I Played golf with a proctologist and he was one of the wittiest people I’ve ever met.  He always brought granola bars for a snack😆

I guess you got to be funny to do that all day long.  I always tell him "I hope that was good for you, cause it sucked for me".

Have you looked on YouTube?  Heck I changed out a solenoid, cooling fan and ice maker on frig using it.

Actually I have.  And I've been to the Lowrance tutorial video site (I don't know how many more times I can listen to that "Hi, I'm Billy Barroo, Lowrance product expert.)

That's just how stupid I am.

Plus, I have the ultimate Negative Nancy attitude in that I've absolutely HATED these Lowrance units since the day I got them.

I'd had Humminbird for a couple hundred years prior and have not been able to get over the brand bias I guess but they just seemed SO much easier to use.

And, like I said earlier, NOW it's personal! 🤬

You can look in the menu for a color pallet setting.   Mine just naturally has this screen.

I'm sure I'm missing something.  Heck, I usually have to reset both units temp and depth readings as they randomly switch from "Local" to "Global" and I don't get why there even IS a Global.

Who wants depth and temp readings that aren't accurate and the Global ain't!

Temp will vary 8 - 10 degrees too high and depth will be off an equal number of feet.

I've messed with the menu options on these things for over three years now and haven't gained an inch.

I'll take a couple pics later to show what I'm talking about.

Or at least what I THINK I'm talking about!

You might have to hire Bill for a whole day in YOUR boat just to train you on your electronics!

I actually inquired about that when I got this boat but he said his insurance wouldn't allow it.

Nonetheless, hiring him for a day has been on my bucket list for quite some time and, hopefully, I can get it out of the thinking stage sometime soon!

Let me know if you decide to book him. The entertainment might be worth splitting the cost with you!

Vernon, wait to book Bill until after he and I go in October. I don’t want any bad juju from you left over in the boat. lol

Although Bill's never been anything but very nice to me, I got a feeling that if I actually tried to setup a trip with him he would immediately institute a rather significant "surcharge" purely out of justifiable fear for his personal well being!

I do come with considerable risk and excess baggage.........🙄

And I don't know how you define "entertainment" but be careful what you wish for!
