It had plenty of throttle left to play with just trying to abide by the motor break in procedure. 1 hour ago, footballcoach said: How long did it take for you to get the gift card??? Just shy of 2 weeks from pick up date of boat. 3 Quote
Bolar Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 So while I wait, I've been kicking around a few ideas. Since it only has an RPM gauge, anyone thinking about putting in anymore gauges? From what I've read, speedometers are almost a waste of time. They clog and end up unusable after awhile, don't know. What about an hour meter or volt meter? These look like they might be a good match. http://www.mercruiserparts.com/895295a41-gauge-cruise-log-1 http://www.mercruiserparts.com/895285a41-gauge-speed-w-b-c-1 1 Quote

Odie Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 New to forum. Just ordered my 40th anniversary tracker this past Thursday. Can’t wait. Do I have to change transducer if I upgrade with lowrance head unit combo with gps ? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 4, 2018 Super User Posted February 4, 2018 Saw it in person at ge boat show yesterday. It’s really pretty nice. Simple, every thing you need and not overkill. The color is actually pretty sharp in person. Congrats to all you that are getting one. 2 Quote

Yes you are most likely going to have to swap out the transducer for the one that comes with the Finder that has the GPS. Quote

I will only have the finder that comes with it. I'm trying to hold off on buying a bunch of stuff right now until I actually get the boat. I figure I will know better what I want after I get it out on the water. Basics like PFD's, some rope...I have already, but my buying list is getting longer the more I have to wait . Quote

Fortunately I have a smaller boat with a better trolling motor and finder that are being the first upgrades the Heritage. Hoping to talk my CFO (wife) out of the money for a trolling motor foot pedal tray which would be the next of the upgrades. Quote
