Anybody have a current water temp now that the reactor is back online?

Thanks.

That’s pretty chilly.

Thanks.

Water temp?

great list NSD, #7 is my favorite

if i had one suggestion it would be to feild test there products, and quit using customers as lab rats.

but then again what do i know?.

if you are interested in finding out how it was done, PM me for info.

thanks, but i don’t believe you have a firm grasp on my true intentions.

i have nothing to gain or loose, currently all my lowrance electronics are operational. they are in need of an update however.

my actions are in response to what i have seen, read, witnessed first hand and anticipate happening as an admittedly frustrated but loyal lowrance customer.

i am just trying to be a responsible consumer and possibly encourage others to expect more from a not so consumer friendly environment.

how do you expect to raise the bar without demanding for it to be raised?.

BTW, if you feel the need to sweet talk your way into a product you paid your hard earned cash for by all means keep doing it your way.

BigShooter, I am curious. Did you also attach a link to the positive comments myself and others have posted

no, the fact that so many people have had to utalize the “customer service” that lowrance offers is more proof that lowrance is failing in initial product quality.

i refuse to credit them for knowingly releasing products that are flawed and than being the “hero” when a customer calls them on it.

i realize that problems are bound to happen, but no educated consumer can deny that lowrance has dropped the ball big time.

no, those updates are all from 06′

you have the most recent software.

congrats!

here’s mine

glad to hear you got some help……but i’m left wondering…………what about the rest of us

i have the new style alaskan, and they made many improvements from the previous years. it fishes great, but if i was just going to fish with it i’d probably go with the explorer.

if you plan to use it for both hunting and fishing, the alaskan is top notch.

what do you plan on doing mostly with your new boat?

hunting? fishing?

here is a really good, but some what lengthy read about ethanol. i’ll let you all guess what i think about ethanol after you read up.

5. The sonar does not perform as well with the new updates. There are “hick-ups” that cause delays in updates to the graph which sometimes are several seconds long.

my bow mount HATES the update, it’s like i got a welfare sonar…..never wants to work

even though the 1890 seems to be rigged a little nicer, i would go with the 1900. the EFI being the main reason but also the added space.

maybe you can swap trailers and put the galvi under the 1900?

i’m a big lowrance fan, but the logistics of the last 2 seasons have been far less than impressive.

anybody who does the research needed will see the numbers of birds that have died from lead do not justify a lead ban. there is an agenda at work here.

derek, does the yammie mini come with all the fittings and plugs needed to complete the job?.

yes it can be adjusted, i had mine dialed down to 650 rpms. if i remember correctly they come set at 800 rpms stock.

not that i don’t share in your frustration, but if i am correct

so for a price you are willing to push aside a moral obligation to yourself?. sounds to me that you like walmart, you just don’t want to admit it.

BTW, i have had great luck with interstates.

please bestow upon us feeble minded destroyers of the earth your vast intellect, ideas and answers too which none other than your noble self could dream.

please help us to understand, to repent are evil ways oh great and all knowing.

james, i agree with you and will say we both have legitimate opinions. i should have been more clear about my first “supporters” statement.

the bottom line is that to the general, unknowing, unthinking, and kneejerk reaction public, even the simplest utterings of “LEAD BAN” is guaranteed to earn them morality points in the (i’ll save the vulgarities) “environmentally consious” world. it will help balance their “carbon offset” so-to-speek, LOL

I just got my DU magazine and they have an article about ducks and lead shot in some southern states. They say they are still cutting up dead ducks from lead shot.

---

i’d agree that leadshot is not good for fowl.

lets compare:

a guy shooting anywhere from 6 – 40 shells a day(depending on skill levels) at 1oz.-plus, lead per shot. that is alot of lead spread over an area. to add to the issue all the grains of lead seem to be optimal size for birds and fish to ingest.

a guy fishing looses 10 – 1/4oz. jigs in a day( that is about %1000 more than most daily outings that i can attest to personally), that is still only the equivilant of roughly 2 lead shotgun loads. also the typical size of said jigs is almost never suitable for ingestion by fowl or fish.

i’ll be more specific.

i would guess that these are a few that have a vested interest in the issue.

obviously the mainstream tackle suppliers would have to retool. however, it would be a gain on the behalf of the larger producers that can afford the transition costs, because there would be much less competition on the backside of the deal.

i’ll add that once again if someone yells the sky is falling, despite what the issue is, if it is slapped with the “environmentally conscious” tag you dare not oppose it or face the risk of being labeled morally wrong.

this bill has very little to do with protecting the environment. the statistics even after being skewed just don’t add up. it does however have everything to do with making fishing more unappealing, through $, to certain demographics that just can not afford a $2.00 jig, or a tackle box full of them. it is just another poorly masked attempt to “thin the herd”.

i also would not doubt some of the biggest supporters of this bill are tackle companies, since most of us don’t posses the equipment to pour our own steel/tungsten/bismuth tackle they have the world to gain.
