  1. i havent heard much about this system,so i went to their web site and did some research,my main concern i found is that it states that you will have interference if your motor runs above 800 rpm's.so if you have a kicker pushing a bigger boat and the wind is blowing,you will be above 800 rpm's.i have used the fish hawk x-4 for two years now and have had no problems,im out almost every weekend and replaced the 4 aa batteries once all season.same price as the smart troll with one probe.looks like each probe with the smart troll costs around 125 bucks.i fished a few boats this past summer that used the moore sub-troll and they seemed to have problems with connector on the rigger making contact and had to put a wet rag around it to make contact,seemed like a problem to me.just my two cents.

  2. i was in gander mountain the other day and came to the oil isle and was looking at prices.mercury and yamaha oil was between 45 and 55 dollars for a gallon,they had a gallon of starbright oil,synthetic tcw-3,made for all brands of outboards for 28 bucks,i have always used name brand oils in all my sleds and boat motors,but if oil is oil,why spend the extra money???anyone use "aftermarket oil" in their motors?

  3. i had one of my side curtains replaced on mw 22 ft walkaround this summer at life time docks and canvas repairs in sandy pond.he told me there are 3 quality grades to choose from,the cheapest he dont even use cause its junk,the highest quality is very expensive,so i went with the mid-grade,cost me 180 bucks,which i thought was a good price,as this is a good size piece of plastic.thier number is 315-387-5481,also another quality guy is geordie magee in brewerton,little expensive,but quality work,315-676-7679.

  4. thanks yankee,funny you replied,i was on cannons web site and looked at there pro staff and saw your name,so i went to your web site and spent the next hour looking at your pics and reading your reports,you guys rock!!!i was looking at the 5's cause they are a little cheaper,but if you have to buy a humminbird finder and the cannon link,which i believe they dont make any more,im better off just buying the 10's.just a big chunk off change to lay out,but i like the features these riggers have.i assume if you are using them they are reliable,im not very confident with computerized stuff and hate to spend that kinda money and have problems,guess ill start looking for a few more snow plow accounts this winter!!!!thanks again

  5. i have used the x-4 for 2 years now and no problems at all.put new batteries in the beginning of the season and i use it almost every weekend.as far as inboards,i would either talk to someone at fish hawk about it or hopefully someone on here can give you some advise.thinking about going to the x-4d next year.

  6. we went 5 for 6 on friday,1 10 lb steely and 4 kings over 20lbs. south dune,sat. went 0 for 3 brother and father on the boat for thier first time,explained to them not to set the hook on the wire rods,but they were so amped up they couldnt help themseves,broke 2 off the dipseies and had one bite through the fly leader on a rigger.south dune.sunday went to same area and the screen was blank from 60 to 120,so ran down by the high rocks and never seen so many fish on the screen,but only managed 1.hey high hook,might just see a differnt boat behind you at the marina before the season is over!!!try to help me sell the one thats there,would like to get rid of her before winter

  7. my weekend wasnt as bad equipment wise,but fishing was tough.i dock in sandy pond also,when i get out of the marina and it  drops off,i put the the boat in reverse to knock the weeds off then i go.as far as fishing goes,i went 5 for 6 on friday,1 10 lb steely and 4 kings all over 20 lbs.GREEN DOTS!!!!! saturday went 0 for 3,had new people on the boat and i am pretty sure i told them before we started DO NOT SET THE HOOK ON THE WIRE RODS!!!broke off first 2 fish on them and then had one bite the fly off on a rigger rod.also had the e-z steer bracket brake.sunday was very tough,went to south dune where we were seeing and catching the 2 days before and nothing.trolled from 60 to 120 and back.being my last day of king fishing till next year i decided to burn some gas and run down to to the salmon river area.lots of boats and even more fish,i have never seen so many fish on the screen!!!but only managed 1.didnt see many people moving rods,so i didnt feel so bad.it was abeautiful day to be on the water though.good luck to everyone for the rest of the year,i had a great time this summer on the lake and already looking foward to next year!!!
