Very informative, straight forward and, I appreciate the fact you did not use any useless fowl or offensive language 😊

*I bought this model for my 14 ft Jon boat. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend love it!!! It pushes my boat with ease ( 2 men 220 each). I would highly recommend this to anyone.*

Thx for going over the proper mounting position of the active target the dealer had it reversed and I found your video and just unscrewed it flipped it and it worked!

[Bowhunter]

Thanks for the info Paul. Great install video. 👍🏻

Great, detailed video Paul. I don’t see why they didn’t put a D for Down, S for Scout, and F for Forward on the bracket and/or the transducer. That would have made it so much easier!

[johnshear]

Very good! I appreciate the details and tips. Having those hash marks is a smart design feature. I do wonder why they need an external ground wire instead of using the ground that already comes in the power cord. Kudos for not using bubble wrap. LOL!

[paulfreeman]

Hey Paul, great video. Maybe the manufacturer will see the need to make the hash marks white on the final product!

Took Lowrance 2 1/2 years to catch up to Garmin but this one looks good! I do think they forgot to copy the method of changing the position of the transducer. Who wants to unscrew knobs every time you want to change the position of the transducer? A CLICK like Garmin would have been FAR superior. I wonder if the Garmin bracket that clicks would fit a Lowrance transducer? Great video!

I got a question. My garmins turn on at the same time when one is powered on.. my lowrance hds units dont and need to be turned on independently.. but i do have the yellow wires connected from the bow and helm unit.. cant figure out why they don’t turn in st the same time..

Can i mount my Active target transducer to the transom of my boat for salmon jigging in salt water ? And if so how would i mount it ?

[irmorocksthebeats]

Great video. How many batteries do you have on your boat and which battery are you running the power to? Love the Phoenix boats, has all the room to do anything and everything you want.

If the trolling motor is flipped the other way, so the prop is out, then is it OK for the transducer to be just the opposite of what’s in this video?

[glenndaugherity]

Paul have you seen the Fish Obsessed transducer bracket ? If you have any thoughts ?

[TX_Nupe]

Question, are you using Ghost 360 with your active target? If so can you tell me about the wiring of the system using both?

[AnglersEdgeMapping]

Great video, thanks for making it. Question re: yellow wake-up wire - if connecting it to the yellow wire from your chartplotter, does that prevent the active target module from drawing power when the chartplotter is powered off?

[thedutchfisherman]

Great video but no follow-up on the water video anymore??? ☹

[stevephillipsjr]

Just installed AT today and wired according to your recommendation. Black-Ground, Blue-Not Used, Red/Yellow-Hot and wired together downstream of the fuse. It all appears to be functioning correctly; however, the light on the power is flashing green and yellow. Is that correct or should it stay solid green? Any feedback would be appreciated. I have tried to find in the manual....no luck. Great video and thanks for putting this together!

[chrissmith]

Can 1 AT2 module show the Scout mode only or the forward facing mode only with the Lowrance Live or Pro head unit?? Then do you just manually adjust the module for the other view?

[patrickwooten]

Hey paul love the video. Super helpful have a question I cant find an answer to I've upgrade to hds live from gen3 will the 3d structure scan still work with the live and will it work with active target on the same unit or would it be best to have 2 separate units one for each

[gotgills]

Got everything set up, but my unit came with no grounding screw. What are the specs to get a replacement and how dangerous is it to run without the ground?
