I would guess the ground wire from the sending unit should be grounded to the ground on your gauge.Here is a link with good info .https://www.sailmagazine.com/diy/test-replace-fuel-gauge-sending-unit
I have 2 Cannon tracks and 1 Traxstech track mounted on my boat.The Trackstech track is way more heavy duty.I have had Berts ratcheting rod holders for a few years and have been happy with them.They pull right up no need to trip any levers or anything.Cannon and Cisco rod holders are heavier duty.I have Big Jon Multi sets on my riggers and personally I am not crazy about them.
If I was going to just use it for Walleye.I would use Suffix in a lower # test Thinner dives deeper can use smaller reel.I have some just haven't used up my 27ilb yet.https://www.fishusa.com/product/Sufix-832-Lead-Core-Line
I have always used this it's all ready to spool and easy. Always used 27lb. 10 color on Erie.But can also use it Ontario for Trout and Salmon. https://www.fishusa.com/product/Mason-Redicore-Trolling-Line
If you plan on putting a Electric trolling motor in. While you have the floor out it is a great time to build battery compartments and run your wiring under the floor.If you plan on putting one on.If you plan on doing a live well in the future you may also want to run your drain fill line.I had to replace mine because it was cracked when I bought my boat.Fishing the new hose in around the fuel tank with the floor in was not fun.Make sure to check all of your wiring especially to your fuel tank clean the contacts check your hoses and clamps.
I have a 1990 195GLS I live next to Silver Lake. If you ever make it down this way you are more than welcome to check it out. I fish Erie often we could meet up that way also. I can get some bow pictures in a day or two.
I found the exact opposite fishing mid Lake Thursday.I only found Crappie. Only caught one 9in. Perch.Marked fish and caught fish in almost every hole.Depth really didn't seem to matter 20 to 30 ft.I would catch 2 or 3 fish in a hole then I wouldn't mark anymore.Drill another hole and repeat.I stayed about an hour after dark and only marked 1 fish.
One of the coolest things I have seen this season.One day last week I had a Peregrine Falcon Land about 20 ft. from me in a tree.I believe I have seen a few others in the past but not up close and personal.What a beautiful bird.Bright yellow talons and a very unique call.It was very cool.
Went to the same spot where I missed the big bruiser. Bad news is he didn't show up.Good news is his Grand son did.Yesterday I got Buck Fever today the buck got the fever.Perfect heart shot.All you have to do is look for the signs.(yellow game crossing sign in the background)
