  1. You're already in a niche section of large spool, hi-speed, freshwater, trolling reels and then and even more niche spot of LH retrieve... I'd bet you're going to need to look into saltwater reels to find what you want.
  2. I for sure got skipped... I sent a PM within the first 10 mins of this ad being posted, a 2nd PM the next day and now 4 days later still no response to either PM. I understand you prolly got overwhelmed with PMs and responses... but you skipped possibly the first person to PM you? LOL not a great start
  3. Interested in tekotas and planers, I sent a PM when you first posted this ad earlier today.
  4. There really isn't a way to wire the transducer wrong honestly, you can mount it wrong which will give you problems displaying correctly. But the plug is only going to fit into one spot on the back of the unit, If you give some more info on your problem we can probably get straightened out.
  5. Mixed flasher lot, what you see is what you get $60 + shipping
  6. Maybe I'm over thinking it but "rear of the motor" could be slightly ambiguous depending on how you're looking at the motors. But there are options for connecting it from either side. You just need to measure to make sure you get a kit with the right size rod for the space in between the motors. EZ Steer or Panther Aux bracket http://www.westernmarine.com/acrobat/ezsteer product.pdf https://www.walmart.com/ip/Panther-Marine-55-2600-Auxiliary-Motor-Steering-Kit-Stainless-Steel/33707635
  7. The Mag 10A motor is completely discontinued and very hard to find. Also I believe the 10As are only rated for a max of 10lb weights. I used to run 12lbs on my old Mag 10s and they handled it ok, but I don't think I would risk ruining a motor running 15lbss. Especially with how difficult it is to find replacement motors for the 10A.
  8. I have the older TR1 Gold system so I can't comment on the new Reactor system. The throttle control was available for the TR1 but it was optional and I already had the remote throttle setup on my kicker so I chose not to get the one from Garmin. I have read that the ones from aftermarket companies like iTroll, Trollmaster and Controllking were better options than what was offered by Garmin, for the TR1 system atleast.
  9. You should look into a dedicated kicker auto-pilot unit like the Garmin Reactor 40. I have the older TR-1 Gold version on my kicker and it was a game changer for me. If you could see the movements the AP unit has to do to hold course in any kind of chop you wouldn't even consider a remote steering unit imo.
  10. sharks are pending at the moment.
  11. Pending on the sharks right now.
  12. I forgot to take pics of the rods but here is a link to them and the model # is BD-C-802Ma https://www.fishusa.com/Okuma-Blue-Diamond-Trolling-Rods-a-Series
  13. We were up there from Thurs-Mon, best fishing was out in front of Wilson for us. 180-240 fow, down 40-75ft. LOTS of small fish around, we stopped running spoons on boards by the 2nd day. Just a pain to keep reeling in the 10 color and 300 copper with 12" shakers on them. The big fish all came on meat or FF down deeper (65-75ft), biggest of the weekend was just shy of 20lbs with several in the mid-teens.
  14. No shipping on the rods or sharks. Pickup in Rome, NY or Mexico, NY on the weekends. Will split shipping costs with buyer on any other items. 2 - brand new never used 15lb shark down rigger weights painted black - $150 SOLD 2- used 8ft M Okuma blue diamond downriggers rods $75 SOLD 1- track mounted tool holder $20 SOLD 10- mixed flashers most used a couple new $60 1- Hook lot (25) 4/0 Gamakatsu Octopus hooks (12) size 2 2x strong EWG treble hooks $20 1- USB charging cable for Minnkota ipilot Link remote SOLD
  15. You wouldn't connect them, the features you get by connecting them are brand specific. If you had a garmin sonar and minnkota TM you would just use the ipilot remote or foot pedal to control everything. The ipilot LINK version which allows the TM to connect to the sonar will only work with Humminbird sonar unit.
  16. How far back can you run stuff and still be able to see it on the camera?
  17. It will likely be a tight fit with 300' of WS on a 47 sealine, I had 300' of WS on a 45 size Okuma reel and ended up buying a 55 size okuma for that setup instead. As I wasn't comfortable with the amount of backing I had room for on the 45 size reel (don't forget you need a good amount of heavy leader on the front of the setup as well). I think the Daiwa 47s are slightly bigger than an Okuma 45 but I would say rule of thumb once you get to 300'+ your looking at a 55 size or similar reel. 10 colors of lead would be the most I would run on a 45 class reel. You could consider going with 30lb braid for backing, that combined with the slightly larger spool size on a 47 may let you comfortably fit that setup.
  18. A Minnkota with I-pilot is the class standard I would say as well. You will def want atleast a 24v, and atleast a 60" shaft. As others have said more power (aka 36v) and a longer shaft (72"+) will only help you in rougher conditions. You could consider matching your electronics to your TM too, Humminbird to Minnkota, Lowrance to Motorguide or Garmin to Garmin, as there additional features you get from matched units. I had a i-pilot Link connected to a Helix on my old boat and was able to have my tm follow contour lines on the map, travel to a specific selected spot on the map, program, save and view routes all on the sonar unit which was nice but prolly not 100% needed to fish. All the big 3 tm have similar main features, like auto-pilot and spotlock/anchor mode which are both most haves imo. Having the bow mount with autopilot and a kicker is a great combo, the bow mount AP does the steering while the kicker does the pushing. Personally my choice would be a Minnkota Terrova or Ulterra (Auto-deploy and stow the tm from the remote).

    I don't know of anyone using them on kickers, but I know several captains that use them on their main motors which they then connect to their kickers via a EZ steer bar. Seemed to work well, my only complaint would be they are on the loud side. If you're looking for a standalone kicker AP, I would recommend the Garmin Reactor 40.
