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...

I started doing my own maintenance on an '85 Evinrude 150 XP, and videos from Matt's Shop on Youtube helped a ton. Just this year alone, I had to replace a primer solenoid, rebuild the fuel pump,...

If it makes you feel any better, I did have my kids help me rub Leprechaun Magic onto my '85 Skeeter yesterday afternoon since I didn't have time for a full wash and wax.

Yeah, I wish that my Terrova (2013) had the more accurate spot lock--I'd be fine with the ~5' that the newer spot lock has available. I'm looking for a newer trolling motor with a more usable foot...

Who has a Garmin smartwatch paired to their fish finders, and which one? How do you like it? The reason why I ask is that the battery on my Apple Watch 6 is draining too fast after several years,...

Polywater Lube (water-based for pulling wires and cables through conduit), a 2x4, and a dead blow hammer will be useful if you don't have a press.

I was just thinking that my homeowners’ insurance was only around $1400 when we built the house 5 years ago, and it is now up for renewal for almost $2400. Unfortunately, it is also the same company...

The longest bed for a 1/2 ton crew cab pickup that I recall was a 7' bed on a 2008-2015 Nissan Titan. To get an 8' bed on a crew cab these days is with a 3/4 or 1 ton most likely.

Nothing but repairs for me; I haven't had time or budget to bling out my boat and trailer.
