If you turn off 2d, side, and down, and only run AT you can hear the transducer. If all the others are off then you turn off AT, my transducer stops making all noises. I did this while in the garage playing. I think what you’re hearing after you stop it is the other functions still running? But man some great info here! Thank you!

Brilliant - thanks Jodo

👏👏Awesome video,I’ve had Active Target since day one it came out and I’ve never heard anyone mention about using a level,that’s so brilliant or maybe I live under a rock 🪨 🤣 anyway when in forward mode do you leave the range always in (80) and just adjust the depth of water? Most of my ponds here in my Massachusetts/Rhode Island area are 10-15 feet so should I leave it in (80) and adjust my depth based accordingly? PS 😂 I hope I making sense with my gibberish thinking God help me and you when you read this 🤣😂

Great video, thanks.

Do you need to physically change the orientation of the transducer when you want to use scout mode? This is the most informative and helpful video found to-date on the active target system. Thank-you

Very helpful instructions. I have a 7 live unit working on my PA14 360 with separate GPS puck and considering AT while pricing is discounted. Will a 7” HDS live provide adequate returns that are interference free? Do you recommend a single battery network or separate power for transducer module?

Good info. Question can AT create a waypoint if we touch screen out in front or boat like side scan does?

@jodonfishing5609

2 жыл бұрын

Great question, I am not sure never tried it. I wouldn’t trust it tho even if it was possible. There’s no way for the lowrance unit to accurately know which way the transducer is facing to be able to give an exact waypoint out away from the boat. Side imaging transducer are in a fixed position…. When I find a brush pile or something I wanna waypoint on my active target once I’m done fishing it I will use the trolling motor to get directly above the point of interest and drop a waypoint so it’s extremely accurate

Using a level is a great idea/tip.

I don’t have any problems with the nine be too small and I actually use split screen with 2d sonar and active target quite often

I have the same Lowrance unit that you show in the video with active target. I had my transducer originally mounted to tge trolling motor (not on the shaft). Since I use spot-lock often when fishing brush piles for crappie, I don't have control over what I'm pointed at. I am moving the transducer to telescoping fiberglass poles that pivot in a stationary mount. How important is the leveling of the transducer with this type of installation. Note: I will have a handle on top of the pole that aligns with the transducers forward direction Thank you Ed O'Sullivan S.C.

Make sure connesctions are all good between active target box and the unit. If that’s not the issue make sure there is sufficient power going to the active target box. I’m no expert but I bet it’s a power issue

Great video. One exception, I have heard from Lowrance that if you Stop Sonar on A.T., it does stop the A.T. transducer from pinging. (Does not power down the A.T. control box.) Maybe you heard that pinging coming from your 2D sonar or Structure scan transducer on bottom of trolling motor. ??

Ok, I just verified it in my garage. I stopped sonar on both 2D and Structure Scan. Then I put it on A.T. and could hear pinging....then Stopped Sonar on A.T. and it did stop the A.T. ducer from pinging.

With your trolling motor up should your beam direction be pointing straight

@jodonfishing5609

2 жыл бұрын

You want the trolling motor and the transducer lined up evenly up or down.. I don’t pay attention to the beam direction on the unit, never seems to work. I look at my trolling motor to know what my active target is looking at. That way there’s no room for error, if the trolling motor and the transducer are even with one another

Jordon, does your flashlight on your Active Target screen work with your Ultrex trolling motor? Mine does not point in the direction of my trolling motor.

@jodonfishing5609

7 ай бұрын

neither does mine. I totally ignore it.

Helpfully information... except for the prop in or prop out... the transducer is still pointing forward ...it just been mover over 3 or 4 inches... so why flip view?... Wouldn't that make the tree on the left side of the boat appear to be on the right side?

@jodonfishing5609

Жыл бұрын

the transducer has two sides both with a insert for the mount, depending on how you install the transducer and which side is up(based on the trolling motor postition) you may or may not have to put the active target into flip view for scout mode. that's why the option is there
