The marks will be stored on the plotter, they are not stored on the active captain card, so once you 'sync' with the plotter, they will all come back on active captain. Good thing is, you can play around at home until you get it right, without having to go to the boat. I haven't updated my charts for nearly 2 years, TBH very little changes.

You need to get to this on active captain, and then it will dump to the plotter ok.

BTW Neil, the chart I use is VEU001R, which is the English Channel and western approaches.

Use delete charts from the chart screen, top right hand button 👍

Ok, I think I had a similar issue when Garmin used the ‘chart tiles’ in active captain. once you get the shading working in active captain, then it will work when you dump it on the plotter. I think you just need to start again, by deleting your current chart selection, make sure you have ‘download relief shading’ ticked, and then reselect the area you want. I noted that the boatless unwashed is taking the pee, we can wait 😉🙄🤣🤣👍

Fixed that for yer 😉😇👍

When you did the download to active captain, did you try to dowload the whole chart, or did you set the adjustable download area, the the area that you normally operate in (i.e. solent, isle of wight etc) ?

Does the chart number start with VEU ?

That is not right, and the reason why you have no shading on the plotter. I am out at the moment and I need to think about it.

Relief shading only works when transferred via active captain. Only a chart can be transferred using Garmin Express. when it did the cart transfer to the active captain card, the active captain app should have downloaded the chart from garmin, then validated the download, then transferred the chart to the plotter card, then validated the transferred data, so 4 steps that seem to take forever ! once transferred, you need to reboot your plotter, by turning off. Sometimes you also need to remove the card, and then reinsert as the plotters seem to forget it is there.

Well, we need to start from the beginning. Have you downloaded the correct chart with relief shading ? There are 2 versions of the charts, one with and one without. Does the shading show ok when using the active captain app ? If not then enable that layer using the control in the top right hand corner. Lowrance vs Garmin ? ….. Garmin kit is generally better made, more reliable, and more intuitive to use 👍

Mine are stored in the secure fishing shed. When I get home with the boat, the rods are first to come off the boat and all are hosed down with a fine spray nozzle. Once dry, the reel covers are put on, ready for storage.

How thick would a spacer need to be so that the handbrake energy retainer bracket sits a couple of mm above that cross member ? The spacers are commercially available, there is one fitted on my Ifor Williams 2T trailer, they are usually aluminium, so weight is not an issue, but raising the hitch height maybe an issue if it is more them 10 or 15 mm. Here is a pic from my ifor, which uses the same hitch, and you can clearly see the spacer, which looks like 20mm

In that case you need to reign in a member of the SLT, who was the instigator of this wayward thread direction. His attempts at humour are quite pathetic. Perhaps he needs to attend a management course 🙄

You really are a total fuckwit. Your technical ability couldn't engineer your way out of a paper bag, much less interrogate the forum stats. Carry on dreaming.

You really know how to degrade what is essentially a good discussion forum. Sinking to these sort of unacceptable depths is not helpful, and as a member of the SLT, you should know better and equally you should stop making yourself look a complete twat. I am sure @Andy135and @Saintly Fishare exasperated by your poor thought process

I guess even a simple search on the forum is way beyond your technical expertise 🙄

No, I don't keep faggot porn on my phone, I just linked to it on here 🙄

Well tbh to get one out of 3 aint bad 😉😇🤣🖕

God forbid, you really are an ugly faggot with an ego the size of a feckin planet. let folk judge on your faggotness,

The Slimy Lazy Twats..

RIP Gordon Lightfoot, the sun finally went down at 84

The beak tells us it is definitely a Wren of some sort. The other possibility was a juvenile Thrush, but they are also very mottled, and we have loads of them in the garden at the moment.

Yes, most definitely. You tend to get them above the Pollock in mid water, and they go straight down when hooked, no stopping. Also, they fight all the way to the boat. Another interesting point is that unlike Pollock, Coalfish don't suffer from 'barotrauma', meaning their swim bladder does not blow up. After over 30 years of not seeing any, we are catching a few small Coalfish (5lb ish) on the wrecks now, but they are not in any great numbers.

That is a very good fish Josh, these days you really have to work hard to get fish above 15lb, but there are still some stonkers out there. I remember the days when we used to get almost as many Coalies off the wrecks as we did Pollock, and some of the Coalies were getting on for 20lb. My best Pollock stands at 24lb, which I caught 55 years ago, on a very famous conger charter out of Brixham.
