Waterlogged

I just purchased an HB 859 for my bow and the sales person made a point to explain how the ram mount also works as a shock absorber for the unit. Made a lot of sense to me.

I've got the same unit at my console and it's a great unit and super easy to use. I love mine!

I use the SanDisk 10 SDHC in mine. If I remember correctly I had to go in the settings and turn on snapshot after I installed the SD card.

I just purchased my fist rig this past fall and I refused to use a seat of any sort on the bow so I could establish a decent pair of "sea legs". My wife had a pretty big time watching me stumble all over the front deck on the first few outings.

I live in Bowling Green, Ky and Barren River Lake is about 30 minutes from a really nice 4 Lane ramp they built a few years back. I believe the lake is a little over 10,000 acres. Nolin River Lake is about the same distance as well. Good luck and safe travels.

Looking forward to install pics

Gotta love Booyah spinnerbaits and buzz baits!

Nice rig man! Congrats!

I make a living working with water and I spend my spare time around water. I figured waterlogged would be appropriate

Nice rig!

A Class III waste water treatment plant operator. A large portion of my job is to monitor/protect the down stream waters of which we discharge our treated water. This gives me the opportunity to spend time learning how sport/bait fish will act with different levels of D.O., pH, temperature, etc. Fortunately my life is biased around water!

I just purchased this same unit and installed it on a Tracker 175 TXW. I've had it on the water once. The unit seems to work excellent. My original installation of the transducer proved to be a little low so I raised it slightly but haven't had it back out yet. One neat thing about this unit is if you put a SD card in it, it will take a screen shot anytime you set a waypoint.

A little off topic but when considering a purchase such great expense. I agree with everyone about going with the Ranger. I own a Tracker TXW myself and I am 100% satisfied but when I was in the market I wanted the comparable Ranger aluminum. Anyway, my recommendation is to REALLY consider getting the 75hp Optimax. There are advantages of having a 4 cycle outboard but most people that I've talked to with the 60hp complain about how sluggish they are when trying to get up on plane. Mine has the 75 and is very peppy when coming out of the hole. A little food for thought!

I am looking at a Talon myself to go on my tracker but I was a little skeptical about the direct transom mount. Does it seem sturdy? You satisfied with it?
