Main motor will be no problem. For kicker, it depends on the alternator (or stator) output. Although running one downrigger shouldn't be a problem with either. For reference, I run 4 electric downriggers, vhf, fishhawk, and 3 fishfinders on the starting battery, which has 210 minutes of reserve capacity, while being charged with a Yamaha 9.9.

Thanks for the report. The lack of high fish is troubling....I've experienced that this winter and i hear others have also.

Peak to peak or RMS? And is that info published somewhere? Thanks! -
I have an 83 year old who is not mobile either. If you drop the boat down in partially and have it close to the dock it works well for them to climb in and out when the gunnel is level with the dock. Good luck!

I have to comment...... schools close around here when there is a half inch of snow, so that's not a good indicator. But on to your question.... FYI, its only 7 more miles to Taughannock and they typical push the snow off the launch into the water immediately, plus it has a bubbler. I was there there about 2 weeks ago and it is low water but passable. Good luck and please post a report!

Does anyone know the power output of an Elite FS?. The only current product from Lowrance that I can find a power output spec is the HDS Pro, which says "Up to 1 kW, depending on transducer". My old LMS series owners manual lists the power, but my FS does not. I looked at other brands and they list power output. Maybe i m looking in the wrong place? The reason I'm asking is so far my Elite has been a dissapointment for jigging on the finger lakes compared to the ancient LMS unit that it replaced.

You may have more difficulty tripping them from the boat.

I have one....check your PM -
Bunk Trailer is easier to load, as it doesn't tend to roll back after you have reached the bow stop. Also, no rollers to maintain. Buy one weight class bigger than you need for added durability.

Thats right! What grown men will do just to catch a fish!!!! -
Thank you!. I'm thinking that bubbler will be fighting a losing battle tonight.
-
Sounds like Cayuga will be difficult to access. Anyone have any ideas where one can launch?
-
Is the bubbler functioning? I was there last Thursday and it wasn't working. We did manage to make it out (thanks to the guys ahead of me that did the ice breaking!), but I'd assume without the bubbler the last few days it would be iced in. Thanks for any info.

Is that an old Remington 581??? -
Can a iPad clone the display from a Lowrance HDS gen 3 display?
RodBuster replied to chowder's topic in This Old Boat
Chowder, Just a heads up that the HDS 2 units would not allow a wifi connected device to do autopilot functions. I was told by Lowrance it would do "everything" , but it wouldn't do autopilot. They failed to mention that when I inquired. Just want to make sure you aren't disappointed as i was. -
Thanks TC, I'll give it a try.

Hey Hillbilly, Do you use them for dipseys? When set a little tight to keep the line from creeping out they really load up. Just not happy with them.
-
I have Penn Squall Line Counters for my dipsey rods and they tend to "load up" before the drag slips. I was thinking about the new Saltist as replacement, but i see now that Penn has a Squall II. Anyone have experience with the new Squall?
-
Thank you for the info...much appreciated
-
Can anyone provide info on the algae bloom? May go tomorrow if its cleared up. Thank you

I have the Alumacraft Navigator (predecessor to the Competitor) and my friend has the Impact. In my opinion they are equal. The Lund is no better. The Alumacraft Trophy is more in line with the Crestliner Superhawk than the Fishhawk though. I agree with your thinking that a 21 ft glass boat is not the best fit for your application. -
thanks for the info
