Lowrance ACTIVE TARGET Install & Setup LIKE a PRO!!!

In this video my friend Nathan from Sea Clear Power shows how to install and setup the Lowrance Active Target forward facing sonar like the pros. Nathan has rigged out a bunch of pro angler bass boats and he shows you exactly how to install and tweak Active Target with your Lowrance HDS and Elite sonar units.

Looking forward to seeing you use this. I’ve been considering purchasing, so your input is well timed!

Awesome start to this video. I bought that Bull shad a couple of years ago because of watching your video. I've caught some big fish on it. Great video. I might just have to get one of these Active Targets.

🎊🎉 CONGRATULATIONS Mikey, I absolutely love my unit on my 14 foot Tracker Topper, I only use Scout mode, you’ve made an incredible investment ❤️👏👏

Good video! I love my Active Target! I do advise getting a seperate pole mount for it though, it drove me crazy not being able to have any control over where it was pointed when you're spot-locked.

Bought mine last month. U will enjoy it.

If installing this on an Elite FS unit the yellow wire will need to be connected with the Red power wire or to a switched 12V source such as the Power switch on the dash of many boats. Although the Elite FS power harness has a yellow wire it is not connected or used by the unit.

Thanks for all the help. Watched this slowly during my install.

Mikey, how and what did you use to get from your front storage/rod box to the front bow plate?

[txman]

Little tip on the remote wake-up wire. What's not mentioned here is that it had an issue with not working correctly at the time of release. The Active Target software update from 4/29/21 must be installed for the wake-up wire to work correctly.

What happens to the taped wire when you want to lift your motor for shallow water?

[douaxiong]

Where did you hook up the ground wire for the black box?

[jaybenton]

The video didn't show what batteries you used. How many batteries do you have? What voltage is your active target using? 24volts or 12volts?

[barryfish]

I'm running my active target to its own battery, do I need to run 10g wire to that battery or can I just run the power wire it comes with to that battery?

[gunnerranch]

Mikey do you ever use your hydro wave anymore ?

[charlespetit]

did you install a dedicated lithium for this set up?

[jimmyboss]

Another good reason to use electric tape over zip
1.When fishing a lot.a grass. The tape won't grab the like zip ties will and the grass is easier to clear from the TM.
2. Zip ties can leave a sharp edge that could cut your line is the fish get around the TM.

Great vid Mike, love your style an dog too (I have two on my boat:)).
One question on active target interference, I use it a lot with forward mode, also mounted on ghost shaft with hds live 12, I have contrast way up and usually noise setting at medium, still I have lots of interference, wondering if that is not from regular sonar in the ghost or smthg else:/.. do you switch off that sonar maybe? Any other advice from you or Nathan?🙏,
Best regards from Poland:)
Robert
