pap I feel for ya, There isnt a store close to me but I was traveling once up to Buffalo so i stoped in the Cabelas there, no one could help me with gps/fish finders , the rods i wanted they didnt have in stock, nor the reels or tackle i wanted. I was amazed I walked out without spending a dam penny. Not to mention how pissed I was with the non talented sales people.

GPS/Chartplotter/fish finder
Need some guidance on this subject. I just picked up a 19ft new to me boat and looking to purchase electronics. My last boat had a garmin 541s and a 400c , was very happy with both but they are out of date. I use a Helix5 on my small boat for reservior fishing and it dosen;t impress me. Seems too complicated and hard to tell exact depth of fish. Not sure if i want to try to find used garmins like I had or go with new equipment. I would want a seperate fish finder so i can keep that screen on all the time. I want easy to operate and simple to understand. Lowrance, Garmin, or Hummingbird ? not sure wich way to go. looking for units in the 500 $ range. Seasons comming so I have to pull the trigger soon. Any input would be welcome, Thanks

BayRats
Last year all I heard about were BayRats , but were hard to get. This year I"m all set to drop some coin and I'm not seeing much chatter about them. Maybe it"s just a little early in the season yet. Hope so. I'm looking to target browns in either the Mexico or Sodus area. Any suggestions on color and size would be most helpfull.

I just bought a boat in Pa. and registered it in NY last week. All I needed was the registration from the previous owner , Pa has a transferable reg, no title. For tax purposes , I had the guy sign the NYS DMV form for sales tax , stating what he sold me the boat for and the signed DMV Boat registration form. and 20 min at dmv and out i walked with the new Registration. Now in NY the sales tax can be for boat and trailer, no longer need seperate forms.

GPS/FishFinder
Need some opinions sorting this out. On my last boat , I had a Garmin 400c Fishfinder and a Garmin 541s GPS Chartplotter. Setting up a new to me 18ft Smokercraft and was wondering if i should get the same electronics I'm used to or something newer and learn new technology. Alot of the new stuff seems very confusing and I want to keep it simple. I know the 541s does both but i want seperate units so i have the whole screen dedicated for one use, don't care for the split screen options, when you get older the bigger the picture helps alot.

also i would use 10lb seagaur leader , 30ft long
-
Personally I'd spool each with 10 colors so the colors match on both rods,as for walleyes I would use suffix performance 18LB test

Didn't know they had them.

I have plenty of chargers, i'll just set them at 2 amps and slow charge it back up at the end of the day. not looking for a long term fix just for a week or so for vacation this july.

Pap, Thanks for the in depth knowledge on the batteries. Now what should i purchase, the boat only has the big knob switch for batt on/off. So i'm guessing i need a batt selector modle switch instead of the current one, and is the yellow top a batt or a charging aid.This trolling under power is all new to me, I have been trolling the resies for 40 yrs , oar power only.But i do have an electrical background.

I'm putting an electric trolling motor on a 17ft boat. It's a Navigator 5200, that mounts on the cavitation plate of the outboard. Was wondering what size marine deep cycle batt should I buy, Someone told me a group 27 . Also I guess it would be a good idea to install a battery selector switch for 2 batteries, so the outboard could charge it and not drain down the boats batt. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the advice on the Lowrance. Does anyone have any input on any of Garmin's units.
