    Garmin 188C screen issues anyone?

    I probably could have added to the recent "188c mounting" post, but I'm starting a new one. I'm about to purchase one of these units, but I was searching the net last week and added the words "bad reviews" to my search. And I found this link/site, I emailed the guy and he wrote back that he...

    JRC Plotter/Fishfinder 500F-Opinions?

    Hi,<br /><br />Ain't spring yet, still shopping, looking at combo units. Garmin, in my price range, screen seems small. Si-Tex and Furuno combo units look more like plotters/gps's converted to fishfinders (not much vertical height to screen). I just came across this one yesterday, from JRC...

    Si-Tex Profish II Map/Sounder Plus or similar combo unit

    Has anyone had any experience with one of these fishfinder/chartplotter combo units? <br /><br />I've been planning on putting in a fishfinder only this year. Budget is $500-$1000 max. Was leaning towards the Furuno 600L, but keep reading about it's sunlight compatability. My other choice...

    Help me ID a transducer please

    Hi,<br /><br />I bought my Grady last year without a fishfinder, guy I bought it from said previous owner removed the fishfinder, and replaced it with shoot through hull depth gage that hardly ever works. So I've been shopping for fishfinders, and came up with the bright idea that if someone...

    "POS Marketing"

    True story, I saw this on the news last night, the kiosks that closed in a local mall after x-mas were selling defective video games and those flying UFO toys. So the tv stations investigating and the mall manager's looking into it, and says the kiosks were rented by POS Marketing for the...

    Unfortunately, it was supposed to come in!<br /><br />I thought I was proceeding in a safe manner last night, I moved everything out of the way, except a 5 gallon bucket to rest it on once it came in. I had an old sweatshirt on with both arms wrapped around it in a bear hug manner before I used...

    Have You Built or Installed a Marine Head?

    I'm guessing in that confined space you will just have room for a basic head. (nothing fancy under it)<br /><br />You'll need to add like a 1 1/2' ball valve to draw seawater in. Save your freshwater.<br /><br />You'll need to add a 6 or 12 gallon holding tank.<br /><br />And add a waste...

    Question for "Don S" regarding kicker...

    Don,<br /><br />I saw the picture of your boat in the "Search and Rescue" post. Looks like you have a swim platform on there. I posted a while back and no one answered what type of kicker motor bracket would clear a swim platform. Do you know what make/model's on there? <br /><br />Thanks<br...

    Raymarine DS600X or Furuno FCV600L

    Has anyone bought one of those new Raymarine, “A” Series, HDFI fishfinders? I believe they’ve been out for almost a year now. <br /><br />I was gonna buy the Furuno at the boat show last year, but got swayed into looking at the Raymarine. Then, even the Furuno guys told me the Furuno wasn’t...

    Kicker Motor Bracket w/swim platform?

    I've been meaning to ask this one for a while now. The boat's a 25' Grady with a straight inboard, and has a full size swim platform. I always tow my inflateable and have to take the 8 horse, 15" shaft, Johnson off of it. Need someplace other than the deck to store it. I'd love to find a...

    Inboard Steering Problems

    Inboard Steering Problems<br /><br />Hi folks,<br /><br />I went to power up the boat last weekend, and I felt something tugging the steering to the right, and it was making a cluck clunk type of noise. Almost sounded like banging on the hull up near the helm. I drove back to port real slow...
