Looking to have an expert install my EchoMap 93SV and Livescope units, to get optimum performance, and it seems all the marine service centers are booked out until June. They aren't taking appointments right now since they are so backed up. However, the Cabela's in Hoffman Estates IL said they could do the install within 2 weeks. Anybody use a Cabela's to rig their boat and were you satisfied? Thanks in advance !!
You did say "expert" correct...you may want do it yourself at that point.

Well bless your heart.Quote:

Nothing fancy, but seems to always meet the manufacturers requirements.
I would think people who rig/service boats for a living would have far more expertise in this situation than somebody who spent 35+ years working in a hospital OR. But thanks for having confidence in me.:beers:Quote:

I seen a brand new nitro with 1/2 inch holes drilled in the transom for 5/16" powerpole lines to go thru,( cm 1.0) gelcoat was splintered as well from not knowing how to properly drill thru glass. ususalyy there is a experienced person.. or 2 there however they may not be doing it. I just had a buddy buy a boat from Bass pro the salesman told him there was never a need for more then 1 powerpole on the boat and he was a " tournament pro".Quote:
