I did. It’s super outdated and there’s not a ton close to me. Lock 3 tackle which is the closest has been out of business for like 3 + years now. Called another place twice and no one called me back. I guess no one needs work these days lol.

@Susky River Rat it’s usually when we go to Lebanon or Hershey, so I think that would be near Harrisburg.

That’s an awesome setup. I get jealous every time I cross the Susquehanna. I’ve never fished it to date, but it’s on my bucket list for sure.

They are what I use and I rarely bring back a twisted mess after fighting a fish. It happens on occasion but very rare for me. I use the VMC spin shot #2 hook most often.

Good point and noted I will let the service team know they are approved to purchase whatever supplies are needed. Agreed. I definitely want to make sure they have enough time to do it correctly. I’m a little concerned that they tell me they are down to 1 technician at BPS as well. Overall I am pretty satisfied with the service I have received there previously, so I will probably go there if my other reputable lead does not call me back.

@A-Jay Thanks! I’m kind of bummed because BPS can’t do the install until end of July and I’ll be at Chautauqua Lake for 4 days in mid July. That lake is dock fishing 101, so they would have been awesome to have. I’m checking with another place to see if they can do the install if I buy all the parts myself. I’ll be sure to post some new install pics!

I’m planning on getting power poles in the next few weeks. Bass pro is charging 12 hours of labor ($1,908) to install dual power pole blades (one pump). I do not have a jack plate so they need to install the side plate adapters and the dual braced kit. I will also have them install hydrilla gear tilt brackets. Does this seem reasonable? I understand inflation and the install is a little more complicated because I do not have a jack plate, but just want to make sure I’m not getting overcharged. Thanks for any info you can provide.

That remote looks like the advanced gps remotes so it may havr the link features. There should be an Ethernet cable that goes from your trolling motor to your fish finder. If it has that, it will give you the link features. The white puck is the directional sensor. It is not a GPS. The puck shows your helix where your bow is pointing. Your helix has built in GPS. Your trolling motor has GPS as well. It’s a lot, but you will get it. I just found out this year that bass pro never wired in my puck, so that goes to show you how often I use some of these features lol.

If I were you I would watch a video on it. I have an ultrex ipilot link and I really don’t use the features often, so I don’t want to speak for what you may or may not want/need and I’m not familiar with the terrova. I’m not sure if terrova still has a link model. Ultrex discontinued the ipilot link but they retained the same features in their new advanced GPS units. You might want to verify first that it does not have those “link” features.

How you use them depends on how you fish and how many fish finders you have. Your terrova has MDI- mega down imaging. Your transducer at the back of the boat has MDI and MSI. If you only have one fish finder at the console, then you will likely only use the transducer at the transom. If you have two humminbird fishfinders, you generally use the built-in 2d and DI at the bow fishfinder and then use the transducer at the back for sonar at the console. If you troll, you could use the 2d and DI on the trolling motor at the console.

Exactly. Mercury will send you a letter every 6 months or so asking to upgrade to platinum. I never did, but it’s not super expensive. I just don’t believe in most warranty’s.

Looks like you both had an awesome time and quite a few fish caught as well. Hopefully you guys can get back out there soon.

That’s awesome! Congrats! let us know how you like it once you get some time with it.

The best ones that I’ve found at the 6th sense ones. I think they are called peg x. Something like that. But after hearing all this chatter about a lifetime supply, you might want to try that route first. I only went with the peg x because they hold a 3/8 and lower bullet weight without much slippage.

@ATA did you buy the boat then? I might have missed some portions of this thread or another.
