    Fishing and electronics. I love working on motors on my spare time as well, tuneups, rebuilds, etc.. Also work on Mudbuddy mud motors alot. I fish mostly out of a kayak as I love fishing marsh for redfish on topwater or flyrod. I fish many tournaments a year out of the kayak and currently have many sponsors.

  1. All depends what you are going to do with the boat. Garmin for plotter/sounder, Icom vhf, Shakepeare or Digital Antenna,
  2. What kind of experience do you have? NMEA knowledge, color codes, etc. What kind of warranty? There are many different things that lead to how much you charge. I just had to refit an entire package that someone had put their electronics in and pumps. They used wire nuts and electrical tape. Total mess. You get what you pay for sometimes.
  3. The 28th is the final day for all locations.
  4. How do you like the redraw speed now!!! It flies between ranges!!!!
  5. Yep, I kinda jumped the gun. Check the radar cable on the back of the head unit for corosion. Add some dielectric grease while there. If the problem still persists do the same on the dome. Inside the dome there is a black plug that is easily accessable and a black and a red wire. Make sure they are clean and plug back in with the grease as well. If its intermittant it could be just bad contact in the wires.
  6. First open the dome cover up and see if moisture is present. There is a belt that could be broken but hardly ever breaks. The RL70 is the head unit. What size dome do you have, 2 or 4kw?
  7. Sweet! Very nice boat as well.Congrats!! Now show some pictures with a deck of fish!!!
  8. I like that "Garminized"!!! It is a very good autopilot that is easy to use and holds up very well.
  9. I would go Furuno with both head units for sure. This way if one head unit crashes you can have a full system on one screen. The other way if you have Furuno/Garmin if the Furuno dies all you have is a Garmin gps. I would also get a second vhf and seperate antenna to be safe. Not only will you have a full Furuno networked system but it will look cleaner than having mismatched screens at the helm. Do not forget epirb! If you need some pricing on anything I will be happy to help.
  10. What kind of boat and what type of fishing are you looking to do? Budget?
  11. Yes I do! You still have ice there? haha Beautiful down here right now. I may hit the water Sunday, redfishing is too easy right now. Just got another yak (Phoenix 160) for tournaments this year.
  12. Thanks, appreciate the welcome guys! Great to see the forum up and running!!!
  13. Howdy from Cajun Country! How the hell are ya Wiley? Good to see this going!!! Hello everyone. Barrett
