  1. fish finder quits you can always work off the gps and same goes with the gps if that quits work with the ff , combo unit quits all ya got is the sun :D super old time told me that and it made good sence too me anyways.infact my eagle gps just quit so that was the reason i called furuno , new gps time linked to my ff , hit mark bottem on FF and my New GPS stores it . and i see them lakers all the time on the bottem in deep water! sorry i don't know about the humming birds.

  2. there is two loc derbys going on one is the normal summer and the other one is per day , but there is also a third one going on that is nothing too do with the loc , its call payeverydayderby.com one big fish could net ya some good money in all three of them !

  4. I have a 3.7 and off the top of my head i think the therm opens at 140 or 160. If i knew what i was buying at the time i would never had bought a boat with that engine, but so be it. The way i understand it, merc mated the head of a big block ford onto there core. the problem is, everything is merc parts, making things 3 times expensive. if you look up engine rebuilds on line its about the most expensive u can have.Having a stater instead of a alternator makes things interesting also. there are interesting problems with the earlier models, iboats forum has also ben a big help with issues. The good side, (witch i bought it for) doesnt burn any gas trolling all day but can push my 20ft boat 50mph on the gps. good luck, i feel for ya :D

    when that $700 stator quits on ya put a single wire alternator on it for $75 bucks is what i did !

  5. first off you will need rods alittle stiffer than normal downrigger rods, 2nd i would recommend running wire or some sort of super line like power pro in the 60lb test works well , 3rd heavy duty snap swivel to conect too dipsy diver, 4th leader behind the dipsy should be around 6ft using a snobber can save on brake offs and help with hook ups, you can pic what you want too run behind them flasher flys , clean spoons all have there moment , also on the bottem of them there is ajustment too spread them out you can start with a 2 or 2.5 setting and run them at differant depths untill you get something that works , this should get ya started on alittle basic's . good luck and wide turns .
