  1. Still got nada in my pm box.....as they say inthe Orient, "Sum ting wong?"
  2. He doesn't go to Canada. Would be happy to ship to Canada if you want the Fish-Finder.
  3. West Springfield, Assachusetts. Have a buddy who charters out of Mexico who could bring it up to you if you are interested and in that area.
  4. Unit and transducer are less than 2 years old. I got them thinking I was going to get more into trolling for trout than bass fishing. Didn't happen and I'm moving to a Humminbird HD SI unit more suited to my style of smallmouth fishing. This Furuno is a nice unit and the transducer has temp and speed. All original packaging, cables and manuals included. Asking $550 shipped or best reasonable offer.
  5. Fishing Report Forum Name: TOAD/ Boat: SPOONFED on the Little Salmon: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): 22,23,24 August Time on Water: Total of 15 hours Weather: Sunny and Warm /Temp: High 80's Wind Speed/Direction: Waves: 1-3 depending on the day Surface Temp: ? Location: Mexico Bay LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): ? =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: Total Boated: 31 Species Breakdown: Kings to 26 LBS, Trophy Cohos to 18lbs, One crossbed King/Coho? Hot Lure: Trolling Speed: Down Speed: Boat Depth: Lure Depth: ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== Me and my friends had one great trip aboard the Spoonfed with Capt Glenn Gervais of REEL ADVENTURE CHARTERS on the Little Salmon. The man put us on some good fish. We couldn't limit out on the third day because we could not fit any more fillets in the coolers. I'm guessing we came back to Assachusetts with close to 180 lbs of fillets. Definitely got our money's worth and I can only say good things about Captain Glenn. Here are some pictures...they speak for themeselves.
  6. Got a response back from Furuno yesterday. I have to admit their support and customer service is top of the line. Unfortunately the size of the box that shows speed and temp or other date cannot be down sized or moved. It is what it is. I think I will make mine smaller by just having it show the temperature. Yesterday my GPS speed was showing 18 MPH which is my top end with three guys in the boat. Paddle wheel on the transducer was reading 12.5. .....so I don't think I'll be using the speed reading on this wonderful unit. Still not getting fish arches as of yesterday.....just blobs. I can and feel the quality of this Furuno 620 and I know it is well put together and will last a long time. I however at this point cannot recommend this unit. My suggestion would be to bite the bullet and buy a higher end Furuno with better features, better resolution and ability to customize more. The resolution (pixel count) and features on this 620 is equivalent to a $200 lower end Humminbird or Lowrance.
  7. quote] I'll buy that crappy Furuno off you to help you out. Give you a good price too! Depreciation is about 50% for used electronics plus another 25% cause it ain't working right. When do you want me to pick it up? Glen Thanks Pal....and I bought it on your recommendation. Still can't figure out how to get the speed on temp to show on the basic screens without switching the entire display. The owners manual sucks. It tells you how to do things but doesn't tell you what those things will actually do for you. After the Memorial Day weekend when things calm down I be taking it out again and giving it another try....but I ain't happy with it at this point. I think I'd rather die from a flesh eating bacterium than sell to to at your discount.
  8. Prop is spoken for pending payment and delivery.
  9. Tested this prop on my boat. Didn't perform as well as the one I replaced or how I expected it to. Prop is brand new. Used it for around two hours on Monday. It will fit Mercy/Mariner 25 and 30 HP 4 stroke outboards 2006 and newer. Mercury QuickSilver Part number QA2192R.....made in the USA 9-3/4 inch diameter 9-1/2 pitch 3 blade right hand. These props go for $100 or more.....asking $75 plus shipping if required.
  10. Thanks for that screen shot stinger. Mine didn't look anything like that. I did want to play with it in my driveway before going out. The owners/installation manual for the transducer said to fire up the unit, turn the paddle wheel and make sure you could see the air temp readout to insure the transducer was working right. However the the owners/installation manual for the 620 itself said not to fire the unit up unless the transducer was in the water because you could ruin the transducer!
