Maybe they will have a few details worked out by the time I get one. I'm just trying to get a stupid Jon boat console! I honestly could have ordered a whole boat and had it built in less time than it has taken me to get a stupid console. Mitch f 1
pstone Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Bobby and others, thanks for the updates. I ordered the Garmin 106SV ultra units for bow and console; panoptics livescope and the Force trolling motor. All are in except for the Force. My guy who ordered and doing the installation called me today and said Garmin informed him there will be a delay in shipment to the end of July. They have discovered an issue with the "key" or fitting connected to the compass in the head of the unit. If the motor has impact with something, it could cause the key to pop out of place and affect the anchor lock ability to control the motor. They said it is a very small percentage of cases they know about and don't plan on a recall, but will offer full refunds, etc. if you have this occur. They are putting in a more robust bracket for the key apparently. This has happened only when the TM is in Anchor lock. Just wanted to share that with you all. Bummer that my set-up is delayed now, but glad they discovered the issue. Hughesy and bobby b. 2

I'm no Garmin tech but I've done a number of them for some guides, Stacey King, James Watson and Mike Roller at RM industries. I live about two blocks from the Aunts Creek ramp. So next time you put in there, give me a shout and I'll run down and show ya what I know. Takes about 10 minutes. I might need a little set up help as well???? I won't be down for at least a month though...
moguy1973 Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Can I get a few seeds from one of the money trees you guys have so I can get some of this cool tech for my boat?!? magicwormman, Jerry Rapp and Old dog 417 3 -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson
