That's not high at all IMO. I paid $125 for my 1000 CA starting battery.

I use the pull cord inflatables without ever even second guessing it. You bring up a very good point.

Good to hear, i was just getting ready to list my boat for sale.............LOL

What about a recessed trolling motor pedal tray? One of the best mods i ever put on a boat.

WOW, i didn't even know you were suppose to tip guides. I have never used one through an agency though.

I currently run all Interstate batteries in my bass boat and have been very pleased with them.

For me it was a Hummingbird 581i combo with internal antenna. I fish mostly shallow lakes so a high dollar unit was not necessary. The unit is very impressive at it's price point.

I change mine yearly along with the impeller. On my 150 EFI Merc you have to fill the new one with fuel before the install or prime the bulb up before you crank it. Otherwise it will shut down because it isn't getting enough fuel. That is on mine though.

Definitely replace them! No use putting all that $ into it and then shorting yourself with bad regulators. They can cause your battery and stator to go bad. Trust me, a stator is not cheap. When mine were bad the boat would only run WOT for a couple minutes and than shut down on its own. They lead to other problems if not corrected soon.

If you mean the adapter to install the transducer on the trolling motor than you need part # AD XTM 9. I just got mine and it fit perfectly. http://cgi.ebay.com/HUMMINBIRD-TROLLING-MOTOR-TRANSDUCER-ADAPTER-AD-XTM-9_W0QQitemZ230446212600QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item35a7aa25f8

Let's all go get that dam groundhog!

I just got mine for the bow as a replacement for a 100SX. It is IMO the best resolution and features for the $. I am very happy with mine.

I snapped a 704c because i pulled on the line that was already threaded through the guides. Learned never to test a rod this way again. TW replaced it right away though.

Amen bro. I fished that thing in a variety of places and under multiple conditions and a multitude of retrieves it's just a joke. : Me too, never caught a thing on them! I can't believe they cost the same as the Spro Shad, now that's a sweet lure!

Strike King King Shad, CRAP...............................i lost one on a snag and ended up throwing the other two overboard just to get rid of them!

Mine stays in the ignition 24/7. All my boats in the past have been the same way too. But i keep mine in the garage.

I am not worried too much about on plane performance since i rarely use sonar anyways. Once my transducer is on the bracket it allows me to rotate it freely to level it with the hull bottom. So that is all that the transom angle is needed for, bottom hull alignment of the transducer? THANKS

I got the 581i combo. My last unit had the transducer in the bilge but i did not like it. Instructions say find the transom angle and adjust the transducer mount knuckles according to the number in inches of the transom angle. I do not understand why this is necessary if the transducer is adjustable anyway you set it.

I got the HB 581i with internal GPS for $350 last week.

Hey all, I am having a hard time mounting my new HumminBird transducer on my 1996 Astro 1850 DCX. What's confusing me are the instructions in the installation manual. It wants you to use a plum line and find the angle of the transom. But how can i if the boat is on the trailer and the angle changes depending on how high the trailer is jacked up? It also says to mount at least 15" away from the propeller and i only have about 13". My boat like many Astros has limited room on either side of the motor and than it has those "wings" on each side. Can someone please help me with this? Where should i mount it and how do i get my transom angle? THANKS
