    I have just installed it and will test it tomorrow. In the past I never had and issue with level. I would think the manufacture would know what to do for best picture quality. But you never know if something would help out.

    Please post a picture. I was thinking of doing this too.

    I was more curious than anything about how the sonar reacts to different materials and differently shaped surfaces.

    I wish a person could see what is the best bang for your buck. Some of the big guys and industry first make a top-quality product. But it is a top quality price. I’m sure some out there are as good for a lot less money, but how does a person know with it all being so new and so many companies popping up.

    If you go with the snow bear he will put you on fish. If you are going out on your own be ready to move around. Drill and scan, drill and scan. It is not like before when you sat there and they come through. It needs to be a mobile attack. Once you find them you can make hay.

    It is normally best to go up after walleye is done, you have the lake to yourself.

    My wife was the first one to drive the new boat, she is a lot easier on the eyes than I. I backed her in and let her do the honors. After spending all that money, it was the least I could do. She does a great job at the landing when we take the kids out.

    Sorry, for not posting pictures the first time.
    I will have to try the different depths of fenders.
    I know there is a learning curve, I don’t want to power load feet as I like to line up and then crank a few times after placing it on the trailer. I will have to go to a landing and try it till I get it right.

    Thanks

    I bought a new to me boat at the end of September. I did not get out enough in it and I want early ice off. 12-inch Garmin to mount to the dash and rig the transducer. Spring can’t come soon enough.

    Sorry to hear.

    I put mine on a Marcum shuttle. I would not do that again. They come with a laptop battery that does not last long. I wish it did as they are a great setup. I like the rod holders and the LED light is great at night.

    I would do a Genz pack and lithium battery. Cheap and simple. Your Gimble mount can screw right into the plastic.

    Others like Bass Khang make nice stuff as well.

    You hit the nail on the head. Rich people buying private land and get a lot of public land in the sale. There is a reason for this, they have the money and influence to make public private. It should never be an issue but money talks

    I know it was stated above about amps but it was calculated wrong.

    Batteries in parallel the voltage stays the same and amps are the sum of batteries.

    For batteries in series, the voltage increases for sum of the batteries, and amps stay the same.

    Example 3 batteries in series make 36 volts; if all 90 AH batteries, you still only have 90 amps. Of those 90 amps, you can use 45 amps before you get a voltage too low.

    So, a 100 amp littium would give you more than double the run time.

    It is easy to get series and parallel rules mixed up.

    I think for the most part Bird has the best maps.
    I have been creating my own maps on lakes I fish with my Garmin as they are pretty far off. I hope they can get it figured out at a price that does not kill a person.

    That is a good idea. It is a great feature on tillers.

    We were there on Sunday and did really well.
    We pulled lead in 30-35 foot of water where we marked fish and we got one. We switched to gold jigs with minnows. Did some drifting off of structure in the 25-32 feet of water. When the wind changed we looked at structures that were wind-blown. We found fish in 26 next to breaks that were moving up. They just sat up against them. We pitched the jigs and bounced them back. Some times we even dragged it in the mudd. Made sure to pound the mudd and keep the jig near the bottom.
    It worked for us hope you have some luck.

    If they taste good and you like them, you are doing them right!

    To much click bait stuff on the internet.

    I have spy point cell cam and have been happy. 100 pictures a month for free. It is nice. I can upgrade to get more pictures during the season.

    That is the cleanest boat I have seen. Wow does your dad take care of his stuff. I’m looking for a 21 or new, redesigned hull and cockpit one.
    Thank you though.

    Some amazing person on here made a dive chart for 5 foot and 7 foot. I have it in my boat and love to pass it on to anyone learning lead core. It works amazingly.

    Thanks for the advice. I know that I’m looking for a very specific boat but that is ok I wait till a 1910 or 2060 comes up. I have been working and saving for 4 years not like it is a big deal to wait and get what I want. Buy once cry once.

    I’m hoping there is a good purge before ice season and I can get into a boat for a decent price.

    You will need a drawing of the umbrella.
    You can get someone to make it or if someone has a 3D scanner to get it into digital form. There are lots of places that will print it for a price.
    https://www.thingiverse.com/ This is a place where people put designs on to share of sell. Could see if you could find one that works on the site.

    Glad to hear some companies that are good to their customers.
    Stay away from 13 fishing. I had a defect and I could not get them to answer anything and others I know had the same experience. I finally gave up trying to contact them.
