    What hummingbird unit can i order to work with this transponder?

    New to me boat has a transponder and wiring already on it. Mount in the boat is for a Hummingbird. If I can find a cheap/used unit to just plug in to the existing setup that would be great.

    is this an issue?

    new to me boat, home made trailer. Not sure I like how the boat sits at the front. Thinking of wrapping a pool noodle or rag and a ton of duct tape around the front of the trailer because I'm concerned it will damage the boat as you can see from the dent it already has. I'm not really sure why...

    "The Hulk" - New to me, needs TLC and looking for knowledge

    I bought two 14ft Jon Boats yesterday, one was ready to go fishing and this one...not so much. BUT I love this boat because A) it was $50 for boat and trailer (father passed, they wanted it gone) and B) It has an open floor plan, casting deck, and a front plate for the trolling motor and those...

    I finally found my boat deal :D

    Some of you know I have been looking for a jon or bass boat for the lakes around here instead of my V-bottom, simply because its a better fit for me. Found one, and the deal worked out great. I bought my 12' V-Hull in perfect shape on a nice trailer complete with a Johnson 5.5 (needed pulse...

    "Just needs a carb tuneup"

    Snipped from a thread recently where I was looking at a boat... I guess it didn't seel (who knows) because they called me today and asked if I wanted to see it, so I went. Holy hell what a MESS. "Just needs the carb tuned"....yeaaaa thats should be followed by AND. Lets break it down: 1) I...

    Looking at this boat...

    Bit larger then I wanted but something I am possibly considering. I'm strictly a lake fisher but it will see Mark Twain and Lake of the Ozarks so it needs to be a good boat. I know the general things to look for just never owned one quite like this and have never owned a mercruiser though my...

    Help me "map" my local lake

    http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1101/downloads/A34bowling_final.pdf I have no fish finder, so I'm trying to determine off this USGS map the depths through the lake and if I can, the general terrain of the bottom. Right now I only know that theres some spots (and not all near the middle) where my...

    Thinking of trading my boat, what is fair?

    If you like you can skip this first post and read the couple I made afterwards. I'm brainstorming and this first post was pretty long so you may opt to skip reading all of it until you see the mental disaster going on below. I have a V-Bottom boat, I will get into the details in a moment. The...

    I need to come up with some type of rod holder

    My boat has no rod holders. Walmart and every local place don't have any, either except for those metal spiral ones for the beach and i already have a few of those and they aren't for the boat. So I don't feel like ordering some because I should be able to come up with something around the...

    My bow mount for trolling motor need to know it's ok

    Here is what I came up with for forward mounting my trolling motor on my boat. I just want to make sure that I won't damage the boat this way. The motor completely clears the boat no worries of the prop hitting it. I made sure the wood is not treated because I heard that affects the aluminum...
