I’m not familiar enough with the Onix to know if it is better than an 1198, but I’ve had a 798, two 898, a 998, and now two 1199s, so I’m partial to this series.
I'm not trying to hijack the thread, but I had a thought about all of this--do you have a switch to disconnect the Combiner (or at least the lithium battery) when the boat is stowed and charging...
I second this idea; I installed a Stern Saver so that swapping transducers again won’t require sealing holes and drilling new holes into the fiberglass. Who cares if I have a few holes in the...
I’ve had a bow buddy on my boat for about 10 years, and because it is now worn out enough, I’m about to order a Ramp ‘n Clamp.
That’s my thought as well, and I don’t even have a jackplate. There’s already enough stuff going on the water, and sometimes simpler is better. Unless you are racing for time slips, the above...
I also find that setting up my alignment with the 360 before entering the area that I'm fishing is important. I like being able to see my waypoints on my 360 image. I'm spider rigging for crappie...
I spider rig for crappie a lot of the time, so both for me. However, when I take other people fishing, I tend to sit on the port side and let the other person play with Livescope pole installed on...
360 with FFS
I've used the Swivel Ease for several years because the seat is too far forward on my '85 Skeeter. It took a little while to get use to it, and I've not been thrown out of the boat yet. To put a...
The goal is to get large enough conductors to overcome voltage drop over the distance and load, and typically people aim for 3% for sensitive electronics. You can go bigger to reduce the percentage...
I generally look at my side scan to see if there is potential. I'll then use my 360 and Livescope to make better determination while fishing.
At one time I remember going about 60-61 mph in my '85 Skeeter SF-175 (18') a few years ago with less gear and by myself; however, although with gear and my son in the boat (and having added larger...
Contour follow similar to Minn-Kota/Humminbird
Not exactly, but I do run a Garmin 93sv UHD, GLS10, LVS32, Hummingbird 1199, and 360 from the bow as well as another Humminbird 1199 and 5-port switch from the console on the same Sam’s Club Duracell...
1985. I think that the insurance company will have to declare the boat totaled before I get rid of it--I'd rather spend a ton of money rebuilding it than buying a new boat.
It sounds like you are 3 years ahead of me on this one--I'd like to hear the results on the battery test.
I use the Minn Kota plug. Unfortunately, I had to drill/cut a new hole for the plug because it was much bigger than the original plug on my Skeeter.
I've thought about Raptorlining the trailer but still got to figure out where to store the boat while doing this. However, I Raptorlined my truck back in 2017, and it has been holding up pretty...
I made my own with 1" PVC, 1.25" PVC for sleeves and fittings, and RAM mounts since I also have a Humminbird 360 on my setup. Unfortunately, I don't have a finished photo (just work in progress) on...
Depending on what you are fishing for and how you fish, I think that you will like the Garmin Livescope setup. Listening to the Crappie connection podcast, it seems that crappie fishermen like the...
My last set was about 10 years old by pure accident--kids were really young and keeping me too busy the last few years. The boat is garage kept, so they definitely didn't look bad at all. When I...
I ordered a set or progressive polarized sunglasses from Glassesshop.com that seem to work well enough for my needs. Prior to going from contacts to glasses full-time, I wore Ray-Ban while my wife...
After installing rod holders, 360, FFS, and stacking a 9" and 10" fishfinder, I'm thinking that steps are getting to be pretty important for climbing in and out, and I'm a slender, fit, middle-aged...
The fish still have to bite. My crappie fishing experience on Friday and Saturday has told me that it is possible to find fish but you still have to figure out how to make them bite. If the goal...
