    If you wait a few weeks they may come out with the mega ducer in that model like they did the ultrex

    Congrats on the new RB!!

    Call Brian at BBG Marine and he will walk you through everything you need to hook up the transducer. If you don't already have the trolling motor he will make you a great package deal.

    The RB was my first choice but it wouldn’t fit under my old house garage door. So, I bought RT RT188. I’m having a 14x24 garage built at the house we bought a few weeks ago with a 10’ wide and 9’ tall door in case I ever want cricket legs etc... The RB’s are a versital rig.

    Javelin, go to Cornfield Crappie.com and check out the cable saver for the ulterra, I think this is what you are looking for for the transducer install.

    Just a little help with posting pics:
    There are two problems, when posting pics taken with an iPhone, Orientation and size. The best way I found to solve the orientation problem is to take the picture with the “camera+” app. The pic will always post in the same orientation as seen through the view finder. Be sure to set the options to save the pictures to your camera roll.
    The “PhotoShrinker” app will resize single or multiple pics at one time. It cost a couple bucks but well worth it.

    Thanks Bill I wished BBC had a app I'm on crappie.com and I have a app for them and it made everything easier and no problems at all posting pics it definitely made things a lot easier.

    I got my RB 190 in October (50th anniversary model) and I love it. I’ll probably add a Bimini top soon.
