ND Bait Boat Problems

Bait boats have become a staple in the carp fishing world, but as with all technology, issues can arise. ND bait boats have been the center of recent discussions due to potential GPS and remote connection problems. This article summarizes the challenges faced by ND bait boat users and the potential solutions provided by the community.

Problem

Users have been facing problems setting up the “Home” and “Spots” using the remote. After holding down the CH button to set the home, there’s just a bleep from the remote and two from the boat without the light indicating that the home is set. The GPS blinks blue, which seems to suggest an issue with the GPS connection or system.

Possible Solutions

1. Hard Resetting the System: Some users wonder if there’s a way to perform a hard reset using a combination of buttons, though this isn’t confirmed.
2. Expert Assistance: Reaching out to professionals or repair centers, such as Joe at Bait Boat Solutions, can provide insight. ND’s official response to some users has been the possibility of a faulty remote, which they’ve offered to replace.
3. Using the App: Some issues could be related to the app. One user pointed out that initially, they expected some functionalities which turned out to be premium. There’s also a detailed way of setting “Home” and “Spots” using the CH button on the remote after driving the boat to the desired location.
4. GPS Issues: For many, the persistent issue seems to revolve around the GPS light blinking blue, suggesting that there’s no GPS connection. Some steps to troubleshoot include:
   • Ensuring you’re in an open area with a clear sky for the best GPS signal.
   • Re-registering the boat and the app.
   • Making sure auto-updates are turned off to avoid overwriting old settings.
   • If the boat is new, ensuring that the boat and the app are both registered and synced properly.
5. Faulty GPS Board: ND Tackle UK suggested for one user that their bait boat might have a faulty GPS board. If the GPS issues persist despite trying all troubleshooting methods, the boat might need to be sent back for repair or replacement.
6. Remote Clarification: The term “dodgy r note” seems to have been a typo for “dodgy remote.” ND has addressed this by offering to replace the faulty remote for affected users.
7. Contacting ND Directly: One user resolved their GPS issue by providing ND with their boat ID number from the app. ND was able to reset the GPS remotely, resolving the issue.

ND bait boats seem to be generally appreciated for their value for money and design. However, like any piece of tech, they can present challenges.
