A while back there was a topic about problems with different versions of the lowrance upgrade problems. I could not find the logs. My question is which units were haveing problems with reading in water of less than 15ft in the weeds and so forth. I am going to be buying a new unit and dont want to have the issues with reading in shallow water and in the weeds. The unit i think were the problem was the lcx110c. I have a lcx17m and i have issues in the weeds but once im out past the edge it is great. I am thinking about the lcx27c is this one of those units?

It was not the unit itself that had the problem, it was a software version. Lowrance swore up and down that it was not an issue, but all of us found differently. I had issues with a 25c, a 332, and a eagle model. I have installed the newest versions of the software on my lcx-25c and my lcx 112c, and have not had a lick of problems with the new versions. I do however keep the older versions around, just in case.

What do you mean you will keep the older versions? Can you save them onto to a card, or did you update them previously to that, so you have them on a card already?

I see Lowrance's HSOforum has an update version 2.1.0 My two Lcx27's both have these issues. I downloaded the 2.1.0 and will be installing it soon. Hope this resolves the issue.

I have the copies on my computer so if I ever want to go back to a later version I can just load it on a SD card and put it in my Lowrance but for now I will keep the newest version cause I did not get to use it enough in the fall to truly test it. When I download the software I always choose to have it go in my documents and from there I will put it on my SD card. Hope this helps.

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
