I mostly ice fish, but this should be applicable to using the LVS62 in my boat as well.


I upgraded my LiveScope to LiveScope Plus last Fall. It's been a bit of a disappointment tbh. I think I...

Not quite a bass boat, but I've found the expertise on this forum to be second to none over the years. This is my first time mounting an outboard myself, so I'm seeking some input from those who...

Good to know. I would have thought the resolution would have made a difference. My Carbon 16 has way better definition than my Carbon 12s on my boat. Cheers.

I'm just wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to compare these back to back. I purchased a Panoptix LiveScope Ice Fishing Bundle last year, which came with an EchoMAP Plus 95sv with 400 X 800...

I just bought a couple of Minn Kota PC chargers myself last month. To be honest though, if I could go back in time, I would take a good look at Dual Pro chargers. They seem to have a better program...

That's a Group 24 battery with a low reserve capacity. I can see you having issues with that one. Look for a larger Group 31 battery. It will have a much higher reserve capacity (which is what...

That's the setup I'm trying to get away from.

I'm not fussy on the look of the zippered canvas tubes. That's a last resort for me. The vacuum cleaner hose is a good idea. My ShopVac's hoses are definitely more flexible than the TH Marine...

I hope I put this in the right forum. I'm in the middle of cleaning up the rigging for my 300. I picked up a bunch of supplies from TH Marine to run a nice clean rigging tube from the outboard into...

And a specialized Gateway Connector for your NMEA network. They force you to pull out your wallet at every opportunity.

I run something similar and I have 5 batteries. No way am I trusting all those electronics to the starting battery all day...

FWIW, I have those X2 batteries (they're re-branded Northstars), and they are incredible batteries with a significantly better warranty. Pick one up off the ground next time you're at the shop and...

Yeah that's more or less what I'm doing. I think I'll just use bus bars and keep the inline fuses instead of fuse blocks though. I have some ideas for a panel when I get the black starboard in. ;)

Thank you very much for the information. As I mentioned, the Warrior rigging harnesses were attached to the battery via two ring connectors (there were several leads connected to each ring). I'll...

So I mentioned I had an issue with the bilge. First of all, when I couldn't find a wire on the battery that corresponded to the bilge I went exploring. It turns out power for the bilge pump is on...

After giving it more thought and doing more research, I think I will just replace the current battery with a smaller Group 24 AGM I have and put the downrigger leads on the trolling motor bank. I...

I found this document on Blue Sea Systems' website, which seems to be helpful. What would the highest current be in the system? Starting the battery I would think. Where can I find that info? I...

Also, I'm in a bit of a holding pattern with this project as I mull over what kind of cranking battery to use and where to put it. Any feedback on that matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My digitrolls aren't connected to my MFDs, since I am not running Hbirds. My electronics are in fact on a completely separate, isolated system. The wiring for my Digitrolls runs into the starboard...

So I'm in the middle of rewiring my cranking battery. As I pulled everything out, it got me to thinking. My boat is stern heavy to begin with. I have a big 300HP Suzuki 4 stroke outboard on an Atlas...

Thanks Leon.

More information on the 12 leads that were on the battery.



Leads for the Suzuki 300
Leads for the Suzuki 9.9

So among the many things (12 leads onto each battery post!) connected to my battery are my two cannon Digi Troll 10 down riggers. While reading through the manual to find what size fuse they need...

The work shown in the pictures is what the local "marine techs" put out...that's how I arrived at this mess. Short of a 1500 mile round trip visit to the west coast, I'm not likely to find anyone...

To be honest all those labels were just there during setup. They will be removed and replaced with a laminated card indicating what is what on the backbone and in the Blue Sea Systems fuse block. ;-)
