OMC Cobra outdrive for 4.3 engine. Fits 1986 to 1993. I bought this for a spare, installed new prop shaft seal and new oil. I put it on my boat for a trial run and it shifted smoothly and ran quiet. However I have a V8 motor and the gear ratio isn't the same as a V6. There is no corrosion on the unit and the skeg is not broken. U joints are tight. $500.00

Just went to boat and enabled sonar chart. It now shows all contours. I only bought this unit for a chartplotter so I ignored the sonar settings. Thank you. I'm now am happy.

I did register it and download the updates. I have a Lowrance Elite 12ti. I thought I would try it in my Humminbird 856 but it doesn't work at all there. The Lowrance map that came with my unit doesn't have deep water contours either. My boat is currently stored in a metal building so the GPS probably doesn't connect. Could this be a cause of the problem?

I bought the Navionics Region+ east card. It doesn't give contour lines over 60 ft. It just has numbers. It's not as good as my 15 yr old Hot Maps card. What card should I have bought?

I just wasn't sure that the unit being under the hardtop would have good reception. Since I have it I'll install it. Thanks for the wiring info.

I ended up buying a lowarance Elite12 ti unit. Now I have to figure out how to wire the unit . I am going to connect it to my Simnet system via a micro c cable. Do I have to have a separate power supply to the head unit or does it get the power through the simnet sytem? I also am connecting a Point1 GPS antenna to my simnet buss to get more accurate GPS position. The point 1 has a heading compass but I already have a Simrad RC42N compass connected to the system for my autopilot. Will the system just ignore the data from the Point 1 heading compass or will there be a conflict having two heading compasses? Or should I use a GPS antenna without a heading sensor? Lowrance couldn't answer these questions and the installation manual isn't clear on this matter. Lowrance technical support reads from the same manual that I have and really don't know how to interface different systems so I have to go to the experts on this site.

Also Because of the armrests they might not swivel around like your existing seats. I have to be in forward gear to turn my seat and I have to swivel right pretty far to get reverse. But I can deal with that for a more comfortable ride.

I installed the Elite for a helm chair. It is much better than the stock Striper seat. It is wider so I could only replace the helm seat and not both seats or I couldn't get between them.

Its Simnet. Yes, its a AP24. I only need the NMEA2K info sent to the Simnet system. The Lowrance and Simrad units have a micro C port and will connect. Now the only decision is , will a new unit and card give me a contour view on the west end of the lake and offer the same ease of operation as my old Globalmap in marking waypoints and displaying SOG and course. My Globalmap apparently is not compatable with the newer cards.

After reading more about the Elite units, I don't believe they will interface with my autopilot. Simrad is probably the best unit. Thanks mr 580.

The Simrad Go series is compatible but it looks more complicated to quickly mark a waypoint when you hook a fish. I was at the Outdoor show in Harrisburg and there was a rep and display there from Simrad and Lowrance. The Lowrance has a waypoint button where as it seems with the Simrad you have to go through a menu to mark the waypoint. I'm not sure how the Garmin works on waypoints. What is your opinion on the waypoints?

It's time to upgrade my chartplotter. I am deciding between Garmin 1022 and Lowrance Elite 12ti. The Garmin costs 30% less but I'm not sure if I can connect it to my Simnet system for my autopilot. Can anyone tell me if there is an adapter cable available or if the Garmin has a Micro C data port. Or which unit is the better unit. I now have a 13 yr old Lowrance Globalmap which still works but the map card does not cover the western part of the lake and its too old to use a upgraded card.

Most states have the same problem as NY. The metro areas control the election because they need the tax revenue from the rural areas of the state. Here in PA most of the state is red except for the cities. Will it ever change? Never. Living in a rural area you will always be a second class citizen. The presidential election in 2016 was a fluke in that a republican won in PA. I don't think that will ever happen again.

Braid line didn't suit my purpose. But it wouldn't break like mono if reeling in fast and not setting the drag light enough. I never used it so i can't say if mono would work.

I have a never used Tanacom 750 electric reel. It is 12 volt DC. I bought it because my son injured his shoulder but he decided to just not reel in any fish last year. Now I no longer need it. It cost me $399.00 but I will sell it for $300.00 plus shipping. I had to change it from best offer at the request of another member. High Bidder

I installed a Tempress Elite helm seat in my Striper. I could only install one seat because of the width. You have to be sure it doesn't interfere with the shifter. I have to rotate slightly left to get reverse. I had to keep the narrow original copilot seat. It was a great improvement over the stock seat.

At the Oak last weekend if you were trolling west(into the waves) you really had to give it speed. Trolling east we could barely get down to 2.6 MPH without bags. Your Fish Hawk was probably right. There was a lot of debris in the water but it only affected my Fish Hawk once and I had to pull it and clean the wheel.
