I've got a Lowrance GPS/Fishfinder (LMS-335), and need to test that the GPS is working OK. Anyone know if I can run the unit without frying something in the sonar with the boat on the trailer?
GPS worked fine all last season then on the last day moving the boat for haul out, GPS wouldn't acquire signal at the dock or it would get a signal and then lose it a few seconds later while underway. I checked cable connections as best I could at the time, but the GPS was still unreliable. I've since cleaned up the pins and connections (no obvious corrosion or oxidation), and am ready to re-test but don't want to zap my sonar in the process. Any thoughts on how to test?
