Oops thought I deleted one picture
Thought maybe you had bought 2 you one and me one:Rofl
Nope just really excited to get it all installed and linked up to the 1199 and the ipilot upfront . Sweet
Gobob; I just couldn't resist the small joke I posted. Hope you get well soon from the viral infection. Maybe the global warming will kick in soon and melt everything so you can get back to fishing and try that new toy out. Be safe and good luck fishing:fish
Let me borrow both of them and try them out to see if they work
Hope you enjoy it.
The fun part is installing it all, after that it's just play time. Got to decide how to mount transducer on the transom Any thoughts ?
Congrats man, if you have a jack plate mount it there, no holes in your transom that way.
No jack plate on mine and thanks
Nice:cheers2
I don't know about you but I have never liked to drill any holes in my boat especially below the water. If I were you I would be looking and trying to find ways to mount transducer without making holes in the boat. I think they are thick plastic boards that they glue to the transom and then screw everything to them. Also seen where they use strong magnets to hold them but I would not trust them. My thoughts would be to try and find a 1/2" x 4"-6" piece of hard plastic as wide as your transom at the bottom of boat use some good marine glue or gorilla glue to boat then you can mount everything were and when you want too. You may want to use another transducer on the other side later I have a transducer on both sides in the back of the boat and one on my trolling motor. That is my 2 cents worth and it didn't cost you anything. Be safe and good luck fishing:fish
Like this.

Yeah I saw one on the site that glues on guy put it on his new 195 tracker. I think it's i. The show off your boat section
I used the Stern Mate on my Stinger. Expensive, but no holes in boat. Plus, you can move xducer around. And add other options as well. There are pic on the forum of my install if interested.
jealous of that 999.

Direct me to your installQuote:

I think they need to build a Crappie.com edition all decked out the way we like it lol
Looks like you found it.....Quote:

I was going to ask you for that Thank you. Fighting the flu and there's 12" plus ice on our lakes so I got time
I know you've got to be happy I guess I'll be shooting for the trolling motor first.
