Cheapest unit right now would be an HDS-7 Gen3. Gen2 are hard to find. Basic Gen3 are around $700 US I think.

You need to have the right Lowrance GPS unit to make the system work.

There are a few posts about it and they are positive .

Worked for me. West marine has both systems. Hydraulic for around $1000 and cable for around $1299

Unit I got was the last one. I don’t imagine they will be getting any more when they have to drop the price to get rid of it.

No. It was on a clearance shelf.
Original price was on it. $2999 Canadian.

I don’t know if they have tilts. I just happened to find the steer system one day while I was killing time.

Lowrance cable steer pack.

Picked up a cable steer unit at Cabala's in Ottawa for $499.

Smoking deal.

Just have to figure out which HDS-7 unit I want to buy now.

Looking at the Lowrance Elite 9ti does anyone know if these are compatible?

I have a line on a new one for $500 Canadian. Looks like $1300 US typically .

I am looking at adding this unit to my Mako 21'CC.

There is a new in box unit at a great deal here.

I don't have an HDS unit but was looking to upgrade my present Graph/GPS to a Hook2/7 but am considering an HDS-7 Gen 3 and the cable steer system.

I would like to hear from anyone who uses this setup as well.

Thanks.

Got a couple of trips to Port Charlotte Fla. first to get in and pick up my salt water tackle.

Looking forward to that at the end of the month.

Thanks very much.

Thanks. I’ll look into it. I am going to call a couple of the local tackle shops to get a little info from their perspective.

Thanks for the info. I was looking at state parks but they all seem to have a no alcohol rule.
We are not big drinkers but a couple of pints at the end of the day around a fire pit usually is a nice thing.

Planning a trip to Cape Cod next year. We have a 21’ Mako CC we plan on taking. We would like to stay in a campsite that has water access but I haven’t been able to find any yet. We have a slide in camper to stay in. We were hoping to stay around the Sandwich area and drop the camper off of the truck to explore.

If anyone has any information on camping and or the fishing including time of year I would be very appreciative.

Thanks .

Mitch.

Have 2 of these riggers as well. Lost the led on one couple years ago. Put a counter on it. Box still runs. 

Looked for the control unit . Very tough to find. 

They do come up on eBay occasionally . 

Good luck.

Good morning folks.

Have a question about bleeding the trim and tilt piston on my outboard.

Tilt piston was leaking so  I got all the new seals and O-rings took it apart and rebuilt it. Put oil in the reservoir and started cycling it.  Trim works but tilt not so much.

The reservoir won't take any more oil.

Can't lift motor past full trim.

What is my next step.

Thanks for any help.

Mitch.

I’ll take it. I need a few minutes to get back to you again. The LC

Good morning everybody.

I'm looking for a little insight on what to expect weather wise this weekend. I see rain on Saturday and some wind.

Have fished there quite a few times. We will be running a 21' Mako CC. With the wind forecast, what should I be expecting for wave heights.

Will be staying at Wescott Beach state park. Am I better off driving into Henderson to launch or is it close enough to just run out of the park.

Was planning on fishing the finger but shipping lanes are possible depending on waves.

Thanks for any information anyone would like to share.

Mitch.

Blue Mako CC.

Red Bimini.

White F-250 King Ranch.

If you already have  hydraulic brakes, check out kodiak brakes electric over hydraulic system. 

I have hydraulic discs on my Ace custom aluminum trailer. They are the best. Found on high end horse and travel trailers. I don't know if they will work with drum brakes but gives you another option. We have a 201 Mako CC that we pull from Ottawa to Port Charlotte Florida.

we have about 17,000 miles on this trailer and I still love it. 

The activator is about $700 but if it will work with your drums that may be all you need.

Our tow vehicle is a 2008 F-250 King Ranch and the Mako comes in around 5000lbs I think. This combination tows amazingly well. 

Good luck.

Mitch.

Thanks.
