    Cold weather outboard questions?

    This is my first year owning a boat, and I keep it in the water at a slip in the Chesapeake Bay. I'm planning on winterizing it, but want to be able to use it while the fishing is good, up until it gets too cold (center console). I was thinking sometime around the beginning-mid December and was...

    Need help with Lowrance LCX-111c HD and Navionics after updating software

    I have a Lowrance LCX-111c HD, along with a LGC-2000 GPS Module. I just upgraded the software on the LCX from 1.4.0 to 2.1.0 and the GPS module to 1.9.0. It seems to have reset a bunch of my settings. I have Navionics Gold Maps (from 2006). ((how often should these be upgraded BTW)) I selected...
