Haven't used it yet just got it on my boat. Seems like it going to be really great for crappie fishing, Mounted it on the trolling motor if it works as good as it seems it is i'm planning on buying another for the back of the boat also. The only down fall I had with this order was I had a fishing trip planed with some buddy's order Monday March 19 2018 for for the following weekend fishing trip added for 2 day shipping so I would have it for the trip. Well didn't get till Monday March 26 2018 very upset that I had to cancel my trip. I did get a hold of the seller and they did refund the 2 day shipping cost so that was a plus.
Works great, but didn't come with all the screws needed to put the finder on the mount.
This is a great tool that allows you to improve your fishing skills. Installation was easy on my 16 foot Tracker. The cables are more than long enough. I only wish the power button didn't have to be held down for the unit to turn on.
Purchased this fish finder for my old town predator 13 kayak. It works perfect for me. To mount the transducer, I used a seven inch by one inch 200 psi underground water line. I then put one end in hot water to soften the water line. Then you can easily slice the pipe open about 2 1/4". Directly on the other side notch out 2 1/4'" by 1/8" (your wire will go here). Put the water line in the hot water again for now we will mold it. Find a hard object that is 3/4" wide. Take the water line out of the water and push the split end across your object, then clamp it to flatten the pipe. After it cools take a 1/4" drill to make your hole for your transducer bolt. I used a piece of concrete expansion foam to wrap the pipe to make it fit snug in the kayak. Then take a hose clamp to keep it from sliding down.
takes a little getting used to with all the options.
