Maiden voyage is still pending, but had some fun rigging up the Garmin and Livescope. Not as bad as I expected, a couple interesting spots running the wires. Had to add a second larger hole in the trolling motor tray to run the wires, but preferred that over the metal bow or floor areas. Don't ya hate when you run a wire, then the second one, and go to reassemble and the first one was over the TM cable and had to be under....
Here's a few more pictures, since there is never enough pictures on the Tin boards
Broke my wallet, so only one Garmin to start with an extra base setup that I will switch between bow and console.
Livescope installed on Ultrex
Left side of the garage is play side with my setup for building MHX kits and eventually hoarding tackle once I learn what works here in Texas
Dealer installed power pole brackets for future install at no additional labor. They wanted to move the engine height prior to pickup so that was pretty cool. Never had a SHO, very excited! Also I kept the Lowrance 7 Hook and mounted the GT52 transducer in its old spot and moved the old transducer up and to the right a touch so the Garmin is unobstructed. Thought about doing the 93sv in-dash but couldn't bring myself to buy any of those mounts when they cost over 30 percent of the unit itself. I'm a happy with the simplicity of RAM mounts, used them for years.
Rounding out the other side of the garage. My sales rep from the dealer actually just dropped off a bicycle seat for me to swap out one of the fold downs, weird that the unit was ordered with two fold downs.
I'm itching to get it out, but will happily move tackle around in it and do my 5th coat of slick mist while waiting
