Solix / Re: Wiring and Battery Power Questions

Ok, so you're saying the choice of re-wire (using 10/2ga) is good? The issue  is really about the battery ?

Yes 10/2 gauge dedicated runs to the battery is good for individual units ...

Heavier wire is recommended when making a run from the battery to a dedicated fuse panel that multiple devices would be fed from  ...

The older core units were notorious for weird GPS issues if the current track was allowed to continue to the point of reaching the maximum track point capacity  (50,000 track points IIRC) ... in which case the unit starts overwriting older track points in the current track  ...

If the track is important for future fishing - it might be a good idea to save the current track and then delete current track  ...

This allows access to the saved track in the Waypoints Routes Tracks Menu under the Nav tab  ...

And also allows the unit GPS to function with a new current track  ...

Your plan is valid  with a watchful caveat  ...

If you start to see low voltage on either SOLIX over your normal fishing day - temporarily remove the other accessories from the battery and test another normal fishing day with only the SOLIXs on the battery  ...

If that rectifies low voltage on either SOLIX over the normal fishing day - that’s a good indication to explore adding a second battery for boat accessories  ... leaving only the SOLIXs on the electronics battery  ...

997c SI, 998c SI & 999ci HD SI / GPS track problems with 998
« Last post by jexeric@gmail.com on April 03, 2024, 07:13:22 PM »
I've recently been having issues with the GPS track on my old 998.  It's an older unit....but it's basically only used for mapping now.   

The problem is the track that displays doesn't show where I've actually gone, instead it basically shows point to point where it must have pinged last to where I am at that time?   

I have the time interval set to 1 second....anything else to check or is it probably just shot?

thanks

Solix / Wiring and Battery Power Questions
« Last post by proskeeterman@comcast.net on April 03, 2024, 05:31:39 PM »
I have recently started to upgrade my onboard electronics. I have acquired a new Solix 15 MSI G2 (for bow) and a used Solix 12 MSI G3 (for console). In process of wiring them up now with 10/2 ga wire. One set to run from bow to battery independent of a 2nd set from console to battery. First question, is the 10/2 ga wire adequate? Second question, will my 31 group starting battery be adequate for both graphs and on board pumps? I don't tournament fish anymore, so using live wells is kind of a mute point and the bilge pumps are as needed.   As always I'm appreciative of your replies.

To see the hours on the unit make “Visible” the System Status view under the Views tab  ...

Then exit out of the menus and cycle thru the Views until the System Status view displays  ...

8052105-0056

8 = 2008
05 = May
21 = 21st day of the month
05 = assembly line #05
0056 = 56(th) unit built on above assembly line on above date

Can someone tell me how to breakdown the serial# on my older 997c NVB (8052105-0056)? Also I have lost my book on it, can I tell how many hours are on the unit? Thank you.
