Does the route cancel after you touch the go button on the pedal? Or does it continue on the route after, say, you have to go shallow briefly to free your lure, will it automatically go back on the route? Thanks for the video! I have it saved in my favorites on YT!
Great question, mate. I don't use these feature enough to know 100% but I would say you could some how. A good question for one of the lowrance community pages on facebook.
That's really helpful and great to find some Aussie content on UA-cam. Just subscribed! I'm considering purchasing a Ghost trolling motor and weighing up the different options. What's you're experience been like as an ghost owner ? Would you say you're happy with yours and would you recommend it to others ?
I have a Lowrance Elite fs 9 with motor guide gate way set up.(2021 units) Not sure but when I follow a route using auto pilot it goes to the first way point on the route and then automatically switches to heading lock and does not complete the route and goes strait on that heading lock it just switched to . Any input would be helpful thanks
Mine works all the way up to when you push forward or reverse. After that the “engage autopilot in nav mode” option does not show up. Do you think I have some wiring hooked up the wrong way?
It's sounds like your sounder isn't recognising you ghost motor . Check to see you have current update for unit and ghost, disconnect and re connect ghost cable in back of unit. Come back if this hasn't worked mate.
I just noticed at 3:13 that the Percentage of the trolling motor is showing up at the top. How do I get that Percentage Indicator to stay there permanently, not just in Route mode? My motorguide with Lowrance link does it no problem.
I have a ghost and HDS Carbon 12. When I'm on a route, if it needs to make a slight turn after a waypoint to begin heading to the next waypoint on my route, sometimes it doesn't turn immediately. It may keep going in the same direction, past the waypoint where it was supposed to turn, then after a brief moment, it turns. Any way to "tighten up" the setting? Is it a calibration that needs to be re-done? It didn't always do this. when I'm going along the shoreline, I sometimes need to tap the pedal to manually correct my direction before it gets too shallow. Any ideas are appreciated - thanks. Running the latest updates on the Carbon and Ghost.
Hey mate, maybe a recalibration could fix this. I personally don't use this feature alot. When I do use this it's in open water and haven't noticed if it turns straight away on a way point.
Elite fs 12"????? I'm sure there is only 9" and 7" . In this case it's the same process. I put a elite fs 9 on the front of my boat and it worked perfectly
well done...concise and to the point!
Thank you for your kind words
its not a pause button, its a speed limiter so u can change how many knots u wanna go instead of chosing procentage of power on it
Thank you for your comment mate, I will educate myself more with that opinion. I'm always wanting to learn more.
@Welcoming_Photography thank you
Thanks this was driving me nuts figuring this out on the water today.
Glad I could help

Hey mate, thanks for your comment.
Anyone that knows me or has been on my boat can back my word when I say I am very happy with the ghost motor.
THE BEST
I'm thinking about this tm but was told of wouldn't navigate from my hds 12 gen 3. Isn't that what you're using in this video?
In this video, im using an hds carbon unit.

Sorry I am not familiar with the motor guide gate way set up as I have not used one.

Great question mate, I personally are not sure. I will try and find out.
@@charleswest1 Thank You. I really hope you can. I can't imagine having that side panel taking up a fifth of my screen all day.
I have had no luck yet mate

I have same setup you have and same problem. For now I record a save dry route then run Ghost , it runs tighter . Until I find same other way
Very helpfull cheers
Thank you for watching, I'm glad it helped
Loved it thanks
Hope it was helpful
How do you do this for a Lowrance Elite FS 12???
Elite fs 12"????? I'm sure there is only 9" and 7" . In this case it's the same process. I put a elite fs 9 on the front of my boat and it worked perfectly
Thank you
I hope it helped mate
Hey mate can you get it to record a route while using your main motor at say 20knots?
Sorry for the late reply, I have not tried out what you have asked .
what gen hds is that can I do this with a gen 2.
Hello, my unit is a hds carbon. I am notsure if it is compatible with a gen 2 . I will try and find out.
Hey mate, the only hds units I can find that have the full screen control of the ghost are hds live and hds carbon.
