I have a weird, frustrating problem and I am wondering if anyone here can shed some light on it.
I have a Lowrance HDS 8 (Gen. 1) display unit and I just installed a Lowrance 3G radar. To get the radar to display on the chartplotter I also installed a SIMRAD RC42 heading sensor.
The radar displays fine on the chartplotter. The problem is that when running the boat the black arrow position indicator now points to due south instead of north and all my movements are now plotted in complete reverse. The north arrow in the top right corner of the screen points to 180 degrees opposite of north - everything is displayed in reverse!
I have looked at all the various settings and they all seem fine and I can do nothing to fix this situation. It must be linked to the RC42 heading sensor as everything worked fine before it was installed.
Anybody have any ideas on what the problem could be?
