Point-1

[GoneFishingLTN]

Hello I have a v-18tracker it’s a 18.5 foot boat. I have the point-1 installed just right in front of the console to the right side of the boat. I’ve been having trouble hitting my way points while casting even though I’m 9 foot off. Is there any tips? Should I adjust settings? Or?

Have you calibrated it.

 

Also 20' +- is normal for a gps.

Just watch the video how to no. But I have it selected and it still turns when I turn. So when I mark a spot do I just always guess when casting?

should I move my point one does it just take practice?

I'm not sure I understand the question entirely. I like to mark two spots, one for the actual spot, and one for ideal boat position.

How do you do this? 

I have the point one in the middle of my boat and am just having trouble casting to the waypoint I made. 

Was wondering if I need to have it moved?

Jigman is right.  It needs to be calibrated.  If not it may be way off.  Once calibrated its pretty close to spot on for me.

H'bird SI.  Drop a point.  Cursor over to the spot, and drop another.  Edit the way points using custom icons.  I'm not sure how the Lowrance system works.

 

Anyway, sounds like you might need to calibrate.
