    Well, I got the estimate for the damage. $19,250!! It's more than the boat was valued at so it's a total. I figure I'll use it for a while as is until I figure out what to do next. It's not pretty but it floats and hopefully still catches fish.

    Im looking for a place in the Rochester area that can give an estimate on boat damage for an insurance claim? Mostly canvass and gelcoat damage from a fire but There’s also a few other melted parts that need replacing.

    I will definitely contact John about the canvas. I’m more concerned with the bubbled gel coat and all the melted parts that need replacing. (Port hole window, rub rail etc.Any good all around boat repair places? Is Great Lakes boat repair still in business?

    That’s a great question. I hope so.

    Where’s the best place near Rochester ny to get a boat with fire damage repaired? The boat in the slip next to mine caught fire. My gel coat is blistered pretty bad, windshield gasket is melted, rub rail is melted, cabin window is completely melted, canvass(John Mann did the original)and a few other things that might add up. The insurance company hasn’t estimated it yet. Of course the other guy has no insurance. Just trying to get a Juno on it. Probably won’t be able to get anything done this year with everyone so busy.

    It sounds just like mine. I changed the update tone from 1 sec to 5 sec and it seemed to help. That might have given it a better average speed. Not sure. I’ll keep an eye on it next time out.

    Thanks for the reply. Yea, it might be the unit then. It’s on the dash with no obstructions. It definitely fluctuates to much. I’ll have to a little more research on it.

    I didn’t know if the internal antenna would be a factor in the fluctuation. I have a couple of older Garmin units that use an external antenna that have very little fluctuation and read 0.0 mph when tied to the dock. I don’t like using the Fish Hawk when I’m trolling in 10 to 15 feet of water over rocky bottom.

    I have a Humminbird 597 ci hd that I’m using just for the GPS so I have the sonar turned off. When I’m trolling the gps speed fluctuates up to 1.5 mph. Even when tied up to the dock it will read .2 to .5 mph steadily. I’m wondering if anyone else has run into this problem that might have some insight on a fix. Thanks Rick

    I’m installing a Humminbird 587ci HD. What would be the proper inline fuse for a unit this size? Thanks.

    Thanks. I agree about the DI feature. Wish I had known better at the time. I never even use it.

    I believe it is the 200khz.

    It’s the XNT 9 DI T Transom mount.

    What would be a good starting point for chart speed and sensitivity settings on the Helix 7. Would it change drastically for depth of water even if you were only looking at the top 125 feet of water?

    What is the preferred mapping chart card for a Humminbird GPS? Where is the best place to purchase one?

  22. Bad Habit

    This time of year parking isn't usually an issue at Mayers.

    Looking for recommendations for a stand alone mapping GPS. I have a Humminbird Helix7 fishfinder( no GPS). I have an old Garmin That takes a g-chart that is on its way out and need to replace it.

    How often should plugs be changed? Boat is used mainly for fishing so it’s at trolling speed 90% if the time. It’s a 1987 350 Chevy mercruiser with a little over 5000 hours. It still runs fine but the plugs have not been touched in a few years. Is it a “ if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” thing?
