Thanks for the kind words. So the short answer is yes with latest software for both devices you can run scenes via the Apollo 770. There are some limitations and we still find it easier to set up via a garmin MFD first

For the most part we have found leaving it in Auto works for 90% of people out there. We have also found that when using it in tandem with other transducers depending on there location it may help to tweak some of the settings as well.

Great question it has a manual activation that you do on the device itself. Usually it has a hard cover over this so you cant accidentally set it off

You are correct this is not going to replace a side scan style transducer for some people. However this is another great option. For the ultimate mix yes you could pair them together. I am sure we will have more on this transducer in the coming months as we continue to install more of them. As for getting on the fish unlike the side scan with this system you are able to see the structure as well as the fish in the area and not just shadows of something.

Great point and you are 100% correct. This is a great add on for anyone who doesn't have one already

Correct you will be able to use your MFD to show your charts, and than in the Active Captain app in the bottom middle you will see an icon you can select saying charts. These will be the same charts running via your device and not the MFD.

@navtronicsmarinegroup Good thank you! Because I want to be able to use my tablet while I'm at home to look at the depth Contours of coming up tournaments at different lakes, without going outside cutting my grass on and viewing the lakes that way

Filter was replaced with new one as the other was well used. Filters are like Impellers if your going to open and check them might as well replace them while your there. Takes the same amount of time.

So its mounting is very much like a traditional transducer from the past in that there is a fairing block to match the angle of your hull. However in our case we had the builder put a pocket in on center line so that we could keep it flush to the bottom for performance and less drag.

@@navtronicsmarinegroup thanks for the reply. We just ordered a transom mount bracket from Barji marine in Australia. Seemed to be an easy solution for a smaller boat. Excited to see how turns out 🤙🏽.

These are designed for Marine use, however I don't know why it would not work. It would depends on the install on how good it would work.

thank you for the kind words and amazing to know this is being viewed world wide

Sorry to hear of these issues. Without being onboard and seeing things first hand, I would personally start with a full system reset on the Poco side of things and create new zones from scratch. This should resolve that issue. If not then the team from Lumitec should stand behind this as a warranty issue I would think.

Great question, and also a tough one as there is no single perfect answer. It truly depends on water depth your working in. The B175HW is great for up to 500' depth the B175L is good for the deeper waters up to 2000' in depth. Where as the PS 70 is good for up to 1000' depth. Then you also have to consider the frequency ranges. The PS 70 works in a smaller frequency range of 190 - 210 where as the 175L is 40 - 60kHz and the 175HW is in the 150 - 250 range. So as the old saying goes it courses for horses, some the PS 70 will be amazing on traditional while others will prefer to view of the B 175HW

Thanks for the kind words, pleasure to meet you as well

We would have to know a little more about the system and how it was installed if they used a network connection or analog style, also what system it is going into before we could offer any advice also would need to confirm which model FLIR you have did you mean a 232 or 332 possibly?

while the M232 is a good camera for what it is designed for, it is truly no comparison to the M300 camera.

Alas there is no easy way to do this on a 943 as it does not have an HDMI input. There are certainly some workarounds that could be possible, however none that we would recommend at this time

The biggest take away from our first hand use is the faster speeds of the unit, the improved and updated charting. This is what most people are noticing right away. Behind the scenes the ability to plug cables directly into the unit instead of the pig tail is a nice touch. As is the front mounting face for the displays.

For best results you will want to mount this with a clear view of the sky (usually on a hard top) if you are looking for a better solution for heading, then you will want to look at something like the Garmin MSC -10 Sat compass

Kevin, once you do this software update, and as long as you have the ethernet connection into your stereo all future updates should be via the active captain app!

this is interesting as we have not seen this yet but will be sure to keep an eye out for it

No at this time Garmin uses the Active Captain app as the access point / connection for connectivity and updates.

My first question is where are you installing this onboard that you are seeing constant temps in that range? I would like to add some ventilation into that space for sure. It is become more and more common on some of our bigger installed to add in a simple thermostatically controlled DC fan to keep the air flow moving to keep temps down.

​@@navtronicsmarinegroup I don't have it installed yet. It just seems possible that an boat center console made of aluminum could reach that temperature in direct sunlight. I will definitely look at properly ventilating the console. I like the idea of a thermostatically controlled fan. The boat is currently being built (18' bay style fishing boat).Thanks for getting back with me so fast.

As far as we are aware this is still the most current way to test your VHF. Of course your mileage may vary depending on where your located

All in what some people want. Some prefer the lean into the curves others prefer the flat ride, and seakeeper ride gives them that options.

At this time I am not aware of anything. Seeing as it requires N2K and Ethernet I would guess it would not be an easy task to make happen. Add into the mix that Empirbus is now a fully owned Garmin company and it makes it seem to be even less likely at this time

Not at this time. Hopefully by late fall.

@@navtronicsmarinegroup Thanks a lot for your prompt response, I hope too. Anyway, very detailed video.
