they can be shipped in a usps priority box for around 15.00 flat rate up to 70 lbs. I shipped 50 lbs of lead to a guy last yr but don't remember just what it cost. the flat box will hold both weights. if you don't find what you want here look on ebay. they are only around 70.00 for 2 of them.

Thanks I will check out Ebay too..

I HATE trolling but that's what I figured as well so I slow trolled a diver on a hand line and worked up and down the drops. Saw a lot of hooks on the graph but no takers. I threw a slip bobber over the side while a tried some casting as well. Generally I like to keep bumping along with the electric motor to cover water so the bobber option isn't a first option for me unless I've got a great looking screen and want to stay put and throw a number of options at them. However, they just put a 5MPH restriction on the bay so that really hampers my ability to get from spot to spot with any kind of efficiency. I might just hang it up for another week or two....or trailer the boat to Otisco and troll in Justin's wake. That'll up my odds significantly, I'm sure

Damn, I was wondering when that 5mph would come this year...I figured it would be any day now judging by the water level at Mayer's...

Just got an X4D from North Woods outlet in March, $749 + $15 shipping, but no tax...Best deal I found, showed up 2 days after I ordered it.

Looking for a couple of downrigger weights like the one pictured, don't have to be Tru-Trac brand, but need to be 10-12 lbs and local to Rochester/Monroe County...Dont want to think about what shipping would be on these!

Thanks

Hi Bill I will take them, I will send you a check tonight.

Thanks, Mike

XX is usually 25", and it is usually for a sailboat as sszoldra said.  I have an XX 8HP Johnson Sailmaster as my kicker, perfect for a deep v with a garelick adjustable bracket...

Yes actually I just relisted it on CL the other day.  Let me know if you would like to take a look.

Wow you did a great job with this rebuild!  I was wondering, did you screw those pieces of cutting board into the transom, or use 2 part epoxy to mount?  I have 1 piece of star board on my port side mounted with screws and marine adhesive, but i need to put another piece on the starboard side for my Fish Hawk transducer.  I would like to try just the adhesive method, where you drill a couple plug holes in the back side of the star board...Please share!

Northwoods Wholesale Outlet X2...Best price I found and great customer service.

FYI...I have one installed on the port side, but no kicker. The unit is still pretty close  to the turbulence from the main (115hp). Starboard side has a 50/200 transducer, no issue with that either. 

Thanks, I think I will try the FH transducer on the starboard side, but I am going to mount another piece of star board to the port side before I put the boat in its slip so if I have to move it, its not such a pain...

Hi what's the shaft length on it?

I missed that the kicker was on that side and was talking about electrical signal interference and the motor turbulence could be a potential problem but you still may wish to try it out anyway just in case if the turbulence doesn't bother your existing depth finder signal.

Thanks for the feedback...I have seen some comments by members here and on other boards that the kicker creates problems, but my thought is that the FH transducer moves through the water before the kicker does, so it shouldn't be a problem...I would think the 83khz of the Garmin would be a bigger issue but I could be wrong.  

Just purchased an X4D from Northwoods Outlet, and I am looking for some installation advice.  I have a 17' Rinker fiberglass boat, and I have my kicker mounted on a Garelick mount on the starboard side, and this is also where I have a piece of star board mounted for my fish finder transducer (Garmin brand if it matters)  The Garmin runs the dual frequency sonar at 83/200mhz, and the instructions for the Fish Hawk say it runs at 70mhz.  Should I look at adding another piece of star board to the port side of the transom for the Fish hawk, or is it ok to try and mount the Fish Hawk transducer next to the Garmin behind my kicker?  Thank, Mike

Just sent you a PM...

Thanks I just sent you a PM.

How's the drag on the reels?  I know its nearly impossible to get replacement carbon fiber drag washers for these reels...
