My used boat I purchased came with a Eagle Magna II on it. It don't have a manual and I found a PDF file which is currently printing as I type. Who owns Eagle as I read somewhere online it was Lowrance? My questions are what are the differences between Fish Depth Gauges, will I need to buy separate parts if I were to replace what I have as I'm thinking I may have to? I have 2 things at the stern on the starboard side, sensors of some type I'm thinking? One is roundish and squarish and the other is long and pointy and has been ground against the shore or something at one point or another before I acquired it the boat.
I'm trying to find out if there is a way to calibrate what I have to compensate for the ground off sensor at the back of the boat? (Eagle Magna II), the do's and dont's. The basics of these systems and any other info I can on them. Is there a "Fish Finder Central" anywhere on the web that will help the NEWB get all of the technical lingo down? I've heard the phrase transducer and some others which I can't remember at this point.
I also have a Minn Kota Endura C2 Trolling Motor that i need to figure out how to mount to my boat on the bow. It is manual steer. I had it for a few weeks on my raft with a transom mount but now need it for the boat. Is there any brackets Minn Kota Makes which Allows me to adapt or add any options to it? Any help is appreciated. I'm thinking a Board flat with a vertical reinforced board to mount but will the motor work for my boat? It has a extendable handle for steering along with 5 forward and a few reverse speeds.
last of all I need a anchor which will keep me from drifting. I have 2 Ice Cream Tub appearing concrete anchors with a eye in the top which came with the boat but I'm thinking I may need something that can grab, inexpensive if at all possible because with both of those I was still being drifted at times last weekend when the wind picked up a bit.
