Chris, I assume that your display is up front with your TM. That means that you have a lot of excess transducer wire. Uncoil the wire and recoil it in a figure 8. Then, fold the two ends of the 8 together to make a 0. This will eliminate a lot of noise because it eliminates the "antenna" effect of the excess transducer wiring. If you have excess wiring in the stern unit, do the same.

I bought the arm shaped one shown in the first ad. It was very flimsy until I bolted an aluminum plate underneath the section nearest the seat pole.

Glenn, shhhhhh! I would prefer to remain under the radar.

I posted the following note in the Road Trip sticky: "OK, boys and girls, as of tomorrow morning, I'm off on a five day fishing trip to Louisiana. I will have no internet access and very spotty cell phone service; if any. If any of you need to need to make any changes to the attendee list, e.g. beds or boats, it will have to wait until I get back on Tuesday. Wish me luck!"

Well, I'm built like a pregnant pine tree, so why shouldn't I use a pine tree scent? When I want to be left alone I use JJ's magic. ;D

Child molesters. If it was up to me, every one of those creeps would serve ninety-nine years in the electric chair.

JJ's Magic. Gawd, that stuff stinks! The bass love it.

Great! Procraftwe and Bassinsoldier are now roomies. Now, at this point in time, Simp is the only one left standing, shivering, out in the cold, freezing rain. :'(

To Simp, BassinSoldier and ProCrafter. Have any of you three solved your roommate issue yet?

Jack, you are correct. Camels stink. But everything stinks in third-world countries. The more "third" you go, the worse it stinks.

Why are you yelling? Why don't you use a period after each sentence? Why don't you use a spelling checker?

If you want to charge the batteries while on the water, you are going to need a really, really, really long extension cord. ;D

Aw shucks Grouch. You went and ruined it. It's going to be very hard for Glenn to find another quality speaker on such short notice.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate." Cool Hand Luke.

At my ripe old age I can truthfully say that there are very few items left to do on my "Bucket List." (plagiarized from the movie of the same name) 1. Catch and land a double digit bass. 2. Tour more of our nation's great National Parks, e.g. Yosemite and Glacier. I have had the great good fortune of doing and seeing things that most men only dream of. I have snow-skied in Norway and water-skied in Singapore. I have ridden camels in Egypt and watched the Changing of the Guard in England. Most importantly, I have a wife that I still adore after thirty-nine years of marriage. Plus, I have watched our children grow, become responsible adults, and bless me with grandchildren. There's not much more that a man can ask for.

Very nice work, Gene.

ROFLAO!

Kelly, that was my first road trip. I didn't know anyone at all. That brown stuff on my nose happened when Muddy was so startled by a strike that he fell off the front deck onto my face. I'm still scrubbing my face at least five times a day, trying to get rid of that horrible smell.

I do! I have a turntable that I paid over $300 for back in the days of vinyl. I also have about a hundred albums. Alas, I am no longer an Audiophile. I prefer to go fishing. My loss. My gain.

Brian, no thanks necessary. I'm just sucking up to Glenn and the mods.

Greg, my apologies for butchering your screen name. These old eyes just ain't what they used to be.

OK folks we are now up to thirty-five confirmed attendees. Four of them are not yet registered. * and Senko77 appear to be real deadbeats, because after several weeks, they have NOT YET registered. Simp and BassinSoldier have newly signed up and Alpster is awaiting their registration form and money. Both Simp and BassinSoldier need roommates. Perhaps you two could room together? I suggest you PM each other to see if you could come to an agreement. Please PM me with the results. Update to the original post: Procrafter has just reminded me that he has a bed available in his room. He also will need a seat on a boat. There will be seventeen boats, having about twelve seats available for the non-boaters. There are about ten non-boaters who need seats. Looks like we will have no problems. For those of you towing boats. RS20dvx (Greg) and his wife Nikisfishingmom live only a few minutes from Kenlake and have very kindly offered electrical hook-ups if you need them. I've heard they (hook-ups) are few and far between at the Lodge. Send a PM to RS20dvx (damnedest screen-name I've ever seen) if you are interested. Thirty-six days and counting!

Burley, what's a text message? Never used it. Never will. Don't forget that I'm an Old Fart. I use a cell phone to talk to real, live people. That's why it's called a (tele)phone. If I want to send you a text message, I'll write you a friggin letter.

Be careful what you post on this thread. At least one of the Mods will not allow negative comments about Stevie Wonder, or any rebuttal. :
