Trying again

Not sure if this short video will load. This is my PS 30 mounted on an old transom mount Minn Kota shaft. Using it this way I can turn the transducer to look more forward or aft, the turn the shaft and look side to side. In this video it's looking for ward and aft. The top center is my boat, and the picture is moving right to left. You can see as I approach the fish, they dive deeper, then rise up again after I pass.

Motor is sold

This motor is still for sale. Deal fell thru, buyer didn't want to travel

Tentatively working out details on a deal now with a board member/ 

long shaft

Mercury Pro Kicker manufacturer date 2018, sold new in 2019. Last used in 2021. This is a very nice Pro Kicker that was the main motor on a Lund Alaskan used on restricted HP lakes. The boat also had a 112# thrust MinnKota bowmount. I bought the boat and put a 60HP tiller motor on it, and with the bow mount I have no need for a kicker. It comes with the remote controls, power trim and tilt, and a 4 blade prop. It's located in Chester cty PA. Selling price is $2200.

I have an old Minn Kota transom mount electric motor. I have taken the motor itself off, and will mount the PS 30 on the end of the shaft. With mounted this way, I'll be able to rotate the transducer and still which way I like it best. Then buy the PS 31 mount if needed.

Anybody using Panoptix for trolling, specifically the PS 30 unit?  Here's a couple interesting videos.

FWIW, Garmin and Lowrance are now one company, according to the email I got today.

Are you sure you don't mean Garmin and Navionics?

Get a dehumidifier and tent over the hull except the exhaust. It should dry out.

Ha! Just bought the same thing in a crate yesterday for $1500. It was a 3 hr round trip, Buffalo with be 12 hrs. Guess the extra $200 was worth it. Looking forward to getting it installed.

I don't think the 150's were problematic, but you are buying a 21 y/o outboard. It's a crap shoot whether it's a cheap fix or ready to fail completely.

A few nights after I got the big walleye in my post, I hooked up again. I thought, "Oh boy, another one". What a fighter! Yup, a big sheepshead. Sure was exciting though.

Sounds more like the factory is at fault, if the dealer couldn't get parts. Were you done fishing for the year when you dropped it off 2 weeks ago? Of were you looking for a quick repair so you could fish the fall?

I got this 29 inch, 9.4 pound walleye Sept 11th around 8PM near the 40 acre shoal. Was trolling a worm harness and a 3 oz bottom bouncer in 30 fw. t

Thanks!

I'll be fishing the Canadian side starting Friday. How deep are you finding them? 

Erie in North East sure wasn't smooth like that last weekend! 

I run Sea Foam in everything also.

TTT - hard water weather is just around the corner

Wash your mouth out with soap!!

I've used Eagle Feet on 2 16 footers. Never had a problem. Keep in mind you need to set the "drag" on the riggers so they with pay out line if you snag.

As I'm retired, thinking about arriving on a Sunday and fish during the weekdays. Shooting for the 29th of the month. Weather will be the key factor. I'll bring my riggers for sure. The wife and i will be camping out of my slide in camper. Just put A/C in it. We normally don't camp in the summer, just spring and fall.
