GPS PCBA board kit

The Lowrance 000-15255-001 PCBA GPS kit is an essential internal component designed specifically for Lowrance Ghost bow motors. It integrates the GPS functions required for advanced motor operation, providing precise positioning and navigation capabilities.

This kit enables the Lowrance Ghost engine to use an internal GPS with high precision, providing advanced features such as:

Spot Lock mode to automatically hold a fixed position.Heading lock to navigate on a predefined course.Waypoint or route navigation.Remote anchoring and other advanced functions, available with appropriate software updates and compatible multifunction displays.

The GPS PCBA 000-15255-001 kit is designed to be compatible with Lowrance Ghost electric motors.

The GPS PCBA kit is compatible with the following Lowrance multifunction displays, provided they have the latest software:

Lowrance HDS ProLowrance HDS LiveLowrance HDS CarbonLowrance Elite FS

Yes, for compatibility and optimal operation, compatible Lowrance multifunction displays (HDS Pro, HDS Live, HDS Carbon, Elite FS) must have the latest software installed.

Yes, the GPS PCBA kit 000-15255-001 integrates with the NMEA 2000 system of the Lowrance Ghost electric bow thruster. This enables seamless communication with compatible Lowrance multifunction displays, providing full touchscreen control from the display.

The kit includes the following items:

1x PCB Test Assembly (GPS printed circuit board) 2x Torx screws, size #6 x 3/8 1x GPS PCBA cable

Yes, integrating an external compass (such as the TMC-1) is required and contributes to precise directional control and the provision of valid heading data for the Lowrance Ghost electric motor.

If you experience missing GPS signals or invalid heading data, you must check the external compass connection (TMC-1) and recalibrate the bow offset. If the issue persists after calibration, it is recommended to contact a service center.

The GPS PCBA kit is an essential internal component of the Lowrance Ghost electric bow motor. It can serve as a replacement part in case of failure of the existing GPS component, or be required to fully enable GPS features if the motor was not originally equipped with one or for an upgrade.

The GPS PCBA kit is an internal component of the Ghost motor, which is compatible with 24V DC or 36V DC power systems. The kit therefore operates within these motor power configurations.

When installing cables, avoid sharp bends. Leave service loops to prevent cable damage and ensure longevity.

Yes, after installing or factory resetting the bow thruster, it is necessary to recalibrate the bow offset to ensure accurate operation of navigation and anchoring functions.

Yes, thanks to NMEA 2000 integration and compatibility with Lowrance HDS Pro, HDS Live, HDS Carbon, and Elite FS multifunction displays (with the latest software), this kit provides full touchscreen control of steering, speed, navigation, and anchoring directly from the display.

The GPS PCBA kit is specifically designed to integrate with Lowrance multifunction displays from the HDS Pro, HDS Live, HDS Carbon, and Elite FS series. The technical documentation does not mention compatibility with displays from other brands.

The external compass is crucial for providing accurate heading data to the Lowrance Ghost electric motor system. Combined with GPS data from the PCBA kit, this enables functions such as heading lock and precise anchoring.

The PCBA GPS kit is an internal component of the Lowrance Ghost electric motor. It is integrated inside the motor to provide its GPS functionality.

"PCBA" stands for "Printed Circuit Board Assembly", indicating it is an assembled printed circuit board containing all the electronic components required for the GPS function.

The Lowrance Ghost motor can operate for basic functions without the GPS PCBA kit. However, advanced GPS positioning features such as anchor mode (Spot Lock), heading lock, and waypoint navigation require the installation and proper functioning of this kit.

The kit integrates with the Ghost engine’s NMEA 2000 system. To ensure correct communication, verify the NMEA 2000 wiring and confirm that the appropriate sources are selected on the multifunction display, as indicated in your display’s documentation.
