(='_'=)

i tested it on friday, and had a tournament saturday and sunday... i ended up finishing in second... 1/2 the boats didnt even bring a fish to the scales... it was a 2 day tournament. On sunday i caught 8 fish out of this spot... so FishReveal ON for me...

I was wondering the same thing. I just finished installing an HDS 7 Gen3 with fish reveal and will test it on the water tomorrow, hopefully in the afternoon i can report back.

I pull a 18ft boat with my 4 door wrangler. With my surge brakes disabled i can definitely notice the difference.

Well, i just upgraded my units, from Elite HDIs, I went to a couple HDSs, a Gen3 and a Gen2, with a LSS transducer and ethernet cable to link them. So, it has no StructureScan module. I know with the LSS transducer, i will get SideImage on the Gen3. But, what does the StructureScan module does exactly?? From what i have been reading, I think it used both DownScan and SideScan to create a better, much clearer SideScan image. Is that correct? Do you have a picture of the same underwater structure, with regular side or down image, and then viewed with structurescan module? My units are still in the mail so i have not been able to play with them, i just want to read as much as possible before getting them. Thanx!!

I want to do an upgrade on my console unit without breaking the bank. Right now, i can get any of those units for a similar price, around $500, with side image transducer. But, i dont know the pros or cons of any of them. So, which one would you pick? I may want to link it to my Elite 7 HDI on the bow. Thanx.

not much, if you are not afraid of cutting into it... i added one to my 94 Javelin in a morning.... i used a jigsaw to cut into the deck... measure 3 times, cut only once...

Do you have a recessed tray for the pedal?? If not, I would strongly suggest you get one. Not only will it help you maneuver the TM easier, but it will also give you more stability and balance, and will reduce your back pain. I was hesitant at first, but once i tried it, i wish i had done it sooner. It is not easy cutting in your new boat, but it is well worth it.

thanx, i will change just the plugs then. In case i find the plugs locally, they will be automotive. can i use those? if not, i will have to order online in the USA and pick them up next time im up north.

thanx for your input! i live in Mexico though, so we dont have any prop shops around. So i will start by checking compression and changing spark plugs and wires and go from there. Overall i am happy with the boat, i have fished out of it almost every weekend for the 3 years i have owned it. the requirement for a hydrofoil is what had me thinking maybe a jack plate was required for the boat to perform better.

thanx, i will check compression. i have been running this boat for 3 years now without an issue, but i know its a very old motor that may need some care.

i just placed an order for about 200 and didnt see the free shirt button... i had seen it last week, but not today, maybe i missed it... what i DID notice is that, one of the rods i got (st croix), is excluded from the sale... so i purchased it at the regular price... but when i got my confirmation email, the rod shows the discount price.... i have yet to check my bank account to see how much they charged, hopefully they did apply the discount to that one as well... i bought 2 rods and got free shipping with no extra charge as well, and no tax.

thanx! my goal is better speed and performance. as it is right now, i need a hydrofoil for it to plane. it jumps on plane very quickly with one, but without the hydrofoil, it takes forever.... and my top end speed is 52 mph, when i have seen others with my same boat running mid 60s... now that you mention, i rarely go faster than 40, as the lake i normally fish i can go from one end to the other in 5-7 minutes at 40 mph.... there are some bigger lakes i visit once or twice a year, and thats when i need more speed.... also i dont tournament fish... so, maybe i should not go in the hassle of a jack plate?? my boat is from 1994 BTW, and i am running a Raker 24 pitch SS prop.

Hey. i have a 379T Javelin with a 150HP Johnson. I am looking for a manual jack plate and found this oneÑ https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jack-Plate-JPL-4500-Adjustable-6-Outboard-Boat-Jackplate-/290875834239 any comments about it? or another jack plate you recommend that wont break the bank? Also, can i use a 6" jack plate with my current setup without having to extend steering lines? I am running a hoot foot as well. Thank you,

thanx for your input!! So after some thought and reading your comments, i decided towards a St Croix Mojo Bass. Dicks is having a 25% off sitewide, so I will get it there. Now, should i go with the 6'10" Medium Light Extra fast, or the 7'1" Medium Fast? St Croix mentions the 6'10" for drop shot/finesse, so i was thinking about picking that one. I normally use 1/8 and 3/16 drop shot weight, and 1/16 split shot weights, so i need something that will cast light lures easily. My current spinning rod is very soft, labeled M but i dont know the action. I would like something similar. I am looking for more sensitivity, castability and overall performance i am very happy with that cheap rod.

I dont think a coupon is needed. I got this on my email
