I have an old 9” Elite TI2 if yours has crapped out. I upgrade to the 12” model.

Google the soft reset of the unit:

For official assistance and firmware files, check the Lowrance Support Center.

Soft Reset (Keeps User Data)A soft reset fixes general system bugs and clears cache data without deleting your saved waypoints, routes, or trails.

Turn the unit completely off.

Press and hold the Pages button (the key with the cross/pages icon) and do not let go.

Press the Power button once while keeping the Pages button held down.Listen for a two-tone beep, then release the Pages button.

Wait for the unit to reboot until the Select Language screen appears.

If that’s doesn’t work do the full (Hard) reset, you will lose all your data

I know alot are saying turtle box, but given the boat type and layout I would suggest going back with 6 marine grade coaxial speakers. Suggest going with the highest efficient ones you can afford. Wetsounds and JL are the gold standard but think Rockford Fosgate, Klipsch, Polk are good as well. I don’t know Skar but it all depends on your budget.

I think you have to have a subwoofer for any system to really sound good. You will also need a good marine rated amp (or 2) for the speakers, suggest 100w/channel for main speakers and 300-500 for sub (or whatever the sub can handle). Either get a marine rated enclosure or build your own and get it Rhino lined. There is a marine grade MDF wood called EXtira that I highly suggest. Good luck.

Fished Thu-Sat, maybe had 20 keeper trout, 2 reds and a couple sheeps between 2 boats. Not nearly what normally happens in mid June with a good tide. This was a 12th annual fishing trip we do every year, normally it’s a couple coolers of fish yo clean by Sunday.

This weekend was tough, burned a ton of fuel between Fourchon and Grand Isle…tried all my typical spots with live and artificial and simply couldn’t find them.

Luckily our offshore snapper charter was a success.

I know there will be a day in my future when I stop the single day trips (2.5hr drive/each way)….doing everything I can to keep doing them and keep the old man out of the room in my mid-50s
3 vehicles (‘13 M37, ‘18 4Runner TRD, ‘20 Tundra TRD), 21 yr old daughter with 2 wrecks (1 bad, 1 minor). $8K/year….will drop to $2500/year when she starts job in September and comes off my insurance.

So there’s that….

Get a Shimano Sienna and pair with a cheap rod
Type 2 Diabetes is a lifestyle issue, eat right, exercise and cut out carbs/sugar. Suggest reading The Diabetes Code and fasting. All this worked for me, medicine is a last resort…it’s not easy to make the lifestyle changes, especially if you have diabetes in your family history but it can be reversed.
