But if you try it let us know what you think about it.
I just want it for when Im runnin and the depth, nothing really else, since when Im ease around slow, I have the 898 for that
That was the original reason for it Larry!
That is what I thought you told me, see WB you wanna sayin sumpin smart alecky now to Hugh LOL this may come as a shock to you but "you just might not know everything about everything" LOL j/kQuote:

Yep, depth is all I want while runnin faster than Idle, Hugh so how is your boat comin long ?Quote:

My boat is coming along. I had it high speed buffed this week and it looks great! Going to mount the two seat bases up front this weekend. My rod holders should be here next week just in time for the tournament. I can't wait to get it on the water.
Don't do it!!!!! I'll only charge 30 bucks for the advice, and that's half what that junk cost!!!
Brm
you sound like a man that has "been there done that" or know somebody that has :)Quote:
