  1. I bought new graph with side view and down image it’s the Garmin 7vs. Had intentions of putting it on the bow. But have heard the side scan doesn’t work well unless boat is moving. Would it be more beneficial to put it on the console and take the down image that’s on the console and move it to the bow.
  2. Stick with the ugly stick from 97. Two peice can't beat it! But for real, I would buy the falcon buccu. I think lews rods are about as sensitive as a baseball bat!
  3. High school tournament this weekend. I would say two kids fishing and possible a "coach".
  4. Is this a 688. I can not find the 788 model on the hummingbird website.
  5. I had the same issue with mine a couple weeks ago. It ended up being the 2 dollar rubber boot on the pedal switch easy fix
  6. The unit on the boat now is a used one. I got it from a guy I work with that was parting a blown motor out. He charged 400 for the unit vs 1500 to have a new gearset put in the old one. The boat seems to shift the same with this unit in as it did with the last one. The motor idles just above a grand.
  7. I have a 1993 200 horse merc. I just went through putting a new lower unit on it. Had 3 teeth missing off the forward gear. Did not hit anything to cause this damage. I have noticed when shifting into gear it makes a loud thunk. I am wondering if that could have made the old one go out. If so what would cause this to be shifting hard and what do I need to do to fix it.
  8. I am planning to come down tomorrow morning don't get to fish table rock much. Was thinking about fishing the James river arm will probably put in at cape fair. Any tips hints or suggestions would be much appreciated
  9. If you are headed to the lake through morrisville on 215 the road is closed.
  10. I just bought the Garmin 300c this past sunday.I have only got to use it once so far.I like the unit it was easy to install a decent price and has very good graphics, and has a pretty good owners manuael that will get you fishing quick.The arches this graph shows are very clear and brush piles are also easily seen. But like i said have only used it once and I am pretty sure it will be even better when i learn how to actually use all the options. Hope this helps
  11. Hey guys I am looking into buying a new fish finder with a Gps system. I have my eye on a 597 Ci Hd Di hummingbird fish finder combo.From what I Have read this is a very good unit.The reviews i have read have been excellent compared to those i have read about the Lowrance system of the same type/price. So i was hoping some of you may have the same unit and could give me some input on it good or bad.Would also like to know what the main differnce between side imaging and down imaging graphs. Thanks and for any input.
  12. I have a 1989 bass tracker with a 96 40 horse mercury.I have decided to sell the boat instead of trade.The bass tracker is 16ft long semi v with hydraulic steering working live well, trolling motor, and 1 fish finder I replaced the floors and carpet 3 years ago when i bought it and it has been garage kept since.It has a 70lb thrust all terrain minn kota trolling motor.would like 2800 but bring all offers. not sure what it should be priced at
