    What was it you got such a great deal on, and how much did you save? I will be purchasing radar soon...

    Rolmops is right. If the lake freezes over the water level will typically rise or stay the same because evaporation is eliminated. Lake effect snow pulls enormous amounts of water from the Great Lakes.

    I haven't seen those, but I'm sure they are as cool as the fish coins. They kept showing up in the mail, LOL... Often times a rub on the Salmon or Brown Trout coin by me or a crew member will cause a rod to fire before I can get the coin back in my pocket:) The books are pretty good as well!

    I have those same NAFC books. You wouldn't happen to still have the brass coins that came with those books, would you?

    Now that's how you do it LOU! That is such a great way to make somebody's Christmas. Congrats and Merry Christmas to everyone!

    I forgot to mention...my buddy had to rivet his tracks because of no access to the bottom of the gunwales. This was how Traxstech recommended it be done, and it is solid.

    That's a sweet rig, Wallyandre!

    I have a buddy with the same boat with the pilot house with no bulkhead. It is set up very similarly with Lowrance HDS 9 and 7 at the helm, outboard pilot and speed control for the kicker. The kicker is tied to his 200hp honda outboard with the ez steer bracket. He has used his boat for one season now and loves it. He also just mounted the Xi trolling motor to the bow. It really is a great fishing platform that can handle any conditions we fish in here on Lake Michigan. My suggestion would be to nix the remote system for the AP and use the money to help fund the HDS at the stern. I can't stand being without mine back there, and I can control my AP from the display, so no need for the expensive remote.

    Haha! Just letting you know...that's a great unit, nonetheless.

    Just an FYI... You can buy a brand new Gen3 HDS 9 for just under 1100 bucks with no transducer.

    Too bad...I am interested but many miles away.
  15. Tyee II
    Okay, sounds like I would be able to connect both the p95 and the Totalscan to my HDS 9, just can't use them at the same time unless I have a carbon unit? With Carbon you can display both at the same time?

    After a bit more research, it looks like the P95C-M-BL would be the right ducer for my Grady, which has a 20 degree deadrise at the transom, and is solid fiberglass hull. Anyone with experience with this in-hull ducer connected to a gen 3 HDS? Is it the 7 pin, or 9 pin that I would connect to for CHIRP? Sorry Superhawk18, I have never heard of anyone using a thru-hull with a Fish Hawk. What transducer were you hoping to do this with?
  17. Tyee II
    Thank you Wallyandre for all your advice.

    The LCX came with my boat and is in really good shape. The P66 is a good ducer that reads bottom at speed, so I was trying to use it any way I can. I thought I may be able to keep the LCX with the 66 connected to it on the dash for cruising, then use the 2 HDS 9 units with the totalscan connected to the unit at the rail for fishing and searching for fish. All 3 units will be connected VIA ethernet and N2K. Now I am considering adding an epoxied thru hull in the bilge that will help maximize my CHIRP capabilities, and keeping the P66 on there for redundancy (which I believe to be a good thing with transducers) and because it has speed and temp. Is there a TM150 equivalent in a thru hull that isn't a drill-through?
  19. Tyee II
    Couldn't I also run the P66 in 50khz on my LCX to save interference? This is all new to me as I have always just intalled the ducer that came with my unit and ran. Now I am trying to figure out how to make 2 seperate ducers work together, while trying to merry an LCX with an HDS system, lol.

    My HDS 9 is gen 3. I was more curious as to how the chirp in the totalscan was inferior to that of the airmar 150.
  21. Tyee II
    In what way is the totalscan chirp inferior to that of the airmar 150? I would think mostly in durability, but that's just a guess. My boat came with a Lowrance Lcx113chd with an airmar 66 with speed and temp. I connected an HDS 9 to it VIA ethernet and N2K, and they seem to be working flawlessly together. The airmar is connected to the LCX and I am in the process of installing the totalscan to connect to the HDS unit. I will be installing another HDS at the back of the boat as well. I do find use for sidescan in shallow water at times, and downscan is nice to get a detailed view of wrecks or shallow water structure too. I've even used sidescan to catch fish under debris trapped in a slick. I'm thinking I will be happy with the airmar66/totalscan combo for what I do.

    Hey Andre, thanks for the video! It would be great if you did another for uploading to the unit...

    I have 2 of the EGO nets and I love them. I've had the larger rubber dipped net for several years now and it's my go to net for average sized fish, and I bought the smaller all rubber net 2 years ago for spring coho and real small fish. Only issue is the threaded adapter at the end of the pole can come loose and I lost a nice fish because of this so I put some thick thread lock on the pole threads as s fix.

    This is how I run my wire slide diver and have never had issues with the extra knots. It's a necessity with the slide diver, but I have been thinking about doing the same with my standard divers because I have never had to cut off wire because of a pigtail on my wire slide diver. It's a great idea, IMO. Heat shrink is a must on the wire knot or you risk abrading your flouro or mono.

    Just drop him a private message. I did and he got back to me promptly with pics of his Lowrance units and all his spoons through text...
