Thread: First Post - New to C.com

Hi guys,

I've been around forums for about a decade and have my own that I manage for the retriever community.

I wanted to quickly say "Hi" and see what you guys know about my new trolling motor. I've got a first grade son and one two years younger than him, and we are all pretty psyched to get into the Lake Shelbyville crappie. This weekend, we are converting our duckboat to a fish-catching rig.



I have an aluminum 17 foot boat with the bowmount bracket already in place. I went with the MinKota Edge 55 lb foot control unit that Rogers Sporting Goods had in their recent flyer. It also came, at a very competitive price, with a depth finder (Humminbird pirhanamax 215).

I ordered the quick-release base, to make it pop off for quick removal.

You guys may see me on here from time-to-time as I try to put these young boys on some fish.

1) anybody have any experience with the MinnKota Edge unit I got, or wtih the depth finder? Any comments or suggestions?

2) any suggestions on mounting or placement of the depth finder?

Thanks much guys! I'm glad to be here!

Chris
