I'm a new member to this forum. Thanks for having me.
I'm getting ready to install a fish finder. It's a Humminbird HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G2 Fish Finder/Chartplotter.
I have a trolling motor on the way. It's a Minn Kota Riptide PowerDrive Bow Mount Bluetooth Trolling Motor with CoPilot.
I'm adding 4 rod holders and 2 pedestal seats, and a few other goodies.
I took it out yesterday and gave it a dry run. I can see now that I have to add some weight to the front. When I goose the engine, the bow rises way up until the boat starts on a plane. When I add my trolling motor, marine battery, and a live well it should be balanced out pretty good.
I have the side bunkers off of the trailer because I'm modifying them. I also need to pull the boat back on the trailer just a bit before I install the transducer.
