Home › Forums › Bass Cat Boats › Question for BCB on temp sensor wiring?
My Classic came with two temperature sensors on the transom. One is wired to the front of the boat and the other is wired to the console. The sensor to the console is not working and I was wondering if I could re-route the wiring on the second sensor from the front of the boat back to the console? Both of my units are Lowrance if that makes a difference.Everyone should believe in something. I believe Ill just go fishing!
If your units are conected on a NEMA network, you can connect the good sensor to the network and have it available to both units.You can select the NEMA temp on both units rather than the local (“fixed connected”) temp and it will work. Your Signature …
Catmantwo, here is more information…….I have replaced the Lowrance unit up front with a Humminbird that has a transducer with temperature sensor mounted to the trolling motor. So now I have a sensor wire/connector going to the front of the boat that I would like to route to the console. I dont know the route for this wire and if it would be possible to pull it back to the console or not. Thats would I would like to do if possible. Comments?Everyone should believe in something. I believe Ill just go fishing!
So you have a HB in dash and want to reroute the transducer there. We dont mount two in the rear for the bow and have no idea what your configuration is, though it is possible.
Do you have an in dash flasher(1440), if so the second temp sensor may be going to the flasher (it was on my PIV).I am not sure how Bass Cat handled the temp sensor for the front if you had the thru hull transducer mounted up front, I think on my PIV it was in the transducer because it took a little time to “equalize” once I put the boat in the water. It would start out high or low depending on the outside air temp.If it is from a flasher, you should be able to switch it over to your lowrance unit easily.Jim Last edited by catmantwo on July 29th, 2010, 5:04 pm, edited 1 time in total.Your Signature …

One more try.My boat came with a Lowrance Sonar on the front with a transducer mounted in the middle of the boat and a temp sensor mounted on the outside of the transom. It also contained a Lowrance LMS332 in the dash with a transducer mounted in the rear of the boat and a temp sensor also mounted on the outside of the transom.All I want to know at this point is “can I re-route or pull the wiring and plug for the temp sensor from the front of the boat back to the console?” Everyone should believe in something.

Maybe. I dont know which way it was routed. If it was routed with the other wiring it maybe cable-tied and could be difficult to “pull” back twards the console. Make sure that it will fit your 332 (temp probe ts-1pl). If the front was the same unit, or also used the TS-1PL you should be ok.Make sure the connectors are the same as some units made in the 332 timeframe were not necessarily networkable and had different connectors.Sorry I cant help anymore than that as it sounds like it is not a standard BCB setup, perhaps the front unit was a dealer upgrade, which would make it eaiser to pull the connector back since it might not be cable-tied.Another thing to keep in mind is that the “standard” length of the cable was 15ft, optionally 20ft or a 4-5 footer. with at least 18in. going down the transom that leaves 18 1/2 ft to get to the bow (tight fit for a 19ft boat), so it probably has an extension cable (5 ft or 12ft I think). That means the excess cable is probably wrapped together near the bow. How much slack did you have up front? If the main cable was cable tied, you might be able to find the extension, unwrap it and run it back to the console with a fishtape.You might be real lucky and both sensors had the shorty from the transom into the bilge. If so, then all you need to do is swap the blue connectors in the bilge area. Too many options. Probably why BCB doesnt likt to run temp sensors to a fron graph from the transom.Last edited by catmantwo on July 30th, 2010, 1:03 pm, edited 2 times in total.Your Signature …
Thanks Catmantwo.You gave me a few hints about what to look for. It would be great if I could find a connector beneath the console where an extension was added to bring it to the front of the boat. Everyone should believe in something. I believe Ill just go fishing!
