HDS Gen2. If anyone has this for their new HDS Gen2, I'd like to hear some reviews before I purchase some lakemap software...leaning towards Lake Insights HD 2012.

Thanks,

CC

Lowrance has new lake insight chips in a pro model and high definition (shaded relief) but the lakemaster branded chips are not available for lowrance anymore.

The data used on the new lowrance chips is probably the same because I looked at them both side by side and they looked identical.

Cabelas does sell the Lakemaster pro maps for the lowrance. If you look at the humminbird and the lowrance the difference is Humminbird says Minnesota 12' where lowrance doesn't have a year on it. I believe the lowrance lakemaster hasn't been updated in a couple years but they still sell one.

Also they don't sell the LOW chip or Rainy chip ect... Maybe this is the last of them... IDK...

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
