That Versa track system on the tracker is nice but they are expensive, I bought 8 rod holders from Academy Sports and got some quarter inch carriage bolts Wing nuts and washers and a drill bit and made all my rod holders work without having a drill a single hole in the boat total cost of all the hardware rod holders less than $100Attachment 319067

I ended up using a piece of fence post. Attached that to the versa track and then mounted my t-bars to that and trolling bar at the back.
I just ordered me a garmin 7sv for it a few mins ago
I have a Garmin 7sv too. It shows real good images.
I am going to mount mine on the trolling motor.. Side imaging works best around 4 or 5 mph I guess so I will just ultra low speed with the engine or use the trolling motor to find them
Brian at b & g can get you another transducer to mount at transom along with power cord. I have done tha and Mount with ram mount arm. Just unhook a few cables and undo one knob on the ram mount and you can move it. Brian can probably get you a cheaper transducer that doesn’t use the side imagining if you want.
Good looking rig!
Anybody know if this trolling motor will work with the GPS model? How can I tell if it's a v2...Attachment 319241Attachment 319242Attachment 319243

got my answer from Minn kota.... it will work!
Well I did it, I bought the ipilot conversion kit
Sounds like your gonna be all set next trip out! It's exciting isn't it?
yup I gave it up for a few years and now I am back into it, the sonar will be here in a couple of days the ipilot will be here tomorrow... I would like to put the sonar on the console but there isn't anywhere to put it so I guess I will use the trolling motor mount for it
So tired of fighting the boat in wind, and hate to drop anchors
The wife loves to go fishing too and hopefully I will be able now to keep us both on the spots
The only bad part is if i want my new fish finder on the console where the hell would I put it?Attachment 319266

Good Idea but I think I am going to mount it on the trolling motor instead and just leave the factory one there...Quote:

Ok now I am aggravated, The powerdrive has that box and you have to do that funky spring trick to keep the transducer wire from getting chopped up and I have no place to mount this 7SV on my console...
I may need a pro install , who can do it for me?
Ipilot works great and just finished installing the sonarAttachment 319525

Looks nice.
I went to thomalex and fished this morning caught about 6 but I knew it was going to be tough with the water that look like chocolate milk I mainly wanted to test that I pilot out and it works better than I ever dreamed it would I don't know why I have not got one of these sooner went back home my parts that came in for the sonar so I went ahead and put it on now I'm hooked back up to the boat again taking it back to tomalex and I'm going to play with the sonar a little bitQuote:
