So I noticed what seemed like an oddity last time I was out and I’m curious if anyone knows if its normal or have seen it before or what the deal is.
I have an HDS5 on the bow and an HDS7 on the console. They are connected via ethernet and nmea connections. The HDS5 is connected to the TM transducer and the HDS7 to the skimmer. When moving from spot to spot, I never turn off the bow unit, just pull up the trolling motor and go. I would have each unit set to use “this unit” for the transducer.
For some reason, the HDS5 would switch to use the HDS7 transducer on its own, usually when in route from one spot to another. I would switch it back when I got where I was going, but it would sometimes just switch back to the HDS7 on its own. Not a major issue, just more of an inconvenience.
Any ideas?
