I have the elite 7. I know there has been allot of talk about this unit and some of it not so good. But I love it, it was a huge step up for me from my ol aedile ultra 2 plus. I got the navionics premium charts and it is sweet
ok I won't get back this year anyways but was curious as when I was there a few weeks ago it was slow I never hooked up with a king the three days I fished. Only got one small steely
I was in the same situiation as you two years ago. Luckily a friend of ours gave me his Mag 10A's for free however when he sold the boat the female plugs went with it..so, I looked around and checked out fish307.com who has allot of legacy Canon parts. no dice so I ordered the new conversion plugs. I must say that it was well worth the $$. the new plugs are far heavier duty and have caps that seal the terminations...I highly recommend them.
I do not have a fh yet bit planning on one for my next major purchase for next year. Reading these posts makes me believe that I also need to invest in some heavier dr weights as right now I am running 8 and 10 lb weights! Talk about blowback!
We have one on my dad's boat. It's great for fishing shallower lakes to say 60 feet. But I don't know how much fun it's gonna be cranking them up and down 100 plus feet on lake o? U will have strong arms though
