Tested mine today and the picture looks good.

Its for sure bluetooth. You can run it from their app if you wanted to.

My understanding is thats the only difference. I recently bought the DSC one. Im not super well educated on them though.

I follow what garmin includes in their instructions and havnt had problems. Actually installing a ducer today same way though.

Get yourself a dowsing stick

I had a smoker craft pro mag 171(same company as StarCraft) and it was a good boat. A few little things that warranty covered no problem. That hull is different than the delta’s and mine wasn’t the smoothest ride but it was a dry boat. The delta’s hull design is supposed to be better. We looked at the full windshield delta model before getting our alumacraft and they seemed like nice boats as well.

Ended up with an alumacraft as well. Those new 17ft storms were tempting though. Pretty reasonable.

Saw this. When I was up at vermilion last september we saw a handful of guides just using licescope off each side and cruising basins. When they would see one the client would standup and make three casts with different lures at it. Pretty crazy to see.

Im just glad to see the majority support leaving uneatable deer parts at the kill site.

will work no problem until you try to put a mounting board over top as it will not sit well over the exposed screws

My mounting board wont fit where the current ducer is so its not an issue

I called a few repair shops and they all said to use a stainless screw covered with marine sealant. I will probably just do this with the existing screws. Thanks for the ideas!

How much for just the coordinates?

The direction this went is wild

Agreed with mike & BC. Granted I have found stands in very good areas where the deer do just sneak around it. Ive seen some pretty good action hunting just off some of those on the trails the deer use to cut by.

That is amazing! I only have a 24 volt system, but wow technology is coming a long way.

Its not cheap! But a pretty slick upgrade.

Its funny you brought this up. I just installed the same battery in mine. I do have the cover over mine as i dont have a ton of spinning setups in the locker. Good choice!

Be aware that 5200 is quite liquidy (it’ll drip) and takes quite a while to cure. Mask of anywhere it might get. Agree that it’s the right stuff for the job, though.

Just fill the holes or fill the holes and put the screws back in?

Why do you want to remove the transducers? New electronics? My last boat had the transducers installed like yours from the dealer and while I didn’t care for it they never leaked. When I got my new boat I made sure they put a board on the back to mount the transducers to.

Yeah going to run a different set of graphs

This is your best bet. It’s what I’ve done on my boat.

Ive got one of these coming to try. Fill the holes full of 5200 and slap this over top?

My wife drives a way less gay version of the Ridgeline (Trailsport Pilot)

Ain’ts nobody getting 29mpg with either. She’s gets 23 at best, with tank to tank around 20mpg.

Towing our little river boat drops to 15-16 mpg.

She must have a lead foot! I get 24-26 in the summer and 21-23 in the winter. 19ish towing with the ridgeline of course

What’s that funny looking thing to the left of the boat??

A truck right?

Same truck. 2” drop. Its been great

That seems really weird. Can people jump into your car if you’re on a highway and your car is considered public? Strange ruling.

Its a good time. We used to drag nets along park point this time of year in college. They dont taste the best but it was fun!

Booze it up on Friday night as usual. Sleep in a bit on Saturday, maybe hit the water by 10am or so.

Don’t get the midnight thing??….I’d be wrecked for the rest of the weekend..

Its easier when you cut the boozing

It’s all in good fun, I’m poking fun at Mr Carter.
I could only hope every one drives what makes them happy. No need for a full size if you don’t need it. I wish a had a early 90s ranger still

Ya’ll just wish you were as cool as me

I will probably hang around the metro somewhere. Maybe the outskirts if im feeling fancy

The ridgeline handles a 175 competitor with a 75hp just fine. Granted I just bought the boat this week so I dont have many miles yet. More to come on that.

They actually do say they do carry it. But again you would need levels high enough to actually transfer it. https://news.wisc.edu/ticks-may-be-able-to-spread-chronic-wasting-disease-between-wisconsin-deer/

Another interesting find is they are testing ticks to see if they carry the prion related to CWD. They believe they do but its not enough to matter.

So… when do you pickup your ridgeline?
