    Another option to look at is the Furuno GP1871f 7" ($820.00 +/-) and the GP1971f 9"($1200.00 +/-) . Both are already setup for your thru hull transducer. The dual freq 50/200 kHz will give you good deep water trolling imaging and track the rigger balls. You can always add the side scanning transducer if you want to use it for skinny water fishing. The brochure will give you the highlights of the unit and the transducer chart will give you the unit/transducer compatibility. You'll be able to get rid of both of your existing units and replace them with one. The Furuno 585 is still a dam good unit and saleable to help reduce you overall replacement cost. https://www.furunousa.com/-/media/sites/furuno/document_library/documents/brochures/brochures/gp1x71f_brochure.pdf

    Just a thought. Something easy to overlook. Check the kill switch to be sure that it is in run position. Been there-done that

    I use spoon blanks from both of these guys. The Predator spoons have a little different shape (wide blade) and work pretty good on the fingers. Also they offer silver plated blanks if you are looking for silver plate. https://www.circlebtackle.com/category/trolling-spoons https://peerlesspredator.com

    I run the smaller screen version 620 Furuno in duel beam while trolling and it will display fish and bait. . I like to see what is under the boat as well as around it. The 50 Khz shows rigger balls down to 120' or so and I switch to straight 200Khz when at speed. The settings, freq and scroll speed are displayed across the top of the screen using the Furuno 525ST-PWD transducer.

    Was on Cayuga Tuesday. Didn't see any other trollers. a couple jiggers and perch guys. Fishing was good. Plenty of lake trout and rainbows.

    Use a pair of drift bags and loose the Happy Troller. Much better boat control.

    May not help but get the penetrating oil out of the plugs. Spray both plugs with carb cleaner or similar. Clean the corrosion best you can and see if that clears up the problem. If you feel you need to protect the connecting plug internals use dielectric grease.

    Ok thanks. To far for me to make an offer.

    Where is it located?

    I bought one of these six years ago and use it for everything. Boat engines, truck, mower or anything else that has to be drained. If you need an extra long hose just buy some tubing at Lowes/Home Depot. The 9.5 liter should do most any engine you'll have. Works great, Highly recommend. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LCEWR4A?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

    Cayuga Their BACK

    stinger replied to stinger's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion

    It was a good day. We fished the upper water columns, say 50' and up. Mostly rainbows. Did 12 for 20. All the fish boated were legal size.

    Those pesky little fleas are beginning their summer attachments. Although not too bad yesterday I'm sure they'll get worse after the hot spell we just went through. Surface temps were 69.8 yesterday (6/26/25). Time to put on your favorite flea line.

    No, not yet. Still working on it . 👴

    Better than new. Used three times and fish tested. Just to much net for my old hands to manage. My 20 year old mind thinks my 75+ body can manage the new and improved landing nets. Bought from Cabela’s two months ago @ $110.00. $80.00 cash. Pickup in Binghamton area. Will not ship. https://clamoutdoors.com/fortis-175-td-65-3-handle-blue-pvc?srsltid=AfmBOoqduIJnY70Q25d1lgYfM7iG04K8_iRcxC4jk_s6w_bMJ1NxNOag Folds down for storage and extends up to 65"

    I did a drive-by Sunday. Water level at the mud lock was 381.24. This is what the launch area looks like at that time. There seem to be two concrete slabs at the bottom of the ramp under the water yet. For the less nimble a ladder would be helpful to get in and out of the boat at the docks.

    You & your dad can only run six line so if you have any gear Rent a pontoon boat and run some junk lines. Running dipsey, lead core, copper, seth green) and inline planer boards will cover most of what you'll catch.

    Anybody been using the boat ramp at the park this week? Last I heard the water line was at the end of the concrete boat ramp and was wondering if the trailers were sinking in the mud at the end of ramp.
