    Question Temperature


    Where is the temperature sensor on the echomap?
    Doesn't seem to be on the transducer. The reading is too high. I've noticed the temperature reading to be higher than the outside air.

    It is in the ducer (little silver circle). During this time of year it is very common to have water Temps higher than air Temps especially in the mornings.

    If you are talking about when the transducer is out of the water and temp is higher than air temp, that is probably because the the sunshine and black plastic of the transducer create quite a bit higher temp than air temp.

    What do you guys use as a gauge to determine the accuracy of the temp reported by the ducer?

    I don't ... I just average it, since my Garmin/LS temp is always different from my Hook 7 temp, even though they're both on the TM and no more than a foot or so from each other.

    My concern is the reading is 71* When the water is obviously 20* colder. The livescope doesn't have a sensor .

    Yes it does, it even lists it in the specs. ( Garmin Panoptix LiveScope™ LVS12 Transducer )

    Maybe your LS transducer is faulty ??
