Lowrance Elite 5 - GPS only
Submitted by Brock O on Mon, 2014-07-07 13:18
Hi Guys
Currenlty have a Lowance Elite 5 combo unit, i have a new Furuno 587 on its way so only planned to use the lowrance as the GPS and back up sounder.
Will the lowrance transducer wazes cause issues for the Furuno, ? If so im gussing you just disconnect the main plug at the unit as the power and earth wires are seperate and are all thats required to power the unit for GPS signal ?
Any help appreciated.

Sorry i've mistated
The power and earth wire are worked through the plug so the transducer will be working if im to use the GPS. Only one way to find out i guess!

GPS only
In the Elite 5 settings you can turn off the sounder.
If you go into the advanced mode where you can change frequency/ping speed there is an option "stop sonar"
This will stop the sounder but allow the GPS to work without cutting any wires.
