    I've had the system since the first version. The owner and I have had a lot of conversations about it's reliability in the past. This year I had the new system, and from April-September it ran flawless. That being said it's still not a totally "user friendly" system, and here's why. The probes can't be left on the charger. Once they are charged they have to be pulled off. I used to put them on charge when I was done with them and leave them on the charger all week long. This actually ended up draining them. What I do now is put them on charge when I get to the boat Friday night. Once they read charged I take them off the charger. The data you get from this system in very valuable and once you have it you wont want to fish without it.

    Rick - I upgraded to the new Smart Troll last year. I've also had it since it came out. Darryl has been great to work with. The probes use a standard charger. I bought mine on Amazon. I leave my probes in the charger all the time, including all winter. I have had no problems.

    I have a Baha 277 gle that has a 350 MPI  300 hp rated in it.   It’s under powered for the boat.  I was curious to get some opinions for repowering the boat.  It seems like the cost of repowering newer fuel injection boat is much greater than carb motors.  Is there any shops that any specialize in newer fuel injected motor packages?

    So I have the 6.2L MPI version in my 277 GLE. It's not that much more motor. I'm curios what kind of power/speed you are looking for? I run about 25mph at 4300 RPM in calm waters. I have no idea of top speed as I don't like revving much higher than that.

  3. I believe my problem was I was testing on my smaller boat on the hoist. I did not lower the boat into the water. However - I did not like the super-sonic speed with the new board. I was able to fix my old board. I have an extra of the new one if someone wants to make me an offer.

  4. Hey guys. I installed the 3394006 in my Mag 10HS and it is not working. The downrigger lowers really, really fast. But when I try to bring it up it comes up a couple inches really, really slow, and then stops. 

     

    Any ideas?

  5. BTW Walmart batteries suck. Cheap Chinese junk that doesn't last.
    Also, $5 core charge is a joke. Last time I took a used up battery to scrap yard, they gave me $12. Got rid of a bunch of brake rotors and other metal scrap in the same trip. Bought my battery on line from Advanced, got a discount for ordering on line and picked it up on the way to the scrap yard. Win Win Win
    $5 Core charge is not a joke if you are not turning in a battery, which was my point.
