When it was about 3 years old. They recommended always keeping some fresh batteries in there though so I guess the backup battery gets some assistance from the normal batteries… Guvner..

Everything went smooth as can be.. The extra wires on the power cable had something to do with the old standard which I had nothing that used it.

I did have a question about an extra transducer though. I had to put this one on the trolling moter for right now. I would like to put an extra one in the hull or at the rear of the boat for cruising. Is there any kind of switch available or do I just have to manually unscrew it?

Thanks… Guvner..

Ps. I used a separate battery just for this figuring with the possibility of power drainage I’d check it first. Anyone know how long it takes the antenna to take down a battery from a full charge when not in use but connected? I also presume this would assume you left your Lowrance connected. If it wasn’t it couldn’t take the battery down that I can see.

Just got the 332c. From the instructions it looks like the main power wire has an additional white wire they are referring to as a speaker wire that isn’t used. Is this correct? Other than that it seems the 2000 network standard has to be hooked up also.

I almost was thinking if you didn’t locate the antenna very far you didn’t need to power the network from reading. I guess it will all make sense tomorrow when I try to actually install it.

As far as the network goes, does your Lowrance have a menu to check all these sensors you can add to the network?

Thanks… Guvner..

Looks like Missouri isn’t covered up there… But Fugawi is sure mentioned… I’m really wondering what are the limits if any… Guvner..

I guess I’d sure like to see something like an exchange policy past the one year warranty. Even if it was a pay exchange. Sort of like the $20 Microsoft charges you to replace a defective CD. When I talked to Navionics yesterday they told me you were forbidden to back it up and if it broke as all data storage devices do, you were pretty screwed… and had to ante up for a new one past the first year..) I think you should have to register it and then if it fails send it in at just enough to cover the cost of the SD or MMX card.

Ordering the lakes you like in your state and surrounding lakes you go to only would sure be nice… Guvner..

While you’re there get anything else fixed up if it’s an older pontoon. There’s usually something else with a crack in it. Also if it is an older one it would be good opportunity to add some goodies on the back of one of the pontoons like the newer ones have. I know I have an old Harris I added a bracket for the sonar, a bilge pump to fill a livewell above and added battery holding brackets to one side and a gas can holder on the other. Doesn’t take them guys with the right welder long.

Make sure it’s not a windy day. Pontoons don’t fit in their garages and the wind will make it nearly impossible for him to weld it as it blows the inert gas off the weld area screwing up welding aluminum.

Good luck… Guvner..
