![]() There is one USB wire that runs from the back of the dock to the actual SonicHub. However Lowrance did simplify the madness making it only necessary to thread the needle a few times. Running the wires is your typical headache since most boats weren’t really built to work on. I’m not typically a do-it-yourself guy, so I had a little help with the technical side of the installation. The days of lugging around a boom box powered by D batteries are a thing of the past, and may I say, good riddance. Once your iPhone, iPod, MP3 or flash drive is connected to the dock you can close the waterproof front cover and control your music directly from your Lowrance HDS display.ĪM/FM and SIRIUS Radio controls are also available through your display so that you can check the weather or listen to your favorite college team play football while out on the water enjoying some fall fishing. The basic SonicHub package comes with an iPod dock that can be placed in dash for easy access. It can also be used to play AM/FM radio and SIRIUS Radio. For starters, the SonicHub does much more than just play music, although it does that very well. However, after running my boat with the SonicHub for about a month now, I highly doubt I’ll own another boat without it. After all it’s hard to hear a 5-pounder splash behind the boat with Sweet Home Alabama blaring from mid-deck. It would just cloud my senses and prevent the interpretation of nature through sound that is often key to fish catches. I am a pretty avid competitor and thought initially that music didn’t really have any place on a bass boat. It sure would have been nice to have a little something to drown out that deafening silence.Īlthough this is a bit of a dramatization, it is just one instance in which the versatile Lowrance SonicHub would have come in handy. I thought to myself this would be a great place for the filming of Deliverance 2 and began to listen closely for the dreaded sound of banjos. I was just taxiing along as fast as 36 volts could take me, hoping to find open water or at least a deep enough ditch to cover the outboard prop. After about an hour of eager exploration, the available water had gotten too shallow for me to fish and too narrow to turn around. I once found myself in the midst of a bull whip jungle on Lake Okeechobee, to my knowledge miles from any other mammal with opposable thumbs. ![]()
