Land Locked? Not me anymore!!!!

Got the boat back today with Livescope mounted. They forgot to mount the Ultrex motor though. In my manly wisdom I said, well [censored] I will say a few hundred bucks and do it myself. It was not bad, but somewhere in the mix I tripped a breaker. Keep in mind, this is a new boat and I am out there with my meter, pulling fuses, finally fixed a whiskey and sprite (2:00 pm) and said @#%$. Went inside and ate lunch, then came back out and started checking again. No power to the motor. I got in positions that a 51 year old man should not get in trying to reach some of those wires. Somehow I noticed this little yellow switch and flipped it and presto, power! Took it to the lake, setup the Ultrex and messed with Livescope a little. Going to get a detailed lesson in the morning. But here are a few pics. Oh, while I was driving to put a little more time on the boat (Trying to reach that 20 hour mark) I saw something jumping. Stopped, pulled the trolling motor out and threw a jig and caught a small Bass. First fish I ever caught on Lake Tyler. Was a good day. Now I am going to take a muscle relaxer and go to bed to wake up early and jerk some crappie lips at Lake Palestine!!!!Attachment 346107Attachment 346108Attachment 346109Attachment 346110

Congrats on getting the boat back and rigged the way you wanted it. It looks awesome and I'm sure you will make the most of all of the new toys.
Good luck and thanks for sharing your progress with the rest of us.

Congrats on both the install and Livescope! It will be the future of fishing!

Looking forward to some pics and do not forget to set up Active Captain for some cool videos. BTW, Sprite has too much sugar (smile).

Haha. agreed. I tried setting activeCpt last night and was not having luck. I was ready to fish so I decided to wait. I will work on it today. It was not finding my unit so I am sure that I need to do a few more things in the setup.

yes I do, I have to look professional.:Rofl The boat came with the two hummingbirds, but they do not do down or side scan so I installed the Lowrance units from my old boat instead of selling them like I had originally intended. Then obviously the Livescope has its own graph. Went fishing yesterday with it and well the saying it true, all the tools in the world cannot make you catch fish if they do not want to bite. Working on a video right now as it was a horrible day but as I wake up now and think about it, it is a little funny. Well maybe not. :Rofl By the way, thank you for your service to this Great Nation!

You have to initiate the on board Wi Fi on the Garmin unit first in order for the Active Captain app on your phone to connect thereby allowing the Helm function to initiate videos.

I did that, but my phone could not find it. I did not play with it much, just one failed attempt then decided I wanted to go see it in action. I am sure that it is not hard, was just a bad day in several ways and I wanted to fish! :-) Will work on it today as I have nothing to do but cut the grass.

Don’t forget to look for the WiFi signal on your WiFi settings on your phone, as well.
