Lowrance website gives a explanation of the problem and what units might be effected. My buddy's Gen 2 is working fine, so the problem doesn't happen with all Gen 2 machines.

It's not fake news, I talked to Lowrance and they confirmed the problem and are working on a software fix. I didn't know what the issue was yesterday, but I thought it was strange that my unit was picking the satellite signals but would not display any info.

The GPS on my Lowrance HDS 12 Gen 2 quit this morning, after working flawlessly yesterday. I plan to call Lowrance tomorrow.

There are some Pathfinder logos on eBay.

It's directly hooked up to my HDS 12. Sirius weather overlay on my Navionics chart works great. It gives me the data I need around thunderstorms and water spouts. When to stay and when to run!

I use Google and it works fine.

I keep a livewell cartridge with a Deutch (sic) connector in the boat, because you never know when a pump will quit and usually it's when your livewell is full of bait!

My Sirius weather antenna is plugged in the back (yellow) of my HDS 12.

I like Maxxis tires but they can be hard to get. I normally buy them on line at Discount Tires Direct and take them to Walmart for mounting and balancing.

You might want to adjust your winch highth. It looks like it's too high. Ideally, it should be pulling down on the bow eye.

After much trial and error, I know at least six guys that have their standard transducer mounted near the drain plug and their side scan transducer mounted on the transom. To reduce rooster tails, we mount the side scan transducer 1/4'-1/2" above the bottom of the boat.

My buddy uses a Motormate and it works good. It supports the motor and keeps it straight while trailering. I would buy one, but they are a little pricey compared to Mywedge.

All the wiring is color coded and labeled. Your Pathfinder owners manual should help you with the color code.

The other advantage of a Ipilot is you are near your console so you can see your electronics for marking fish or working edges.

I just ran across a listing on eBay for the old style Southco/Kennedy cooler tie downs. I can't get a link to work but go on eBay and search for Pathfinder cooler tie down. I bought mine a few years ago from Sweden -Onmar.
