Lowrance LMS-334c

[zachp]

I'm lookin for a new sonar unit and am interested in the 334 but i have heard a few complaints about the gps not working properly, does anyone have any info on this?

After I sent my back in it been flawless. Its one of the best things I bought. I can use it on the boat,in truck in the winter and for road maps also, or a snowmobile or 4 wheeler. I have it set up on an old vexler box with a 9 amp. battery and an ice duce for walking. I mounted it on a ray jefferson mount to move it around.

I just talked to the electronics guy at Reeds and he said it was a software issue that has been resolved, i believe it is time to purchase the unit.

At cabelas they talked me into spending a little more i got the 25c i think it is it was like $999, but i think i need to take the class to learn how to run it. They convinced me that this one had much more power and more pixels so it is alot better picture with a larger screen and it reads more accurately.

I got the 25c too. The internal GPS would have been nice, but a larger screen is nicer. I just converted it to an ice machine, man what a battery pig.

I have the 334 c and only experienced very minor problems with the GPS. I sent it in because I also heard they were having problems. I have not had a chance to use it since but I was told by several the problem was fixed.

Anyone have any tips for reducing/rejecting the interference caused by a Marcum LX-5? From my limited experience the Lowrance is virtually unusable in sonar mode next to another flasher. The GPS is great and I can't wait to use the unit in open water, however I would like to play with it on ice without needing to power down nearby units.

Any suggestion are greatly appreciated.

thanks, sean

Check this out. It should help. I don't really have problems with Marcums and my X67c on those settings. I mainly see problems from the FL18 that are tricky to deal with. I usually just move a little and am good to go. But, if you're in a house with one, I guess that doesn't work

hawkeye is the ice ducer the same as the x67

PTI-WBL 106-94 is what you need. the 67's ducer is 106-68. go to lei extras and get it there if all your after is just the ducer.
